The Nation But spokesmen for the dealers said Congress responded to the merits of the arguments, not money. Frank McCarthy, the association's executive vice president, said the rule would have driven up used-car prices by $100 to $250 by forcing dealers to inspect vehicles if they had any inkling of a defect. Otherwise, McCarthy said the dealers might be left open to costly lawsuits brought by disappointed buyers who would suspect that any problems in their cars had been concealed. "Inspections are the whole controversy," McCarthy said.
