On the Web, No One Knows You're a Used Car Salesman

With so many used-car sites online now, from eBay to Auto Trader, buying and selling cars is easier than frying an egg, or burning out a starter motor. Folks are wheelin' and dealin' as if their names were Cal Worthington or Chick Lambert and their office was a former outhouse in the middle of a parking lot loaded with "late-model" clunkers. Actually, it seems people are buying and selling for their own enjoyment. Either way, it's interesting to see so much liquidity in the used car market. One to mull over: Are there implications for the new car market as people get used to this kind of thing?
