- phtrivier 3y ago> 20,000 USD is objectively cheap for any car. I realize I don't have any real data point, so let's digg in. At current exchange rate, $20000 is 18000€. I checked the 3 most sold cars for last year in France [1], and the listed price range from 12k€ to 16k€. So, it's not obvious that a 18k€ car is "cheap" - but it's just a napkin computation. I'm surprised to learn that each model accounts for a pretty small percentage of the total sales, around 5% each. I would have expected more for at least the top salers. If we wanted to get a real sense of what "cheap" means, what would make more sense in your opinion ? - A simple "average" of the prices ? - A weighted average of the prices, taking the percentage of sales into account ? Also, in the distribution, do you define "cheap" as "the lower half" ? "the last decile" ?
