My mom bought an 80-86 in the mid eighties for about $2k. At the time I was impressed when she dropped another $100 for a joystick and a graphics adaptor so I could play Sid Meyer's submarine game.
I can't imagine the sort of system you could get today if you spent $2k on a computer - but it'd be a hellofalot more impressive than that 8086.
I'm guessing cars are similar now that "expensive" and "exotic" subsystems like ABS, fuel injection, and airbags are common enough to be cheap.
Nice feeling plastic doesn't make a car of "quality".
