I once bought a brand new MG-MGB for $1,000 :-) The shop had only one,
and it was for display on the main floor. I said, "I'd like that one".
The salesman asked me, "said how did you plan to pay for it?" I said,
"CASH!". The guy hollers, ""Come get this car out of the show room for
this customer" :-)

I never understood "only $000 per month". But it's very
popular, perennially.

You're a smart shopper. My MGB was well worn at $500, also
cash on the table. I rebuilt the body (including two steel
chainrings to replace missing edges of the headlight
buckets), painted it and rebuilt engine, gearbox and whatnot
including making an A-arm from steel channel after the cast
one snapped on the road.  A fine series of adventures over a
10 year span and quite enjoyable overall.  And I learned a lot!

In my entire life I've bought only two items on the "never - never".
When I came back from some 6 years in Japan with literally nothing my
clothes and a Japanese Wife, and had to acquire housing, transpiration
ands all the miscellaneous  stuff it takes a guy and his new wife to
live.  I bought 40 ft trailer for monthly payments, and years later
when I retired I bought a house in California.
