How much is your car mate ?

[Fr0dders]

How do people handle this question. Do you confidently tell them the true value boastfully ? Aggressively them to **** off and mind their own business ? or be rather British and Awkward about it and talk to the person asking the question, but not really answer the question because talking about money seems too uncouth for you ?

I’ve clearly never had a good enough car, as I’ve never been asked the value on one.
I’ve chatted to enthusiasts before about a car, but that’s different.

I've had people ask about my bike and I just tell them

[doopydug]

LOL - never had a nice enough car for people to ask the question either. However, if I did, I would walk away fast

 

[Diddums]

Go on then, what car is it?

 

[Temujin]

Well the market price is £1500, but I spent about £10k on audio mods so probably about £9k for a quick sale

 

[Stu999]

I overheard that conversation in Newcastle once. The guy just said, “£300k” (new Aventador) and I stifled a laugh as the charvers looked shocked.

 

[VincentHanna]

I just tell them it's leased through work and I got an amazing deal on it.

I've had a few people ask how much the Baja is worth. It's hard to put a value on it really, according to WBAC, I'd be lucky to get a fiver for it.

How much someone is willing to pay, and I'm willing to take to no longer have it.

 

[Diagro]

Someone asked me what my 440i cost me. I said it was 7k. CAT B.

They just said, that's nice. Bargain innit.

Lol.

 

[adam cool dude]

If they require me to answer it for them then our conversation is pointless as if there is one thing I hate more when talking about cars it is to someone who doesn't have a clue.

 

[Nemiyen]

Haha, doh! I missed the pal from my comment! (and Ferrari - but that might be daft if it's a lambo)

I no longer want to talk about it. It's like asking what's your salary. I've had one person get really jealous before and that annoyed me

 

[Mysterae_]

Just say you dunno, it's stolen.

Money (and expensive trinkets like cars and watches) is a very strange thing to get jealous about. I used to think it was just folks taking an interest or just plain curious which I’m fine with. However too many just get plain envious and start sniping. I can’t be arsed with that

 

[koolpc]

I get asked how much the scrappy would give me for it!!!
