John and Volks:

I had heard the prices on the new EVs were going to be high, but over 30K
US?  That's nuts.  There'd better be a lot of bargaining room built into
that sticker price!  I bought my 93 EV GL, with alloy wheels, new in 94 for
$18K (though the sticker was $23K).  Similarly, my wife's 90 Mitsubishi
Montero cost $16.5K new.  Now the stickers on those are around 40K.  What's
this world coming to? (and FAST!)

93 EV GL
60 Singlecab
29 Model A Ford ($650 US when new, and the Fordor was one of the more
expensive models.  I bought it "used" in while I was in high school for
$300).
