Car prices going 5-10% up are very far from _major_ consequences.

You reading the same page that the GP linked? It says YoY car prices are up 36%... which is enormous.

That's got a huge ripple effect across the market, as best as I can tell, because it pushes people to buy older/lower cost cars across the board. Either that or they continue driving their old/potentially unsafe car even longer.
