[QUOTE="Rick88LX, post: 12062522, member: 62877"] Start simply with material costs nine years later...then all the incremental increases for everything else and take a guess what an equivalent '03/'04 vintage vehicle would cost? Then consider the increased content that a '13 has over the '03/'04 vehicle. Ford isn't getting rich on these cars. For reference...the tires I bought for my car in '04 now cost 50% more. Consider that everything else is more expensive. Wages, benefits, etc. Bought any copper wire lately? Copper cost was up over 30% about three years ago. The price of fuel is double. See where this is going? Here's another way to look at it...how much was an '03 Z06 vs. a '13 Z06? [/QUOTE]
