You can finance expensive cars too – does that make them any less of a status symbol?

Financing doesn't make anything cheaper relative to its alternatives (given that they can also be financed).

If you can't see the huge difference between "you can pay $1500+/month to own an expensive car" and "you can pay $30/month to own an iPhone" in terms of accessibility, then I'm not sure what to say.
