What was the cost of a new car in 1919?

There's no single answer to the cost of a new car in 1919. The price varied wildly depending on the make, model, and features. However, a general range would be between $500 and $3,000.

A basic Ford Model T, which was very popular and considered relatively affordable, could be purchased at the lower end of that range. More luxurious and higher-performance cars would have cost considerably more. Remember that $3,000 in 1919 had significantly greater purchasing power than $3,000 today.
