At the start of the year, new and used car prices were soaring. Nobody had ever heard of a 40% inflation rate for used cars, yet an acute shortage of semiconductors threw the car market into disarray. With chip shortages severely depressing new-car production, consumers with plenty of cash shopped used instead. So prices skyrocketed.
