The baseline utility of a car is that it transports you to and from a job, errands and leisure activities. A $9,000 2021 "1990" Mustang would do that rather well, and the other safety/quality improvements probably aren't worth almost $20k to most people, especially given that most people consider themselves above average drivers. $9,000 for a used car gets you the safety improvements, but perhaps not the new car reliability, even adjusting for 30 years of quality improvements. I think it would sell rather well so long as it had Bluetooth.
