Car Prices

Recently I saw some prices on new cars. Wow, what sticker shock. Advertisements make new cars sound like they are cheap. They may say, only $27,500 for a new car. That sounds more like a house price. Ok, maybe it has been a few years since homes were that price but come on, I am not paying that much for something that is going to depreciate. I saw another one that advertised a new car for $399.00 a month for 37 months. Then of course you had to pay over $2,000 at the time of signing. That seems terrible. What do you think ?
