15k
Until I am at the point where I literally don't have to work a day in my life that I don't want to, I won't spend any significant amount of money on a liability.

Is this an OT troll? You can't get many nice vehicles for that price. You can get a decent used one probably, but hope you don't have high hopes for it.
Plus, this is the OT, anything less that $100k is trashy.

$350k

It annoys me to spend a lot on cars. They're just not my thing, so I'm fine with basic function. $22k is the highest I've gone. I find plenty of frivolous ways to spend money, but I can't bring myself to spend it on something I'm not into.

Just seems like a terrible investment to spend money on something that depreciates so quickly.
Cars aren't investments.

In all honesty, it would depend on the type of vehicle. I would spend more on a pick-up that will last more than a decade.
Posted on 4/17/17 at 4:22 pm to Eli Goldfinger
I have no limit.

So you have actually spent $24K on personal vehicles for yourself.

I really don't care what you drive or want to spend. I don't care that your wife only makes 24K a year as an Architect.
Posted on 4/17/17 at 4:23 pm to Eli Goldfinger
35-40k maximum.

I have a 100 mile round trip work commute. The Ford is too hard on gas.

Guys who make $35-$40K driving newer 3/4 ton pickups and such.
I love this.

You're either buying salvaged vehicles or getting vehicles at WELL below market value. That 2010 F150 4x4 w/ 90k would sell for $16-18k today in all likelihood. If I were getting those kind of deals, then I wouldn't spend much on a vehicle either.

How much gas could you buy with the extra payment, as well as insurance and maintenance money for the other vehicle?
Posted on 4/17/17 at 4:27 pm to Eli Goldfinger
$28,684

It's maddening to me.
Another thing that's nuts is how much these guys who are nearly broke will spend on their bass boats.
Posted on 4/17/17 at 4:28 pm to Eli Goldfinger
20k. No way in hell will I pay more. It's metal, plastic and in some cases cheap leather. There's not an additional 10k in value for me

I guess it's about that time for the bi-weekly "I make a lot of money and only buy cheap used cars" thread.
You people are like crossfitters. Not a car thread goes by without a few of them bragging about making bank while driving a 10 year old econobox like it's some kind of achievement to not drive a nicer vehicle.

Dude, you don't have to pay it all at once. They can set it up where you only pay a little bit every month and it's like getting a car for next to nothing!! It's pretty sweet.
