First 179 purchase I made was at cost, no discount...I more than made up for that in the write off which was huge back then (2006?) My accountant brokered the sale to be as much as the car was worth to maximize the wrie-off.

Base cars come with more features than “Limiteds” did years ago. I bought a new F150 a couple years ago. Base model, with very few options. Still has Apple Car Play, auto high beams, pre-collision alert, gigantic screen, Bluetooth, all sorts of usb plugs, etc. One of the safest vehicles as well. All at a lower relative cost than my father’s Ford was back in the 90’s. (I paid low $30k’s).

Where the subsidy comes into play is that it affects demand. The price of the vehicle is *effectively* lower for some buyers, which increases demand for the trucks and which *potentially* drives prices up for scarce resources (number of trucks.) On the other hand, the higher volume allows the manufacturer to enjoy increased economies of scale, which should bring costs (and prices down.) Now, the important question is...do these trucks have roof rails or do you need Thule or Yakima fit kits to mount bike racks.
