What's the most you would pay for a car?

[TeTe]

Yeah but that number was originally from the 90's when the tax was first put in place. I think it's like $65k now.

I miss like in 2010 when the Australian dollar was $1.10 US

That's still a fucking joke to tax that much on a car. The worst you have to pay is like 8-10 percent depending on the state you live in here.

I just spent 50k on one of these.

I was supposed to get one, but I was afraid of car thieves. The south shore scumbags love this model. I was then supposed to get a RAV4, but learned south shore scumbags love that model too. I ended up buying a Tiguan last week. It's not a great car, but my wife and I like it. It does the job and can fit my fishing equipment in the back.

So my answer is around 52k.

Haven’t lived in the US in a while but the last time I was there, used car prices were out of control. Can you get a decent Honda or Toyota for 12k now?

No chance in hell. 12k gets you a 150k pile of garbage

It was just blatant protectionism, they wanted to force people into buying Australian made cars by making the other options, stupidly expensive... now it's just about extracting tax dollars.

12k can get you a good used Toyota Corolla

 

[TardStrong]

Car to comnute in $20k

Truck to haul the dirtbikes $35k

 

[TheTickG]

The most I would pay is $12k

Used reliable car, never brand new

17k is the most I ever paid. I'll go with that answer.

 

[NoSmilez]

65k?

 

[Ima5starman]

No chance in hell. 12k gets you a 150k pile of garbage

That’s what I thought

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

If I had the money

 

[Yorick the Wiser]

most I ever paid was for a Shelby Cobra-$80K.

but as far as family cars, anything under $60k is a bargain.

 

[Contempt]

If I had the money

Why would you spend that much money on a car that's about to be replaced with an updated version that's probably going to blow it away in performance?

Pretty much fucked here in the PH, if want a US or Euro nicer ride.
Even the Lexus's get marked up by 40% & they are part of Toyota, which is odd to me.
Have to pay near to over double in most cases.

Might pull the trigger on a new Supra, so, around 65k USD, or so. Unless i won the lotto, that’s my top. Realistically though, probably around 50k. As long as it’s less than half your yearly income, you should be good.

 

[My name is]

I paid 65k for one in 2015 . Probably wouldn't do that again

But you forgot bout.

 

[IDGETKTFO]

Im in the 7-10k range for used. Usually means a car 4-5 years old. But last car i bought was a 2015 that is now 10 years old. It still runs ok for the most part. Hopefully get another 2 years out of it.
With todays economy, i don't know if my price range matches the year anymore.

Because a Porsche 911, if kept becomes an appreciating asset.

Additionally with higher trim 911s it's very easy to time a purchase so that you won't really lose anything.

GT3s and Turbos purchased at 4-7 years old will only minimally depreciate until they begin to appreciate.

Seems like they run closer to 20K nowadays unless you are looking at something 10+ years or with 200K miles on it

Still better than what people shell out for trucks and SUVs just to drive themselves to their office job every day lol
