Yesterday

to the dealership to be repaired, I was talking to one of the guys at the repair desk, and he mentioned that he was buying a car and that his payment was $700 a month (and that was with the discounts he got for working there!). My jaw hit the floor. And the monthly payment is even more now!

Edited to add: in many areas, those prices are the down payment on a house!
