Simple answer to your question,
1) It's like a proffessional courtesy discount kinda thing.
2) Government entities
Take your pick. I wouldn't mind paying that for a fully loaded vehicle myself. This 30K for a new truck mess is stupid, and everyone's complaining about the price of gasoline?
That's why I drive older vehicles, they're cheaper and if you find a good one, you'll have something that has just as much quality as a brand new one, but:
A) None of the overhead
B) None of the depreciation of a new vehicle!!!!! (that's the part I like!)
1988 F-150, SWB, 5.0 EFI (formerly 4.9 EFI), M5OD 5 speed, 3.08 gears, Summit shorty truck headers, Custom built Flowmaster exhaust system. Force 4 LP6000 lightbar, Federal signal PA-300 100 watt siren, Icom IC-V100 50 watt mobile radio.
=======================================
1965 F-100 (just purchased 1/18/01), SWB, 390, C-6 auto. Dual exhaust, Not much else to do to it.
Can see both below.
