>>28949457>$30,445 in March 2007 is worth approximately $49,372.75 in May 2026.>This represents a total inflation increase of 62.18% since 2007.But the MSRP is actually lower now
>>28949457mid boring as fuck cars now: :^|mid boring as fuck cars 20 years ago: :^O
>>28949469Now post an EcoBoost with a $12k discount.
>>28949486Difference is newslop is 80k oldslop was 20k
>>28949469>>28949489Yeah hate to break it to you but youre retarded if you buy an ecoboost or even a GT at msrp lol, you can easily get a few grand off
>>28949490At least the old stuff was actually something desirable, now you pay extra for some pigfat pos full of gimmicky screens and useless tech. Faster 0-60 times on the spec sheets only go so far.
>>28949498True, those old cars were inexpensive to repair compared to the new slop of today
>>28949498anon, these cars are pigslop compared to the 60s.
>>28949527Anon, stop being a fucking nerd. Yes, it was the era of legit classics, but most of those were deathtraps with bullshit suspension and handling. Some people like different things
>>28949469>$30,445 in March 2007 is worth approximately $49,372.75 in May 2026.LMAO, more like 30k from 2019 is worth 60k today in real world prices of nearly everything except for discount potato chips.
>>28949496Ok, so post an EcoBoost or GT for 12k of msrp.
>>28949457those cars all cost far less today
>>28951041-20% deflation when?
>>28949469inflation is a lie to justify price gouging. did your wages go up? no? then the actual costs of manufacturing didn't change. businesses just got greedier.
>>28951169boomers would rather you starve to death before that happens
>>28951041Friendly reminder that inflation statistics only track consumer goods, and explicitly ignore food, utilities, and rent prices.>>28951238>labor is the only cost in manufacturingMetal is up 50-200%, and carbide tooling has nearly doubled in the last 4 months.
>>28951255again, why do you think the costs for that stuff rises? because, supposedly, the employees doing the mining and refining supposedly need to be paid more. except, their wages haven't gone up either.
