This really struck me when I bought a new car and my mother asked me how much it cost. I told her what we'd paid, and she said, but how much is it per month? The idea of just buying a car didn't compute. At least I finally got her off the lease treadmill. Toyota helped a lot by not making anything she particularly liked. When I suggested she buy out her lease instead of getting a new one, it was a revelation.
