There’s certainly an element to price, but IMO that only rules out a certain number of folks.

Ferrari is probably the best example.

Anyone who has that kind of money and can afford to buy one can’t just go out and close a deal. Ferrari makes it more exclusive by waitlisting for years, taking into account previous ownership etc, etc … this all plays into making the brand exclusive. They don’t just sell to folks who can drop that kind of money.
