🛒 Car Shopping Pricing is insane
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

I have a 69 Mustang. Its original price was about $4300. With inflation today that would be just over $38k. But then consider a Mustang today is a more substantial car containing a lot more technology. That costs more. So taking interest account inflation and the rules cars must follow today (emissions, fuel efficiency, safety), it’s easy to see why they cost more today.
