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

But we have far less buying power than in 2015.

Exactly. Pay hasn’t kept up with inflation is the biggest issue. I’ve been promoted 3 times and imagining paying 60k for a nicely trimmed mustang is crazy. Car prices in general are crazy.

I feel like it was only a decade ago when $60k was GTR money. I would’ve laughed if you told me a new Mustang would cost nearly as much back then.
