    I’m sorry has the cost of a car gone down at any point?

    This is a bad faith statement. You’re not an idiot and you’re well aware that thousands of different inputs raise or lower the overall price of a car including basic things like inflationary actions which have nothing to do with the components of the car, but result in prices increases of the car.

    I could probably find an equally bad faith statement indeed showing the car being cheaper because of the prior increases in 2020 during the pandemic shortage, but I’m not going to find a misleading statement to back that up just to score “points”. Its not honest, and I"m not willing to do that.

    If this is the level of conversation that we’re now at, I think we’ve reach the end of it being productive.

    Have a nice day.

      Oh no, I’ll give you inflation. But the “real” cost of an average new car hasn’t ever gone down. So if they’re making them for lower costs and charging DLC for them…
