$27,500 for a brand new 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer on Christmas Eve 2004. This was a couple of years after I graduated college. I still drive it, and I still remember paying $532.20 a month for it for five years. I haven’t had a vehicle payment in over ten years.

Looked into it, but the tires aren’t cheep on a 16 x 16 all wheel drive vehicle, being able to tow a space shuttle up Mount Everest is kinda cool though.

32k, but 10k of it came from insurance totaling my previous vehicle.
I will say this, im never buying a new car ever again. Well unless somehow i win the lottery and need to spend the money before I die. Outside of that it's a total waste of money.

To answer the OP, it was around 55k. I don't remember the exact amount, it's a Lincoln Aviator and we enjoy it.
I drive a 10 year old Jeep that I paid 25k for, won't upgrade it until there is a decent supply of the new Broncos, so probably in a couple years.

Agreed.
Most of us are willing to overspend (when necessary) for something we really want, whether it’s a brand new car or an expensive steak. Life would be pretty boring if you didn’t splurge on something here and there.

27k on a 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT.
Still to this date that's the most I've ever spent on a vehicle.

$27k. Only spent that much because I bought new instead of the expensive used stuff
Same. $27k a couple years ago on a new vehicle that was the previous year's edition still on the lot. Paid in full, though!

Well... I just bought a Ferrari. I won’t say how much because that would be bragging ..

Dropped $64k out the door on a 2017 Shelby GT350.
Traded it for an M340 in January. $10k difference.
If I have garage space, I'd buy another used GT350. It's just not an everyday driver.

The Ferrari has a personalized license plate that reads, "IMPOOR" and every time I see it I just think, what an a-hole but I'm jealous of that a-hole

Because of the depreciation hit you take the moment you drive off the lot. Vehicles are horrible investments, vehicle.

45k for a F150 KR in 2013. Just passed 160k on it and hoping to get over 200k.
