Good points! Prices go up and down, but generally speaking the cost of cars has come down. The used car price has gone up recently. I wonder how that compares with 30 years ago.

Of course it also depends on how you measure inflation. What a person's actual wages is a big factor too.

The Mirage is getting axed though. However, the Nissan Versa is similar in price. But the Nissan Versa will be the last sub $20k car in the USA since the Kia Rio is also being axed. I hope the Versa isn't axed too any time soon.
