I hate to sound like the old guy but I seriously remember when I started driving when kids in high school legitimately bought some used cars for a few hundred bucks. Sure they were usually flawed and on their last legs but they were still drivable and perfectly acceptable for a high school kid.

Hell there were some pretty nice used cars for a couple thousand. My first vehicle when I got home from the Navy was a used truck. it had 34,000 miles on it and was used by an old farmer. It was in great shape and I bought it for $5,000.

I only bought new vehicles after that but that used truck I bought treated me great for years and when I sold it to a family friend it treated them great for many years too. I sold it for $1,500.

It blows my mind what has happened to vehicle prices. Used and new.
