No, that's not correct. It's pretty basic economics. The price of cars in California does not affect the price of cars in Michigan because it is unreasonable to assume that a buyer would be choosing between a car in MI and a car in CA.
Obviously I'm not talking about a car with surface rust...it's very rare to see those nowadays.
I guarantee any GM, DCX or Ford vehicle sells for a higher price in MI than it does in CA. Do these vehicles sell for a higher price here because of salted roads?
