How much do you need to earn to buy a 35k car?
Smudgster:
Poverty,
I agree with you. I know someone in that situation, both have very good jobs, stunning house, nice cars but they aint got a bean of surplus cash. I mean you walk in through the front door of the house is like watching Ashes to Ashes :signLOL: :signLOL: :signLOL:
For me theres a fine line. I will be honest and I think I am just the wrong side of it, I mean I have fully refurbed my house inside 5 yrs ago but if Im honest the house needs painting and the facia and guttering needs sorting but I havent got the cash at present to do it. Would I down grade my motors to sort, NOPE!!! I enjoy my cars to much!!! Its all about priorities, but in now way would I have the cars if the house need something as fundemental as a new central heating system etc etc

A car is a big status symbol for a lot of people, perhaps more so than a house because it's mobile. @ Poverty: It's not just the big houses - Look at the expensive cars (Golfs included!) on some of the drives of estates of modern houses which are not much more than low ceilng boxes of tiny rooms which all look the same or very very similar. Often more than one car too.
My home needs a bit of attention but it's comfy and everything works and I'd much rather spend on modding/maintaining my beloved red chariot.

Had you considered that a lot of these people might be leasing these cars? I know a few people, one with an R8 and another with an Aston V8 Vantage N400 who are leasing them. It's much easier to lease a car than get finance or an unsecured loan for one.

just loan the car for a few days. I see a lot of asians who drive around with lambos, ferraris, R8 who just loan them.

i know you dont get any discounts for buying out right in cash nowadays but i see my car as a bit of a safty net , if i loose my job etc i can sell my car and have its value in ready cash :happy2:

....I guess if both parents feel they must both work you'll have nursery fees - But do they really need to both work? Overdo your debt commitments in terms of house and cars etc and you're into having to both work. I ask what kind of mother wants to work? I've had 2 children and never spent a penny on nursery fees - Too many children grow up without enough parental contact in my opinion.
