Default Would ~ 500 planes depress the U.S. used aircraft market?

IF this happened as described... (implemented fully), it would be a
buyers market.. and there would be a small niche for qualified ferry
pilots running the "plane pipeline"

As posted here already, the UK government is proposing evicting its

Most of these are N-reg, and many would end up on the U.S. market,
within a short time of each other. To retain worldwide IFR privileges
the pilots would have to do the European IR and my view is that most
would not find the time to work through the ground school. They would
thus lose their European IFR privileges and many would sell up.

If this action does succeed, other European countries are likely to
follow in a wholesale eviction of mainly US-registered aircraft.

I just wonder what would happen to the used aircraft market, if it saw
the arrival of that many aeroplanes; a mixture of piston singles and
twins, turboprops and some jets. Most would not be old Pipers and
Cessnas.
