Car to Salary Ratio's

Sone · 5 Jul 2006 at 13:05

If its not too personal just wondering how much your car is worth in relation to salary, less than year / month / week ???

My car's value = 50% of my annual income. But only 25% of my annual income is paying for the car.

I earn what I paid for My RS turbo in 5 weeks, (which isn't impressive). but I have a bike as well (well money sat their waiting for the right bike). The two together will probably be about 30-40%

At the moment my car is worth around the same or a bit less than 1 month of my gross salary.

At the time I bought it, 5 years ago, it was worth around 70% of my annual salary

i could have paid for mine if I had saved my take-home pay for 2.2 months.

SgtTupac · 5 Jul 2006 at 13:16

Car is worth ~10% of my annual salary. Bought it outright.

I spend ~15% of my annual salary on running/maintaining/insuring the car.

Simian · 5 Jul 2006 at 13:34

About 33.3% of my Annual Income (Before Tax!!) not as bad as my last car (thank god) as that was 102% of my Annual Income!... :eek:

(I've since had a Pay Rise and a Smaller Car!!)

Malachy · 5 Jul 2006 at 13:36

i paid about 10% of my annual salary on my car,However i have almost spent that again modding it with the engine conversion

probedb · 5 Jul 2006 at 13:36

Car was bought for around 8-10% of my annual salary...

Modding spending gets into a completely different league
