Cars, including used cars, are much more expensive than they used to be even 10 years ago. Much more.
Not only did C for C take used parts off the market they also cleared out a lot of older used cars. Why sell your servicable used car for $2000 when the feds would give you 4?
Then you've got government making everything more expensive in other ways too generally in the name of goodness and light. Our water department is raising rates, gas is going up, clean and healthy means more expensive for sure...
As a percentage of income these wonderful things always, always effect the poor the most.
