I’ll bite.

A family friend bought a new Toyota Land Cruiser for $80,000+. He also had bought one new years ago-for $3,300.

A lot is inflation. Not all.

You couldn’t get a new Land Cruiser from Toyota since the early 70’s for $3,300.

Nice try.

They share a name, but they are as different as a Wrangler is from a Grand Cherokee.
