[QUOTE="Bravo 4, post: 609359, member: 8873"] We as a consumer are not very bright. They cost what they do for the same reason everything else does, because people will buy them. An example is my truck. It's a 2008 4 door 4x4 Dodge Ram V8 with power everything. The sticker price on it at the dealer was right at $35,000. I bought it new in December 08 when they were getting the new 09's in. I told them I'd give them $20,000 for it and wouldn't accept more then a 5.5% interest rate...and drove it home. The funny thing is they still made money off of it. Just no where near what they wanted to. It's a nice truck and has served me well so far. Call me cheap but there is no way I would have paid $35,000 on a new truck. A buddy of mines dad just paid $60,000 for a new Chevy!!!! Here's what I say- if people would not buy new cars for one month I bet they would freak out and drop the prices CONSIDERABLY! I wish we could do that with gas, but they got ya by the balls on that one.:D [/QUOTE]
