No, you'd buy it because all of a sudden the camry was 2k more than the impala, or whatever. The average person probably doesnt even know the dollar is weak right now, they just know that the impala is cheaper. (I'm just using two cars as an example that i figured were close in cost and features)
YOU as an informed person know the dollar as weak, but also already know that you want a bmw instead of an H-D. And more specifically, I guess I was talking more about perishables and throw-away things, than large purchases like a car or truck.
