Prices in 1988

first price is 1988 MSRP

GT-S
$12,478
$23,908.08 adjusted for inflation in 2012

Corolla LE
$10,248
$19,635.36 adjusted for inflation in 2012
($18,670 2012 MSRP)
95% of 1988 price

Camry base
$11,248
$21,551.38 adjusted for inflation in 2012
(2012 $22,715 MSRP)
105% of MSRP (but auto is standard in 2012, was optional in 1988)

Camry V6 auto top model
$16,148
$30,939.87 adjusted for inflation in 2012
(2012 $30,605 MSRP)
99% of 1988 price

considering Scion has a "Pure Price" policy, they can price lower because they don't have to factor in people haggling from an invoice price.

It could easily be $23-24k
