what is expensive?

what would you consider an expensive car?

$20K, $30K, $40K, $50K+ ?

this is why i drive a car until the wheels fall off - i hate the process of buying a new car. very few things intimidate me - but this is totally one of them.

HELP!

I am broke and cheap, so all of the above is expensive. I'm with you--I drive it till it falls apart and can't drive it anymore.

What kind of car?

ummmm 40K hits the expensive mark for me.

For a car?

30k.

I can't tell you how much I hate car buying. I heard of a service that will do all of the negotiating on your behalf. I need that in my life.

I'm going to change my answer- 35K ofr a car car, 40K for an SUV.
And that's my final offer.

my sister recently bought a hybrid
besides the environmental aspect, and the gas, you get awesome tax rebates.

our next car will be hybrid.

I heard that 06 wa sthe last year of the hybrid tax breaks.
But you totally get to drive int he hov lane all the time.

All cars are compared to inground pools. If I could get a sweet pool and patio for less than the car, then it is too expensive. I wouldn't spend more than 30K, unless it was for a super sweet hybrid

New York's Alternative Fuel (Clean Fuel) Vehicle Tax Incentive Program, which offered tax credits and a tax exemption for purchasing new hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs), have expired. In Jan. 2006, Governor Pataki proposed new incentives. For more information, please contact the New York State Energy Research & Development Authority (NYSERDA) at 866- NYSERDA, via email at [email protected], or visit the web site at www.nyserda.org.

Clean Pass is a program allowing eligible low-emission, energy-efficient vehicles to use the 40-mile Long Island Expressway High Occupancy Vehicle (LIE/HOV). Clean Pass is a multi-agency pilot program partnering three New York State agencies, the State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT), the State Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV), and State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC).

Well being a home-owner, everything is expensive!!! I recently had to get a new-to-me car, it was a 2006 used listed at $15K (it had high mileage). At this point, it would've been too much for me to buy the same car new (around $22-$24K).

DH wants a new truck, but it actually makes more sense to plug $$$ into his 1995 truck than it does to get him a new one. For him to get the 2007 model of his truck it's about $30K, just not feasible for us.

be careful with them.

i heard that godforbid you are ever in an accident and need to be cut out of your vehicle - the fire dept cannot use the jaws of life to get you out. the battery will hold a charge that would cause an electric current - possibly casuing electricution.

my brother needed to be cut from a vehicle once - you never know what can happen. to each his own - but i never plan on owning one after hearing that.

interesting!! I never heard that.

looked that up too, might be a myth...

expensive if anything that prevents me from going to europe once a year.

like a mortgage.

or a ferrari.

poor

i like those priorities.
The car we get after this suv kicks th ebucket- prob around $30K.
I would rather live beneath my means and travel. I plan to always own a small home so I don't have to clean too much.

wow, I wish I had that kind of budget
actually I don't...even if I had it I just don't think I could pay more than 20K for a car. I have a hard time even paying that..yes, I am a bit of a cheapo
