Even used cars cost a fucking fortune right now. I saw a PT cruiser the other day with $9500 on the window. What the fuck

Still can't beat the $2000 shitbox Civic that suddenly isn't a shitbox after you put $500 worth of parts into it.

Enjoy your $5000 Civic you made with $2500.

I saw a 2019 Chevy Spark the other day with 80,000km priced a couple hundred bucks under MSRP, it's insane trying to buy used right now.
