Its intent was to point out that purchasing cars is not qualitatively different from purchasing any other thing and that the usual heuristics one uses when buying, say, a computer, apply to buying cars as well.
Purchasing cars often requires haggling. Purchasing computers rarely does.

Computers are more rarely bought used, rarely have hidden problems that can impair their long-term functioning but are not obvious, and when bought used are often not bought for a price high enough that it’s even worth the seller’s effort to deceive you about the status of the computer. Furthermore, computers cam be bought in pieces and cars cannot.
