For comparison my first new car was a 1975 Camaro 350 4 barrel 4 speed for $5,250......I only made $100 per week at that time!
And a new 75 Corvette could be had for around $7,500!
according to info online my Pace Car was around $10,000 new (may have been higher than average at that time cause it's a limited supply) - in 1990 I bought 5.0 notch for $13,500 not much increase from 1979 - I do remember the late 80's Cobra's and vert starting I think around $17,000 - sometime in the 90's car prices began to spiral upwards out of control (imo) - I do remember in the late 80's Ford putting together to 5.0 notch package to try a sell cars. My wife's 2015 Caravan (and we've owned many) was 26,000 cash which really has not changed too much I believe over the last twenty years. I can justify the cost if it last 10 years 2600/year ownership - with any luck Ford will have a big sale next year....lol then maybe just maybe....
It could be worse, it could be a Camaro

I’m not denying it’s a great car and great value, but you made it sound like it was inexpensive. It’s still a fun car, but it’s no longer a cheap car. The premise of this thread was the declining sales numbers. The hypothesis is that it is directly proportional to the increased cost.

yes they are competitively priced but way out of my budget - if you look the graph there's a big drop off starting in 2008 to present. it may be safe to say that's due to pricing not flooded market - that's ten years of lost sales - it would be interesting to see what other brands are doing - I know comparing my minivan to a mustang is like apples and oranges but the 2015 caravan is ten time's the 2003 caravan was with very little price increase. That being said maybe after ten years of losing sales there may be a buying increase....
