You can buy cheap used car. A 5 years old used car today will be nicer, more convenient, safer and more reliable than new Civic in 1985.

  But now you are playing the lottery.

    Not any more than buying a new car in 1980s, especially American-made one.

      i had an 85 Honda CRX SI. cost me $12500. Got 45m/g. Lasted 250,000m, and still ran fine, but traded it in. I can't afford a Honda today.

        $12500 in 1985 is $35000 today. That's more expensive than MSRP of highest trim of 2022 Honda Civic, which is a better car than any 1985 Honda.

          my salary hasn't increased 3 times in that time period.
