About 20% more than I spend on housing but I'm going to be selling my truck this year so it will come way down.
>>
Including insurance 15% of my monthly take home pay but I live rent free in my parents old house.
>>
$555 including insurance

Enough to make me want to cry. Not that I have to though, I'm trying to pay it off as fast as I can.

Enjoy being broke by 50
>>
>>17058281
how's that
>>
>>17058302
it's an insane amount to pay for a car. Even rent should only be 30%
>>
$40+$50 insurance on the two cars. Plus probably $30 for fuel and $20 for general repairs.

So 2% or so.
>>
>>17058313
my rent is $100/month right now. I rent out a condo and have roommates. I also live with my gf of 3 years who makes 3x more money than me.
>>
>>17058329
so you make $7000/month take home and drive an '81 honda?

why

Because why not? And it's a 1991 Nissan

>trailer park ferrari dream

hahaha, nice

I actually live in a nice rural area away from mexicans and niggers outside Sun City, Arizona. The rent is 1050, but worth more than that. It's a long story but I know the owner and so I got a good price to rent the place.
>>
>>17058400
If you don't care, I don't care.

I just know that if I were making that much money I'd be driving my dream car.
>>
42% - as the full price
>taking a loan for a car
ishygddt
>>
>>17058412
Heh just because you make money doesn't mean you should just buy all the toys you want.
I am little over 600k and I am not going to spend money on my dream car.
Going to wait few years for fun daily, I just can't see myself spending lots of money on cars
>>
>>17058412
What's your dream car? I get a little anxious driving expensive cars around. A beater is liberating.
>>
>>17058452
nothing really expensive, just the T/A 392.
>>
~0%

I'm too lazy to do much work on it, so I don't buy parts often.

>>17058412

> $5000/month
> $1000 project shitbox that hasn't left the driveway in two years
> ride a bike to work

I'm sort of waiting for the RX-9.
>>
>>17058198
Maybe 10% if you include insurance. I have some months where I do special projects for it or the regular maintenance that raises that but it's not by much
>>
>>17058448

600k?
600k what? Yen?
>>
>$100 a month on insurance
>$80 a month on gas
>$50 a month on miscellaneous (repairs, oil, washings)

I bring in about $2000 a month net, so about 11% of my monthly income.
>>
I make about 50k pretax and spend about $400 with insurance

My dti is currently 0. You'll be hard pressed to find a good lender about 60%. I think I'm going to finance a used abarth though soon and I'm looking to have a dti of about 15%, which is entirely reasonable

>Not investing and beating your loan rates.

>>
>>17058487
If you are willing to spend a certain amount of money on a car, and you can get a loan that is cheaper or on par for inflation, financing is totally fine.

Besides, good credit and having a long file will help you get a mortgage
>>
>>17058509
>get a mortgage
>spending more on the cost of borrowing and maintenance than rent
shiggy diggy

>>17058514
Yet then you end up with a tangible asset you get to keep and sell.
>>
>>17058487
>Not enjoying your life when you're able to

Obviously things like housing and food comes first, but you can't take your money with you once you're dead. Buying a nice car makes some people happy.

And I'm the guy with the cheap 2012 Focus a few posts up. But eventually I plan on buying a car that I actually want.
>>
>>17058198
do you mean fuel or just general maintenance, bc if it's the former probably 120-140 dollars a month
>>
>>17058221
Ontario fag

Whats good homie
>>
>loancucks
>>
>>17058198
On the essentials (fuel, insurance and maintenance) about 2.75% on my main car. About double that on each project car.
>>
>>17058206
Doesn't understand percentages or the difference between car and bus pass. What an idiot.
>>
>>17058221
>>17058599
Loling at your insurance right now
>>
Outside of petrol and occasional maintenance, 0%.

Owning all your vehicles outright is a nice feel.
>>
>>17058487
there really is nothing wrong with this if you know anything about finance
>>
>>17058198
4% on fuel
1,6% on insurance
0,2% on maintainance
calculated on pay after taxes
>>
>>17058599
That isn't my pic, I just own a BRZ. I didn't mean to get your hopes up. I am in the Northeast US tho.

2MB, 1440x2560px
3500/month
260 for car
175 for insurance
Roughly 50 per month of fuel

So 14% all that included
>>
Not sure the percentage but I pay like $70 for insurance. About it right now.

Soon I'll be spending.. uh roughly 25% I think. My cars kinds falling apart so I'm financing out a "used" car through my bank.
>>
100% of my monthly regret
>>
>>17058198
14% of my net take-home, including payment, insurance, and fuel.
>>
>>17058198
5%
>>
A lot because I'm still in training and paid like a slave. But it's not that much in absolute numbers, maybe 40 eurobucks each for fuel and insurance, plus whatever the irregular stuff adds up to. Maybe 120 eurobucks a month, depreciation notwithstanding. I'd have to drive a scooter if I wanted even cheaper transportation.
>>
I spend ~$30/mo on bike insurance, and maybe $50 in fuel
