Are cars as affordable as they were in the past? Interesting read

I was surprised a bit by the comparisons and how some cars base prices are actually way cheaper now than 10-20 years ago.

Would be interesting to see charts like that for used cars. It seems like used cars aren't as affordable as they were 12-15 years ago, but that could be because of the increased quality in cars since then. 80's and 90's cars were made like shit compared to the last 10 years. LOL

Doubly interesting in what you get for that money. Cars in the 80's were low-performing boxes. Now you get airbags, nav, power everything along with more power and a better ride, all for similar money when adjusted for inflation. Pretty impressive.
