By price · Order from cheapest to most expensive.

1. A brand-new Toyota Corolla $23K

   With over 50 million sold since 1966, the Corolla is the best-selling car nameplate in history — one has been sold roughly every 30 seconds for decades.

2. The average used car in the United States $27.5K

   During the pandemic chip shortage, some lightly used cars briefly sold for more than their brand-new equivalents — dealers couldn't get new stock.

3. A Ford F-150 Lightning electric pickup $63K

   The F-150 has been America's best-selling vehicle for over four decades — Ford sells one roughly every minute of every day.

4. One F-35A stealth fighter jet $82.5M

   The pilot's helmet alone costs about $400,000 — it lets the pilot effectively see through the aircraft via cameras mounted around the fuselage.

5. The Mercedes 300 SLR Uhlenhaut Coupe, the most expensive car ever sold $142M

   Mercedes had kept both existing cars for nearly 70 years before secretly auctioning one in 2022 — the buyer's identity and the car's location remain closely guarded.

6. Pixar, when Disney bought it $7.4B

   The 2006 deal made Steve Jobs Disney's largest individual shareholder — he had bought Pixar from George Lucas two decades earlier for about $10 million.
