For, example, when you look at a 2500 GMC in 2003 at well under $30k, and then look at the COLA since that time frame, about 12.8% combined, we see a price increase in fact of over 28%% combined, makes you wonder about value for the bucks.
Ya know what? I just looked, and either your math is off or I'm missing some important detail.
$30,000.00 in 2003 is $38,000.00 in 2013 dollars, according to the adjust-for-inflation calculator
at this link.
MSRP's for the 2014 (one year newer than 2013) GMC 2500 PU begins at $32,000.
LinkEven assuming that folks'll want a bunch of upcharge bells and whistles, I don't see the huge out of bounds increases you seem to.
What am I missing?
