Econonomics - Supply and demand. This sort of thing is demand-driven, not cost driven (to a point). They can only do so many a year, as long as they have a backlog they can raise the price. If they stop selling (or someone else floods the market with "re-manufactured" cars for less money), the price will stabilize or go down. If demand price goes below cost, they stop building them.
