I found this very interesting as me and the Mrs go through the process of replacing an 8 year old vehicle that is coming up on costly routine maintenance.
People pay for what they can't, won't, or don't have time to do. How much we pay depends on how valuable the service or good is to us. Most of us need a vehicle and shelter to survive. Finding a good mechanic, plumber, etc...is like pulling teeth, they are out there but you will wait around here for them to get parts and the time to squeeze you in.
The rising costs of home ownership is right there with vehicles. Of course all this hurts the people who can afford prices rising 3-6 months the most.
