Well, I think that’s pretty definitive. Six people ranked an adjustment first, and everyone else save for Edsel ranked it as their second.
You’ll get a 7% compounding adjustment for inflation, applied annually and rounded up to the next hundredth. This means that:
- Premium cars pay 2.80 years of annual fees.
- City cars pay 4.35 years of annual fees.
- Luxury and offroad cars pay 5.05 years of annual fees.
- Sports cars pay 5.69 years of annual fees.
- Super, family and utility cars pay 7.38 years of annual fees.
Given that this makes several segments cheaper, I will be adjusting the upper and lower budgets for some classes and also broadening the cost windows slightly:
- City: No change
- Family: Reduced to 33-40 thousand.
- Premium: No change
- Luxury: No change
- Sports: Reduced to 30-38 thousand
- Super: Reduced to 60 thousand or more
- Offroad: Reduced to 27-33 thousand
- Utility: Reduced to 40-48 thousand
(And no, this doesn’t mean Araga has 7% inflation, it means that the combination of inflation, wage growth and perceptions discount it by that much)
