I get what you're saying but wages didn't increase 90% in that same timeframe which is where the problem lies.Checking on previous years, 06 Premium GT's with options were around mid 30's. Not saying you didnt get your's for under 30k, just saying these were the prices before the deals/rebates set it which for the most part are non-existent nowadays or not as good.
Going back to 1990 vs 2006, 16 years later, thats practically a 80-90% increase. Going back 2006 to now 2023, 17 years later, also about 90% increase. Sounds about right.
