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.
