Did i ready 47,000 and change??? Gulp!
We do indeed live in a time of high priced vehicles, especially when you look at top-line versions of anything beyond the compact car class. For me it hit home when I realized that a loaded CRV can easily hit $50,000+.
Vehicles are actually extremely cheap these days, they are at the lowest prices since 1991 in relation to income!! You can get a Lexus for $31,900! My dad paid $59,000 for a loaded 1992 300zx Twin Turbo. His income has doubled since then, and car prices have decreased. For $59,000 you could buy something that would walk circles around the 300zx in terms of performance, reliability, etc...
As far as the whole arguement that the base $31,900 IS250 is not well equipped, I am sure it is better equiped than any 1992 fully loaded ES300. Did those even have keyless entry? Let alone Smart Key.
