According to this website, the average total price paid for a new car is
$31500.
https://www.concannonbc.com/how-much-does-a-typical-american-actually-pay-for-a-car/
That average includes luxury models so I suspect the median price is
somewhat lower. Either way, I would consider 46K substantially higher,
meaning high priced for the average buyer of a new car.
