I was recently foolish enough to buy the exact same car, yes a 2007 Chevy Tahoe, loaded with everything (4×4, nav, dvd, etc.) and similar miles to the one I sold and couldn’t get it for less than $28K (I had to buy it out of Texas and have it shipped). [/quote]
What company did you us to ship your car? I need to ship a small truck back East. The used trucks back East are all rusted so it’s better to buy them here.

I challenge anyone to prove me wrong, but certain vehicles have responded opposite,

Depends on the car. But generally, if you buy a new car, at the lower and mid level, you now get more vehicle for the money.
Toyota Tacomas really hold their values for a long time, especially the clean, low mileage ones.
Cadillacs are definitely deflationary on the used market. You can get a used (formerly expensive car) for next to nothing.

Brian, I used http://www.reserveautotransport.com to ship my car. I think they have a local office here somewhere but they came highly referred and I couldn’t find a better deal out there to ship. I think I got my Tahoe over from Houston for $600 +/-. Everywhere else quoted me $900-$1K+
I’ll have to argue your Caddy point as I was looking for an Escalade as well. Don’t get down on me :). I hate flashy cars, but I figured if I could get a deal on one I’d buy it. Can’t touch a 2007 with average miles for less than $38K. Doesn’t sound like a deal to me for a nearly 4 year old car that has zero demand. $30K and I am buyer!!
I am a savvy buyer/investor (obviously not an investor in vehicles) and I know how to buy, I just see a super odd market right now with cars along with other products that you would think would actually be headed south in a deflationary period.
