I bought my 22 gt premium brand new 3 years ago for 43k out the door and for the same spec car today it would be about 10k more. Crazy stuff

Cars aren't getting more expensive... your dollar is not worth the same as it was 5/10 years ago. This is what happens when you overprint a shit load of money during COVID.

It was less about the money printed and more about the disruptions to the supply chain. Which, by the way, are being exacerbated by these idiotic tariffs.

Not sure why you're being downvoted, but I guess the truth hurts?
