Are you in the market for a new car? Prices for new vehicles set a record in August of $31,252. That's up 3.2 percent from a year ago according to TrueCar.com.
Given the tens of thousands of vehicles lost during the superstorm last month, residents of New Jersey and other affected states have been dealing with a slight uptick in car prices.
New car prices have reached a record high, despite the struggling economy and a nationwide spike in gas prices. In fact, higher prices at the pump could be blamed for the "sticker shock."
