This indeed depends on the money you make. y car right now is something around 30-35k but it's a company car. I wouldn't spend much more if I would have to buy one myself I think. If I had loads of money, then there would be no limit, just it being the greatest car ever would be enough

This is a very good topic actually. It is interesting to see what people value ...and how much things are valued at.

Because I have a big interest in art, I keep a close watch on the international art market.

In the past few years, the value of important contemporary art has increased dramatically. I am staggered at some of the prices being paid for works that sold for 1/10th of the price a decade ago.

Check out these prices from this recent auction.

^ Yeah, it's crazy. There is a lot of new wealth in the art market which has pushed prices through the roof. Prices for rare and important contemporary design objects have also been going nuts.

I voted '100-150k'....Considering there are only two cars I'd consider purchasing above the 150k limit (Carrera GT and Zonda), I thought it was the best option.

I voted for 50-70k, not because i can afford a car of that range, since i currently have a 35k Volvo and a 500€ Renault, but because i think that spending more than that on a car is pointless, no matter if i can afford a car of that price or not..

What does a LP640 Roadster costs ?
I would spend whatever it costs but
it's not about the money it's just because I want it...

But I can say that I probably never will buy a million dollar car.
No REVENTON and NO veyron, I would try them and such but never use 1 million USD. That's insane and stupid.. still the Veyron is a masterpice(SUPERBUG).

So...
