$25K car is a "budget" car these days? Hehe :-)

 New car, just like how the conversation was originally about new PCs.
  And yes, 'budget' in the context of new car prices, since Edmunds' 3Q24 report found that the average new car in the USA cost $47,542.
 And FYI, average used car price was $27,177.
 

The last car I bought is a Toyota Echo 2002, in 2017, for $1600.

 Bully for you.  Did it include a radio?  My first car didn't.

 From today's craigslist:

2009 Toyota Yaris. A nice used car for just $1500. Right there about 20 minutes drive from me to go get it. If I had any serious problem with my Echo 2002, I would jump on this one.
A used car is worth, and priced, between $1500 to $2000. Anything above that is a rip off. A computer is worth between $70 and $80.
And at the bottom of it, ANY car above $2000 and ANY computer above $80 is a rip off. New or used. That's my main point. You guys have bad habits. You're like those psycho Shoe freaks. Or those who lose their savings buying stocks that aren't worth what they're paying for. You don't know what you're doing, and others smarter than you, or rather are simply healthy in mind, are taking advantage of that.
In how many different ways have I pointed to this fact? Blows my mind.
