I personally don't. I wasn't even born when you bought your 77. I didn't know a single person as a teenager who bought their own brand new car, of any type. Few even owned a car, mostly just borrowing from Mom & Dad.
As for your prices, adjusted for inflation ...
5,100 in 1977 = 20,000
12,000 in 1981 = 31,500
7,700 in 78 = 28,200
Now, there aren't too many teenagers earning enough these days to buy a 30ish thousand dollar car. Even 20 grand would be a pipe dream for most anymore. Gotta save for college/university & hope you don't get crushed by debt upon graduation.
