Out of curiosity I went looking to see what the 2023 price is for my car and I'm really scared of how I'd afford a new one. After having two used cars turn into death traps I'm not interested in used cars. Even used cars are expensive now too.

Across the pond in the UK they're expanding ULEZ and this is a major sticking point. You need to upgrade to more fuel efficient cars, right when buying shopping is expensive enough. They want you to get new cars, and the majority cannot aford them.
Buying shopping? What does that mean?
In the UK “the shopping” means food, groceries, and other essentials (although it can mean luxury items too). Giving phrases like “I’ll carry in the shopping” or “I’m going out for the shopping”.
So saying it’s expensive to be buying shopping is saying food, etc. is expensive.
I'm European and I'm disabled so I don't earn a lot. I plan on swapping my 30 years old Opel Corsa with a Yaris sometime in the far future. It'll be the last car I buy. Oh, I hate SUVs.
I hate the trend of everyone driving SUVs. I drive a small sedan and I hate not being able to see around me because everyone is driving big SUVs or trucks.
Plus, I get blinded with their lights because their headlights are shining on my rearview mirror.
