Cognitive Biases in Car Buying

Sunk-Cost Fallacy: Feeling like you need to buy the car because you’ve already spent so much time at the dealership.
Anchoring Bias: Getting stuck on the first price you hear and letting it shape all your other decisions.
Confirmation Bias: Only paying attention to information that supports your desire to buy the car you want.
Availability Heuristic: Basing your decision on a recent story or experience, like a friend’s good or bad deal, rather than the full picture.

This is an issue on some Macs, where that folder /usr/local/bin is not writable by your user account for some reason. Here's how to fix it:
