Autos Weather Katrina, End Up for Sale
Insurance investigators say cars and trucks have been taken out of flood zones after Hurricane Katrina and sent to used car lots nationwide. It's not illegal to do this if the damage is disclosed, but sometimes it's not. Used-car buyers are being urged to take precautions.
Demand for used cars is up and so are the prices, according to a study by <em>Kelly Blue Book</em>. When the economy was really bad, car companies didn't produce as much. So now there are fewer 2008 and 2009 used cars.
