Spec my dad a new car - £60,000

You must have lived in some tips before if your 10% metric is typical based on his car history, do you eat from bins? :D
 
£60k 4x4 = 5.0 V10 TDI VW Tourag Altitude, because of the engine...though due to the badge, I'd chose the Audi Q7 instead!

Try and persudade him to get an E60 M5, they're so easy and effortless for slow city driving and good fun once out in open :cool:
 
i bet the second after he buys the convertible he'll be shagging the maid. as someone said, it screams mid-life crisis.

why doesn't he just save his money and put it towards a lambo?
 
I love how his son has decided the percentage to which the car should cost from new house his fathers just forked out on.

"Daddy, I've been doing the sums and I've decided that your annual spend for the new car I want you to have must amount to an approximation of 10% of that to which you've spent on accommodation."

What a **** (male chicken)
 
Wierd thread.

As been said, I wouldn't be spending 60k on a car if I had to worry about the running costs.

I knew this thread would deliver the second I read the title and first line of the post. Good show! :p
 
well my dad has just been awarded a large sum from a court case he has won, he has been fighting this court case for a very long time, approximately 10 years, for this court case he had a team of lawyers, his QC gets paid £600 an hour, i dont know how much the others get paid, but his legal fees for the court case has ran well over £100,000 (i wont go near the real figure since the forum is full of morons)

so for the past 10 years he hasnt had all the money he would normally have, so we had to move home to a much smaller home, but still in a very affluent area, he also had to do with much cheaper cars, Volkswagon Golf TDi, Merc C Class, but he always boguht them brand new

the reason why he has a few vans is because he's self employed, we own many business's

anyway since we have got enough money now, we will be moving back into a similarly sized home as the one we used to live in, and after that would now like to own a luxury car, my dad has always wanted a convertible or a 4x4, we already have a Merc C class and a golf these are new cars still

so the consensus is the 6 series or the range rover sport, both which were on his shortlist anyway, i still reckon the audi Q7 is worth a buy too

as for the whole lamborghini thing, most of the money we have won will we invested into current business's or new ones, so im sure he will be able to afford it, within the next 5-10 years, but i doubt he will buy one since it aint exactly economical for him

anyway the usual idiots of this forum were unfunny as usual

as for the 10% comments, thats what the general consenus normally is, your home should cost 10 times your yearly salary and your car should cost 1 years salary

if you were to work from that my dad would earn roughly £60,000 a year but he wont be earning that much this year, roughly 2.45 million from what ive heard, only £450,000 is from the court case


taken out court details

since my dad is a businessman he tends to make sensible decisions, if he wants a diesel hell i aint gonna argue with him, its his money, if you would do it differently thats fine, but i dont really care, all i asked for was help with a decision going to be made within the next couple of months, instead most of the posts thought they would try and be funny, i dont really care if my family has more money than you do, i work for everything i own, the only time i ever recieve money from my dad is when its my birthday or christmas, i am grateful to be in a position where i can take over the family business's when i finish university

anyway an admin can lock this thread now, its done, probably gonna go with the range rover sport

It should? :confused: Are these unwritten rules of life or something that everyone should know about?

it was published somewhere, i cant remember exactly where i read it, but it is true, your home should be 10 times your wage and your car should cost 10% of that, obviously it isnt a law and for all means you can knock yourself out and live ina £100,000 home and buy a bentley, but its up to you, when it was published it had all sorts of other facts, of how much you should spend on other items as well, as i say this isnt a law so you feel free to spend whatever you want, its your money

It sounds like a load of crap to me, I bet less than 10% of people earning £40k a car actually own a £40k car.
