...and before Clinton.
In 1992 I bought a new 4-door F-350 FORD diesel dually with everything they had on it for just $21,150 cash and that included Tags, tax and extended warranty.
I can't afford one now though.
I read an article many years ago about the cost of vehicles. The premise was that the cost of vehicles skyrocketed when people were allowed to finance them. That and nothing more changed the prices of vehicles instantly. The same was true with farm equipment.
