Since cost of vehicles (preasumably) were based on their Survivability+Firepower+Special abilities, their costs should be reconsidered after 6ed introduced drastic changes in Survivability, that screwed one vehicles and elevated other (firepower is harder to grasp in general).
My proposition:
Vehicles with 3HP - no cost change;
Vehicles with 2HP - cost -20% (/1.2);
Vehicles with 4HP - cost +20% (*1.2);

First: Doesn't belong in YMDC.
Second: HP change is peanuts as far as game efficiency is concerned. If you want to rebalance the game, start by recosting all Flyers (huge bonuses for minimal penalties and no point increase) and Skimmers (Free smoke launchers without penalty if you move. Compare to 5e's flat-out cover save that mean you could not fire.)

Calculating 20% decrease is not done by dividing with 1.2

It should be Cost*0.8

Greebo had spent an irritating two minutes in that box. Technically, a cat locked in a box may be alive or it may be dead. You never know until you look. In fact, the mere act of opening the box will determine the state of the cat, although in this case there were three determinate states the cat could be in: these being Alive, Dead, and Bloody Furious.

Ok, it's a terrible idea.

Vehicles are either fine or they aren't. Just like anything else. They don't get to be recosted because of edition changes.

"'players must agree how they are going to select their armies, and if any restrictions apply to the number and type of models they can use."

This is an actual rule in the actual rulebook. Quit whining about how you can imagine someone's army touching you in a bad place and play by the actual rules.

When people ask, "What's the point in understanding everything?" they've just disqualified themselves from using questions and should disappear in a puff of paradox. But they don't understand and just continue existing, which are also their only two strategies for life.

You kinda ignored the whole thing about vehicles getting cover saves easier now. And that they aren't stunned/shaken as much now. Survivability is less in some instances. Firepower, however, has increased.
