    Just buy a car you can afford and you won't have a problem, there are still new cars with $17,000 price tags.

    There were actually more Americans with multiple jobs under the former president than there are now. I guess that also means that they bolstered Trump's job figures including his claims back in 2018 and 2019 of near record low unemployment.

    Per Bankrate.com as of September ... A 660+ on a new car doesn't seem that bad.

    Yep, no matter how you slice it, it costs a LOT more to live these days than it did from 2017 through 2020.

    Any particular reason you pick those years? You could back to argue that 1995 was less expensive than 2017
