I make well over 100k per year and just bought a $2k car last week (1997 opel astra). I got fed up taking the bus! lol

If I sold them they might all be under 10K but I have 3 cars so does that still count? 2001 camaro, 2006 mustang and 2005 chevy truck. mustang is probably more then 10K but they are not worth much anyway.

What happened to the XJS?

:1orglaugh

"anyone here earning more than $100k per year and driving a car worth less than $10k?"


The smart one's do:2 cents:

we have a great car but i choose to drive our $400 Fiat Punto every day does that count

cars are alot more here (canada) than the US
Not sure about regular cars but nicer cars like
bmw, mercedes , Porsche .....
The worst part about it , is the USD now almost on PAR
with CND dollars the prices of cars remain the same .
So like a Porsche Cayanne S in USD sell for 65-70k new there
its like 80K here in Canada . Then u add on all the mumbo jumbo upsells
and taxes its well over 100k . :( Sucks

LOL you better have another side job then

Good for you! Smart to put your money where it really earns for you. You had more dedication then most taking the bus though!

was up until about 6 months ago, had a 1996 audi a4, sold it for about $2500 :/

I drive a 93 toyota avalon that i think its worth 6500. Its paid off and just keeps kicking so I dont see a reason to get a flashy car. Plus there are so many other things to spend money on that are way more important. :)

There's no point in being buried in a casket lined with 100 dollar bills.

You guys who mention Gates,Buffet and the ultra rich. They own cars they like,but they also own Limo's and get driven.

They could also fly commercial and really save the $$$. But they own incredible private jets.

Amen to that :thumbsup

i dont even have a car lol

YOU are the prime example of excessive spending though, although you probably wouldn't agree that such term even exists.

Then again I don't know you at all - I know you are an oldtimer in this biz and you must be really very succesfull.

So if you are making like $3 Million each year then sure thing, you can afford to buy a new Lambo each year with absolutely no problems.

This thread wasn't really about people like you though.

until recently, I used to have a 95 chevy full size cargo van that I loved driving. I did drive it into the ground sort of,just needed way too much work,so I reluctantly sold it this spring.:( Yes I do have some bling machines as well:winkwink:

I earn more than 100k and drive a 15k truck and 5k Jeep...but I bought them both with cash

My car is booked at like 8k I think, and I will probably hang on to it for awhile.

How many people have posted in this thread drive shitty cars and don't make 100k?

yup, I drive a 2004 Mustang. Not for long though, I'll be upgrading to an M3 next year.

good thread...my 1st car was a 1985 chevy caprice (box) bought it for 1,000 bucks, i was 15 years old...10 years later and a few more hoopties after that..i just bought the SL500

still have my 98 dodge 1/2 ton truck as a 2nd vechicle

I have a 2002 F150 Shortbed sport. It is an extended cab lightening. Nice ride, and worth about 17k.

Anyone paying themselves 100k+ from adult business and then buys a car with cash is either very stupid or never sees the tax man.

me i drive my honda sometimes...its less then 10k

but only when the wife takes the 530i

bump.........

Sold the Hummer H2 before I came back to Holland....
Sold the Jaguar 2 months after I arrived in Holland because it was a right
hand drive car which just wasn't worth to get on Dutch license plates.....
and it sucks to drive in Holland with a right hand drive car.

The Harley stayed though......all though I'm rebuilding that one so it's not
drivable at the moment lol.....I'm gonna move back to Barcelona Spain next
year.....then I'll spoil myself with a new car......not sure what yet. Probably
an Audi S4 as I might get away selling that to the wife as being a family car
:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

dont even have a car at the moment !

Nahhh... NOT BROKE.. Just 'between vehicles' as im in the UK
In the USA I have a Mustang
:)

I have a 1995 Volvo with 250,000 miles on it that runs great which cost me $1,500 a few years ago. My second car is a 2007 Pontiac Grand Prix that I got for $15k last year.

I just don't care what I drive. Cars are the worst investment you can have.

That's the truth. My Nav is worth a little over a quarter of what I paid for it (and that's buying it outright, I can't imagine if I had gone with payments). My other car is a classic, the plan was never to flip it to turn a profit, but man, what a money pit. I'm on my 3rd engine. Can't bring myself to get rid of the beast. :Oh crap

Also on the cheap end, I think the Suzuki Aerio is a fun car. It's my perfered rental car of choice :thumbsup

I used to take one out every time I went to vegas, but lately I've been having trouble finding them.

i drive a 2000 bmw 323 ... its worth less than $10k though

Why do people equate the car you drive with your income?

I drove a three year old Ford Focus up until Xmas, then changed it for another Ford focus. It gets me from A to B in comfort and the most important thing is what's playing on the stereo.
