If in the year 2000 I purchased an item for $28,500 then in 2011 the same item would cost $37,494.38.

Makes sense to me.

This guy is the most right. Cars have basically kept pace with inflation since the late 70's. Now if you were comparing say 1969 to now then yes the value of the dollar is far lower. Ex a 69 Camaro SS for $3,800 new is only $23k today.
