Car Prices On The Rise
Slowly but surely, the cost of buying going up.

If there was any bright spot at all during the ongoing recession, it was that companies were hesitant to raise prices on most anything. As sales were shrinking, many companies resorted to lowering prices to keep customers coming.

Now, as our economy slowly starts to improve, many companies are beginning to reverse that trend and starting to raise prices once more. One of the industries where prices are on the rise is the auto industry.

According to Autotrader,com, "The new Ford Fusion’s average price went up 10 percent, while the new Chevrolet Corvette’s average price was up just under 10 percent. Other models from Jeep, Honda, Toyota, Dodge, Nissan and Volkswagen also saw modest average prices increases year over year in April."
