Cash for clunkers pulled lots of used cars off the market but my understanding is plummeting manufacturing of new cars after the financial crisis was responsible for a much higher percentage of the gain. Cash for clunkers pulled like 700k out of the market. The auto industry was making millions less cars and trucks per year from 2008-2012.
