I bought a 1983 Toyota 4wd pickup for I am pretty sure, $7000. Toyota was having a sale and there were I learned later some very large factory incentives. It was pretty basic, AM/FM radio and that was about it.
It proved to be a great little pickup. Tough and inexpensive run.
Adjusted for inflation, I don’t think any pickup now is even close to that price.
If you still had that truck, and if it still ran. You can get $7000 for today. Check out the online ads for used Toyota trucks from 20 and 30 years ago. It is insane.

similar story here, but was an 1981 Datsun pickup ... REALLY, REALLY basic, not even a radio ... I still have it and use it occasionally for small hauling tasks ... less than 80,000 miles on it, body is rusted, but still runs great and some have told me it’s a collector’s item ... when i take it for emissions inspections, older Hispanic gentlemen in the waiting room go nuts over it for some reason ...
