that's a well known saying and it's kinna amusing but I really doubt that there's much truth to it
I really doubt that most well off people who buy a $95,000 BMW don't either ask the price of it before buying it or don't already know it from research
no way

Sadly, today $95k for a car doesn't sound astounding. I recently heard that the average pickup truck is now selling for close to $50k.
At my age, a "Life In Prison" sentence is not much of a deterrent.

About ten years ago, I was with a friend who was shopping for a Porsche SUV. He asked the salesman about the mileage and the salesman actually replied that if he was worried about their mileage, this wasn't the car for him. My friend replied that the car was a good fit, you( the salesman) aren't.
Out here, I see a lot of $75,000 pickups and have heard of one that ran over $125,000 with its dualie back wheels and fifth wheel capacity.

The older I get, the better I recall things that never happened

I have to side with billryan on this.
Just went through a truck configuration tool, around $50k base price (for an 8' box; smaller doesn't feel like a "pickup truck" to me), and be prepared to add around $18k in options to get it up to a useful configuration.
More for heated seats and premium infotainment.
May the cards fall in your favor.
