Well, it could be and sometimes it is. But a lot of price is seasonal in the clothing world, based on the style or popular color of the season or even the time of year (ie, swimsuits and lightweight clothing are in less demand in August than in May, when summer's near over). Whereas, to use your analogy, a Mercedes is a Mercedes all year 'round.
I buy designer-label shirts and slacks at the local discount clothing store for 25 percent of what they originally cost, because they're last-year's style or last-year's color, or the season's over for that kind of clothing and it needs to be unloaded.
