ONLY $229,000 For A Used Car

Yes, on the way into work a car dealership ran their weekly radio ad...they have a 2004 Maybach "sold new for over $350,000 now ONLY $229,000!"

OK...seems to me that if you can plunk down $229,000 for a car, you can probably reach down behind the sofa and scratch up the rest of the cash for a brand new Maybach.

Or are there a lot of people out there who think, "gee, I can't go a penny over $230,000...what kind of car can I get?"
