I don't earn much and I've done mine up myself so it's about 20%

Hate · 5 Jul 2006 at 14:01

before tax, about 30%

DreXeL · 5 Jul 2006 at 14:01

My car's worth about 25%.

Burbleflop · 5 Jul 2006 at 14:04

At the time I bought my car it was about 80% of my annual salary. If I were to buy the same car now for the same price as I did in 2002, then it would be about 40%.

keef · 5 Jul 2006 at 14:04

mine is worth a bit less than about half my salary, car =11k salary=about 27k depending on overtime.
most expensive car i have had though and i wont be buying another one at that much money!

Car cost me 4.75% of salary (bought outright)
Costs me 0.625% to insure it and about 1% to service it

Bike cost me 2% of salary to buy and 0.3% to insure (and does over 100mpg)

I like cheap, reliable motoring. Never had a thing go wrong on either so far

AndrewP · 5 Jul 2006 at 14:14

When I bought it 18 months ago - 19.3%
Now - 10%

Freefaller · 5 Jul 2006 at 14:15

At the time of purchase my car was probably worth around 20% of my salary. But the mods I have done to it amount to probably around just under 10% of my salary. :eek:

Scary really...

Volvo S60 T5 SE and it cost about 10% of my annual salary.

Nozzer · 5 Jul 2006 at 14:16

Heh, the Elise was about 30% of my annual salary. The Audi, perhaps 15-20%.

Together, almost 50% :eek:

if it is anything like my old t5 (850) then about another 20-30% in fuel?

That's about right, I get about 28 to the gallon if I'm lucky

I probably do less than 6k a year so it doesn't set me back too much.

Yeah, but it was an 850 so you always had two dogs, some bricks, a picnic blanket and various power tools in the back didn't you?

Just worked out the running costs and I think it's about 1% a year or 1.5% including insurance.
