Any idea why used car prices are higher than new ones?

My uncle years ago bought a Chevy Sierra pickup truck. Today that is priced at $52,000 new. That gives a lot of room for used car and truck prices to grow.

2021 Honda Accord 2021 Honda Accord $24,970.

My uncle years ago bought a Chevy Sierra pickup truck. Today that is priced at $52,000 new.

In 1976 I bought a new Chevy Blazer, with a straight six, three on the tree and lock out hubs. The interior was stripped and no back seat. I believe the cost was around $4,700.

I used that truck to haul a lot of things. And I drove it across the country on mineral collecting trips since I was a rockhound when younger.

I sold it to a guy in the old neighborhood. He pulled the straight six and dropped in a V-8. He blew up the rear end and then couldn't find parts. It is long ago in the junk yard.

And he is dead. He got drunk in Wisconsin, went off the road and hit a tree. He left a wife and two kids behind. I bet those kids grew up to be delinquents since his wife could not handle them alone. :-/

Seems that a shortage of chips is going to negatively affect the production of new cars.
