No biggie for me, I wouldn't get one unless money was no object in the first place.

 

[PoPPeR]

damn that only gives me 3 days to buy my SL65 AMG or else i'll have to pay another 3,100

 

[maziwanka]

[SuperTool]

Looks like mostly the high end has seen increases, but the low and midrange is unchanged.

 

[elektrolokomotive]

What are relief! They aren't priced any further out of my reach!!!

Cars are the most overpriced product anywhere..... Inflation like a mofo. (Houses may be even more so...or at least second)
