I think my parents first house around then was $14k. So I don't know if that was necessarily cheap.

I think the problem with some of the folks keeping the cars is that they aren't thinking out long enough. If you're 40 or 50 and you buy a car thinking that it'll go up in value, you may not be alive or give a darn by the time that it does.
