I recently bought a new car that was less than that, but still in the $20s. I had previously been driving old cars, which was OK, but I had never bought a new car before, so it was nice from that perspective. It also had some features that I wanted and do appreciate. Like Bluetooth, USB audio storage, and various safety features. Excellent fuel economy too. I plan on keeping it 15 years and/or 200K miles, or more, so the amortized cost isn't bad. Given my age, it is likely the only and last new car I'll ever purchase, because I'm sure the driving landscape will be substantially different than it is today.
