发帖数: 336 | 1 Over the last 25 years, the average price paid for a new car has steadily
increased in relation to average individual income. This increase indicates
that individuals who buy new cars today spend, on average, a larger amount
relative to their incomes buying a car their counterparts did 25 years ago.
most weaken the argument?
Sales to individuals make up a smaller proportion of all new-car sales than
they did 25 years ago.
Can anybody explain why?
Thanks. | o*******o
发帖数: 1 | 2 Cars are sold to two groups of buyers: individuals and non-individuals (corp
. etc). Higher price paid by either group could drive up the average price.
If the individual buyers now make up a smaller portion than before, the
increase in car price is more likely due to higher price paid by non-
individual buyers. Think about the extreme cases: 25 years ago it was all
individual buyers paying $5k each for a car and today there is no individual
buyer but the non-individual buyers are paying on
