This sounds like a temporary blip, Where are these cheap cars? I wanna see 15k used cars in decent shape. How much of this is driven by compliance cars finally reaching the point where few really want them + early models being unreliable?

The car is almost brand new, has a realistic 180-200 mile range and a wealth of features. Total cost 12k.
