Would you pay for a car? I'm not sure I'd be willing to pay as much as a
house for a car, even if I was a wealthy business tycoon. If I had the
money I'd probably spend no more than around £50,000 for a motor, and even
that would be pushing the boat out. It would just depress the hell outta me
to be driving around in something so extravagant. But then, I'm far from
rich so maybe if it came to the crunch I'd go wild and spend a couple of
hundred thousand....How much would you spend? Or how much have you spent?
Don't be shy, this is a public poll, lol. By the way, because I know most
of you work in '$' that's what the options are in....

I'd spend between $10,000 and $20,000 right now (under $12,000 or
$13,000)...Further on in life I'd spend more, but depends on how stuff work
out. If I become a billionaire, I doubt that I would limit how much money I
would spend on some car, but most would be pretty normal, so I could drive
them every day.

Why would I spend a lot of money on a car just so some dumbass could come
and key it or dent it? I would much rather have acreage. If I had money to
waste: A sedan for daily driving, maybe a big truck(International XT

spring weekends, but not until I am a millionaire with acreage:mrgreen: .

Assuming I had the funds, I'd be willing to spend any amount on a car so
long as I didn't go completely broke. If I were Bill Gates, I'd pretty
much spend any amount of money on the right car.

I wouldn't limit myself to how much I would spend. I'm with dvdrose in
that I'd spend a lot of money on my home/property first, but if everything
else more important is taken care of, why not splurge? I'd love to own an
F1 car, so I'm guessing that would set me back for the 50,000 lbs.
However, I'd be more likely to own 20-30 cars that are worth 30K or so on
average. Everytime I go to a car show I say to myself "If I had the money,
that's the car I'd build up" but I say it referring to about 20 different
cars. O could never choose one or two, but if you're rich you don't have
to.
Also, before I dropped 100K+ on a car, I'd call around for price quotes on
having a track paved in my back yard.

Caparo T1
(http://www.motortrend.com/roadtests/convertibles/112_0708_caparo_t1_first_
drive). It's like an F1 car, made by McLaren, and street legal. Costs
$350,000, which I would imagine is a lot cheaper than an F1 car. Just that
it's got terrible build quality. It's injured some people; caught on fire,
the brakes have stopped working, etc. I love the aggressive looks though.
