Dark, woolen topcoats were popular just then with teenagers , but could cost several hundred dollars new.

Could I ask whether the underlined "new" is used gramatically correct? Or is it in agreement with a native way of expressing.

It could cost a hundred dollars new.

I think it would be better to say "A new one could cost a hundred dollars"?
Am I right?


Thanks

Both ways are okay.
