I just bought a 2001 Escape. It's in near perfect condition. It's loaded and everything works. I paid less than one weeks income for it. That's how I like to aquire vehicles.It will do me 5 years at least.
About 20% in 2005, but it's been paid off for a while, has 80,000 on it and still in great condition, and I figure I'll get several more years out of it. Thought about trading it in, but the thought of making payments again changed my mind.
I can't believe the number of people here that are reporting incomes in the $175k to $200k+ range. Either the math is funny here or there are a lot of (relatively) high-salaried folks on this board that drive (relatively) inexpensive cars.

My math is correct. For us, we have an above average income in an expensive part of the country coupled with a preference for reasonably priced automobiles.

I guess it's a little different as I was assuming a percentage of single income. I guess if its one car for two earners, the percentage of combined income makes sense. One guy mentioned a percentage of strictly his wife's income, which I calculated at something like $460k. However in your case, it's a little misleading, though still technically correct, to call $300-400k "above average".

It's actually our second car, but I was looking at from with our combined income.
I don't think that it's that misleading in this area. There are many dual income couples in this area making in the $200K's in combined salary, especially if both are either in high-tech, biotech, or finance.

Yeah... seems like it.
