What percentage of your wage do put towards motoring?

[Simon]

150% on fuel

 

[Will Gill]

about 10%, more if I actually ever drive it, not moved in weeks now, the joys of having other peoples cars to use instead

 

[GhostWKD]

But I have factored in the loan payments as a sort of depreciating savings method as the more "equity" I get the car the more I have towards a house deposit while getting to enjoy having a decent car while I can.

Man maths at its finest

 

[SC0TTRS]

Probably 10% a year not factoring mods/upgrades.
Do 90% maintenance myself.

 

[Jacksonn]

10-15% I'd assume.I think that's acceptable. Spend more on gym stuff ha.

 

[Havana_UK]

19% on two cars, but not factoring in any equity in them.

 

[Cleisthenes]

About 25%, that includes paying it off to a family member (I'm paying it off quickly rather than over numerous years).

 

[fergie128]

2 cars in the household, 20% of our total net pay. That covers absolutely everything, we both use them to commute to work, tax, insurance, fuel etc.

And thats me paying for a brand new XF

 

[ultralaser]

3.7% but feels like a lot more, most of it is insurance :/

 

[Maccapacca]

Whatever the tax is on a company owned van and fuel. The purchase and running costs are on the company.

 

[Irish_Tom]

A lot less than in 2013 - money in has gone up, miles have gone down, still got the same two cars.

 

[RSR]

I'd say about 5-10% more or less.

 

[VTR]

2008 630i Convertible

Roughly -

Fuel 200
Maintenance 100
Car Tax 25
Insurance 20
Depreciation 100

<18% net

 

[HangTime]

Roughly 4% of household income but doesn't include initial outlay so a bit flawed in terms of comparisons with people paying on short term finance agreements etc.

Edit: For comparison my train ticket costs well over double annual motoring costs!

 

[Housey]

About 5% based on annual income across all our cars.

 

[Diagro]

£1390 in fuel per year
Approx £1300 in repairs.
£230 for tyres.
Insurance is £250.
Tax £165
So approx £3.5k over past 12 months.

Not bad.
That's about 17% of this year's take home after tax

 

[ChrisD.]

I do 155 miles a day, currently spend around 6-8% of what I take home on my Focus. It was paid for with cash so no finance etc outstanding.

Dread to think what the DC5 is but that's just a toy.
