> because inflation plays a significant role here

A new, average midsize new car in 1985 was approximately $11,000. (~$30,500 after inflation).

A new, average midsize sedan is now approximately $31,886.

In 1927 Model A Ford in the Town Car configuration was $1400-- this is like $24,000 now, but of course, it's a lot less car than a modern midsize.

IMO, car pricing hasn't changed much.




Today’s car is safer, more fuel efficient and more capable as well.
