Default Y do people think our cars cost so much?

I went the RIT for my Bachelors degree and am in my fist year of a good job. People constently give me flack about my car.

"Now that your out of college you must be makin the big money with a car like that."

The kid who just unlocked the iPhone traded it for a Z and the guy on the local news today was like "wow kid like that has a 50K car?"

I got my 04 for 22K, an average price for a high quality car i think. Y do people think the Z cost so much?

because it really looks expensive and you usually only see older people driving it(unless you are in cali, florida, and las vegas)

I use to think the same. I only saw business guys driving it and seeing parts were so expensive. Thought it was impossible to get.

that depends on a lot of things. All of my family members and friends that have cars over 30k, we finance only through a 3 year term so montly payment will range from atleast 500-800.
