It depends on the make and model. in 78 you could get a Cadillac
De Ville for $10,000 and a Nova for $3,500. You could get a Ford
Future for $4,000 and a Lincoln Continental for $12,000. Chargers
ran about $5,500 and New Yorkers were $7,800.
As your older brother, I've been where you are—maybe not exactly, but close enough.

Oh, dude, in 1978, the average cost of a new car was around $5,500. But like, who even cares about that now? I mean, you can barely get a decent used car for that price today. So, yeah, that's the scoop on 1978 car prices.
