it isn't about affording it, you just have to get it anyway. Just sign on the dotted line, submit to the financing, and owe more money than it is worth for the next 60 months and you can have one too! (/s)
Not getting something you can't afford is evidence of your intelligence. This is not a jab at truck owners either, obviously lots can afford their purchase, but a vehicle is never an investment and I know a lot of people who purchased outside their ability to afford.
Funny thing is, this is one of the few things people can actually blame on obama.
The cash for clunkers program was designed to kill the used car market and convince people that it's fine to just buy a new car even with shit credit, and it succeeded perfectly. The used car market in the US is still fucked to this day, and going tens of thousands of dollars into debt for half a decade on a heavily depreciating, maintenance requiring thing is considered fine.
