I support the American economy by buying my used cars from dealerships in the USA. I support the LOCAL economy by buying my cars from local dealerships (wherever I happen to be living at the time I make the purchase). Those dealerships employ people who reside in the USA, who spend money at local supermarkets, pay to local landlords or mortgages at American banks, buy clothing from stores in a reasonable distance from their homes or places of employment, get take-out for lunch at their local fast-food joint, etc. etc.

Even better, I am supporting the people who needed - for whatever reason - to unload their old cars. Because thanks to me, there's an actual market for used cars, which means those people get to unload theirs.
