</div>

it all depends on if my car is considered TT or NA…i like to think of it as a crossbreed…

so since a 1990 NA sticker price was 28,600…and the 2006 inflated value is 44,311…

and since the 1990 TT sticker was 33,000 and the 2006 inflated value is 51,128…

average that out and you have the original cost of the NA/TT mut as 30,800…and the average of the two inflated values is…47,719.50…

i put the 30,800 figure in the box too, and it gave me 47,719.91…damn this thing is consistent…i was hoping i’d find it screwing up and showing inconsistent results with the average i found :tup:

1998 Dodge Dakota R/T Club Cab with the standard R/T stuff (no Infinity system, overhard console, no sunroof or any of that fancy shit which is OK with me!)

the 2006 Dakota R/Ts are about 27 grand sticker as well, but too bad the older ones like mine are a million times better lol.
