Re:Dollar Tree says US$1.25 price point to become new standard by HWR_14 on Tuesday November 23, 2021 @04:35PM (#29323865)
And there are 2006 Chrysler 300s in the Bay Area for under $4 grand a piece on craigslist. As an asking price. The parts seem fairly affordable as well, judging from the parted out ones also on the bay area craiglist.

It's entirely reasonable that poor people have older model luxury cars, either purchased 3rd hand or from when they were better off financially. After all, how much do you think you'd pocket selling your old 2006 [any non-collectable car] if you had to buy something new to drive around.

Yeah. If you want a V8 sedan on a budget Chrysler 300s are a great option (as were the used Ford panther family of cars that preceded them in that market niche).

....which is why they're so stigmatized by the white collar well to do crowd.

They are stigmatized because they are garbage quality FCA vehicles.
