What time period are you using? I bought a Toyota in 2007 and replaced
it in 2011 after an unfortunate encounter with a snow plow. The second
was a few thousand more even after subtracting the cost of the radio the
first one was lacking.

On a longer time frame, the equivalent of a $2000 1957 Chevrolet 210
would put you up in the mid-20's today.
