What is the most amount of money you would spend on a car?

[nicoleivy5]

0 cents.

I reeeeeeeeally don't see the use for a car for myself. Anything I need to reach is within, at best, an hour of biking, usually within 20-30 minutes.

yeah if your place of work is close no car is needed

Honestly... not more then 15k. Bought a 2007 Pontiac G6 with 68k miles on it 3 years ago, and it's served me well. Got it for 9,300. Not sure if I overpaid or not... but most dealers in my area weren't much lower or higher.

Most of the cars I'm interested in actually owning are in the 12-15k range, so I'd say around 17k to account for accessories.

yeah if thats the cheapest in the area should be fine

As much as possible, how angry and jealous would it make the scrub society?

[dwightyo39]

I probably won't buy a brand new car. I'd rather get a couple year old used rig, and let someone else take the big value hit.

some nice cars are in that range

Got pulled over doing 280+ two times, never even a ticket. Once on a bike, the cop warned me about a bear and a moose on the road ahead. Once in my car, officer commented on how nice it was and obviously its speed, told me to slow down and enjoy my day. Stay mad though

obviously a made up story :3. I wonder when you will end up like Ryan Dunn

Spending a lot of money on a car is stupid. The second you drive it off the lot it depreciates so much.

I would never spend over 20k unless it's a classic or will one day be a classic.

Current truck was $49500. Jewed them down to $46500 and 0% interest on loan. It is mydream truck. In 2 years I'll get another one just like it with 50k less miles

I'm guessing a GMC Sierra Denali? I know trucks aren't cheap, but that's one hell of a price tag.

I'm lucky in this regard. 20 minutes to the campus, maybe 25-30 in bad weather / winters... Exercise is good anyway!

The only use for a car I can see for myself is to have some transportation for the periods when my bike is in repairs. But that happens, maybe, 2-3 days a year, so it's barely worth it.

Just get a spare bike

As I can in no way shape or form predict what inflation will be like and how old I will be when I purchase my last car, an exact dollar amount would be borderline impossible to estimate.

However, I would say that I would not spend more than half of a year's wages on a car, and even then that is pushing it.

yeah but if you are rich, a few hundred thousand would be pocket change so it doesnt matter if it depreciates

[Selastan]

From what I am seeing the average price is 10-15k...How the hell do manufactures sell new cars in this market? Are they all marketing solely to the rich?

You have to consider the demographics of MMO-Champion. While there are a number of us in our 30s and beyond there are also a large potion of younger people that can't go out and pay $20,000+ for a new car. If it takes off maybe there will be some sort of market among the younger folks for the Elio cars? $7300 for a car that gets 84 MPG....but looks ugly as sin.

[Queen of Hamsters]

If I had millions, I'd look at a Bugatti Veyron... and then I'd give to charity, something with animals.
Spending on car to drive with: 4600 euro, tops. My dad got a REALLY nice mercedes for that price which feels more luxurious than most new cars I've been in. I'm not a big car person, but I can appreciate their beauty and the sounds they make.

I would never take a loan to "buy" a new car. Only loan I'll take in my life is for a future house.
