Used Vehicle Prices Hyperinflate As Inflation Begins To Spiral Out Of Control All Over America

• http://theeconomiccollapseblog.com by Michael Snyd

In particular, vehicle prices have become exceedingly painful in recent months.  Due to a crippling global shortage of computer chips, production of new vehicles is way down, and a lot of that demand has shifted into the used vehicle market.  Over the past year, used vehicle prices have escalated at a pace that we have never seen before in our entire history, and things reached a crescendo during the month of October.  If you can believe it, used vehicle prices increased by 9.2 percent last month…

The industry's key index of used vehicle prices jumped another 9.2% over the span of just a month. That puts the index 38% higher than a year ago — compared to "just" 27% for the same stat in September.

If used vehicle prices rose by 9.2 percent for an entire year, that would be really bad.

For that to happen in just one month is simply breathtaking.
