Price Comparison 1989 vs 2025

Inflation has significantly impacted car prices from 1989 to now. To give you an idea, let's consider the average price of a new car in 1989 and compare it to today's prices.

In 1989, the average price of a new car in the UK was around **£10,000**. Adjusting for inflation, this amount would be equivalent to approximately **£27,742** today. However, the actual average price of a new car today is around **£27,219**. This indicates that while car prices have increased, they have risen slightly less than the rate of inflation over the past 35 years.

It's also worth noting that modern cars come with many more features, better performance, and improved safety compared to cars from 1989. So, while the prices have increased, the value and quality of the cars have also improved significantly.
