This! The ”average” price of a new car was $37k (before the artificial increases due to the chip shortage). A 460hp base GT is what, $42k? I think that’s one hell of a value. Now if you want all the bells and whistles that going to climb quickly but no one if forcing you to spend that.
Yawn. it is a youth car or an empty nester.

A base gt is a unicorn, they might be a thing, but never seen on lots, even in 2019 when I started to entertain getting one, most on the lots were 46-51k .
Gen z can't buy or drive vehicles, cash for clunkers made used cars pricey, and insurance is nuts, for drivers under 25.
right, cause you're an old guy. 100K for a house? Did you buy in 1960? Houses are well north of 300 is many markets. 100k barely buys you a 2 bedroom condo. PLENTY of 300A/301A GT down here in Virginia. My PP1 is a 300A. Quite a few 100A and 101A EB too. In fact it was somewhat rare to find a 20x trim level.
Bought house in 2005
Maybe. When was the last time the cost a decent house was $100k?
Cash for clunkers was before Gen-Z's time. There have always been affordable used cars and insurance for teenagers has always been nuts.
In Boston? 2005? 100K?
still haven't bought a house at 49.
Na, but because Son lives with us, (17y/o)our insurance on our cars jumped as well.
102k needing light updating and interior paint. but 10k of DIY and instant 310k in 2007 before the bubble went pop.
Lived in apartment houses till we made the decision to move to NJ in 95' Rented a townhouse and really liked not having an elevator. Decided I wanted privacy and the ability to walk around my own property. So we made the transition to a private home in 96'. I'm not looking to change anytime in the near future but some of those beachfront condo's in North Myrtle Beach are awfully tempting.
