Who said anything about payments - I'm talking about price - period.
And if I sell/trade my truck, what does that have to do with the price, the price is the price ... and it's increased at a faster rate than everything else, including all those "value-less" dollars the feds print. If they're so value-less, just give some extra to me in the form of a check, or even cash will do.
This is the U.S.of A.- and you're right...the price is the price.
Thing is, in this our much-worshiped "whatever the market will bear" economy, "the price" is based on
the market.
Which market seems to me to be perfectly willing to pay big upcharges for faux-leather seats, built-in GPS systems, raised-letter tires, and whatever other frippery that we're quite willing to believe to be essential to what used to be simple modes of transportation.
On t'other hand...they gussied up pickup-type trucks they be puttin' out these days sho' is purty! :)
