Its not just puma/ escorts.

Generally, there are not many cars out there at the moment.
Its basic supply and demand.

A good gauge of supply in the uk car market is autotrader. In Oct 08 there were circa. 425,000 cars online in britain. Today, there are less than 320,000 thats around 25% down. This drop in supply, does, is and, will continue to drive prices upwards.

The crunch is biting.
Cheers.
