If MB gives away a "free" 20oz pack of jellybeans with their cars and at the same time charge an extra $500, does this equate to extra value?
Why are you fixated on these irrelevant similes? You want to talk about Value! Lets compare the RL to the Accord (yeah, I know the accord is new.....blah, blah, blah). Here are the particulars:
*Prices do not include Navi
So I ask, by this comparison is an RL worth the extra $17,350????? Besides the Xenon lights ($1,000 aftermarket), all the other options that the RL offers that the Accord doesn't must be
"EXCESSIVE OPTIONS"!! :jlammy: So, if you went and bought the Xenon's that would leave a premium of about $16,350 to own an RL. However, as I said before you do pay for intangibles. The definition of which is Something intangible, especially an asset that cannot be perceived by the senses. Often used in the plural: intangibles such as goodwill and dedication. In relation to the RL and the Accord, intangibles would include service, build quality, etc. For example, the RL is quieter on the inside than an Accord. Probably because of better soundproofing. The floor mats and carpeting are of better quality in the RL. These things aren't listed on the sticker or in the literature that markets these cars but it does exist and its intangible, something you can't specifically charge for. Do these "intangibles" equate to $16,350. Probably not. But would an executive drive an RL or an Accord? Probably an RL! You could also do the same type of comparison with the TL and Accord with similar results but less severe.
