I think if you want a cammer (for whatever reason), and you can comfortably afford to drop $40k on one, then what may be holding you back is the notion that the cammer will just not hold its value, and may actually cost less next year. It's not a whole lot different than any other expensive hobby. There's something you want, but you don't want to buy it this year if you think it will be worth less next year. Everybody I know is a skittish about the economy, and even the guys that can comfortably afford big ticket items are holding on to their cash just to see how things turn out before they write that check. A couple of weeks ago my wife and I strolled in the Cadillac dealership to take a look at the new 2011 cars. Now this was on a nice Sunday afternoon -- and we were the only customers on the floor. Four salesmen standing around, and we were the only ones there....
