$28000 for a car is cheap, especially for a truck. For comparison, the 2020 Honda Civic starts at just shy of $20000.

Is your point that he _needs_ a truck for his job? He is a veteran as stated in the article and wife is a medical worker. Why do they need a truck or is this some basic necessity in the US?

Unless you need the carrying capacity to survive, $28,000 for a car is expensive. Buy a low mileage, older sedan for $5000-$7000. It’ll last 10 years and rarely have problems.

An absolutely amazing claim. $28,000 is cheap for "millions of Americans".

What's a moderately priced car to you? 50K?

Did I say “cheap for millions of Americans”? I’m pretty sure I just said “cheap”, as in cheap compared to most new cars.
