Oh, yes, it does, because that's your standard for comparison (what 
year?-a 2007 is $82K).  $70K is still about double the cost of the cars 
to which you're making a judgment.

And, your `86 Celica gets about 22-24 mpg overall.  Don't kid a 
kidder--I was a Toyota factory-trained, master line mechanic in the 
`80s.  I know the technology of that time.

Good cars for the age, but, don't bullshit me.


Cheers.
