When was the last time outside of prime time specials and dream car week did one away offer a luxury car regularly?

One Away for an expensive car was, I want to say, at least a monthly occurrence from the late 80s through about 1995.  The game was usually played first when this happened, too.

I've seen playings for cars in the late $20K area as late as Season 25, the latest I've seen a $30K+ car being played for was 1993.

This was also the infamous playing in which the contestant got no numbers right, in 1990.
