Are we getting more for our money??

I'm going to be cryptic here, those that know what I am taking about will agree and others will disagree.

The peak of sensible automotive engineering and reliability was from the mid 70's to the mid 80's. These particular cars gave those that could afford it more for their money in return overtime and the same goes for those who bought good kept used examples. This particular brand was one of and maybe is the first to have a 6 digit(not including 10ths) odometer. Now they make overpriced junk that looses value faster than left out raw chicken.
