how much of your wage?

[rob_s]

goes into/onto car related things?

im going through one of these need to sort myself things out atm lol :homme: :wacko:

and been thinking about all sorts and then was thinking about money and how i should rerally start saving up for the future etc,and my mum n her bf have moved away now so im left at my dads...witch is fine but me and his wife dont get on! but i cant afford a place on my own! (was supposed to be moveing in with the ex mrs......)

anyway more to point been looking at money etc lately and i seam to spend every penny i ern...but never have much to show for it

iv worked out i spend roughly 60% on cars either the 106..or insurance/finance payments on the megane and the rest just on genaral crap!

but part of me thinks fuck it i enjoy it whats the harm! i could be wasteing it on other things or not have a job atall..then the other part thinks i should really start concentrating less on the cars and start saving up etc!

so what do you think you spend on yours then?

[SAM-S44MDS-]

I would say far too much of mine tbh :n:

[taylor93]

I get roughly around 1500 a month ( before tax )

I probably put around 40 quids of fuel a week so thats 160 quid gone.

As i've only just passed my test, its hard to say about modding, but im hoping to get a mod a month done. Next is airbox which will cost between 100 - 200 so nothing major on my car tbh.

[beckha]

£100 saxo insurance
£100 civic insurance
£200 ish on petrol

£400 a month... not bad really for 2 cars.

Not bad considering I usually spend about that on petrol :panic:

[boony]

I'm the same ,but if it makrs you happy ..

[Caparias]

70 on insurance
100-160 on fuel depending how im feeling lol
hopefully 0 on repairs :D

[Dom]

Over 80% of my wage for the past 4 months has been spent on my car.

[Mr_X]

in total, everything all in, about 10%

[NickJ]

Diesel about £60 per month
Insurance about £35 per month
Tax £13 per month

Less than 10% of my wages

Do you need 2 cars? I had to cut out loads of expense in order to get my own mortgage, has all paid off now though

[MikeyW]

Hardly anything on car/car parts.

Probably about 15% on detailing gear but then I easily make that back from detailing jobs.

[Mochachino]

For the past few months its been 0%, my wages went on clothes, going out, holiday, paying back debts, food, phonebill and gym!

However now, its back to about 80%.

Break down for me:

£20 a week on diesel however lift sharing now, so £20 every 2 weeks on diesel
£33 a month on gym
£10 a week on food & drink at work
£36 phone bill a month
the rest all goes on the car lol

Insurance and tax are paid outright, cars bought with cash so no debts. Paid back what i owe my parents from helping me buy parts and the cars in my own time.

Why do you have 2 cars?

[MikeyW]

I don't understand how people pay so much for petrol.

I fill up every month and usually have some left over, drive to work and back every day, 2 miles each way. The odd drive to and thro places.

[johnlambert]

most of my wages go on bills atm.
ill have all my student loans and debts paid off come next may....

id rather spend money on my car than going out or on clothes and food..

for me money on the car,its like you get something back..

[Caparias]

Why do you have 2 cars?

Greed :y:

[Ciarannn]

£80-100 petrol

but atm the cars starting to decide it wants to break lol so just spent £130 on full service water pump cambelt etc and £120 on an alternator and £40 on wheel bearings.
and tax is at end of the month so thats another £120

so this month i have spent roughly £500+ on my car

[Liamm]

i get around 200-250 a fortnight.

£20 a week on diesel
£20 a week on insurance
£4 on a jelly belly air freshener cause the car smelt like mcdonalds :homme:

thats about it tbh :L
till the roof/bumpstrips/doorhandles/interior bits and diamonds get sprayed and i get hold of some wheels and lower it.
then i'll be spending a bit more xD

[P90PTS]

£50-80 on fuel
£15 on Tax n Test

That's it

[enthrone]

Around 15-25% of my wages most of its fuel.

[beckha]

Why do you have 2 cars?

Because one is my daily is and one is weekend/track car. :y:

And yes, maybe a little bit of greed thrown in.

[Lewis1600]

about 60-70£ a week fuel... :(

[SAM-S44MDS-]

about 60-70£ a week fuel... :(

I spend about £100 a week on fuel.....when the car works :S

[RossRog]

i spend too much...

[Gary-VTR]

£140/month insurance
£120-150/month petrol

Don't really put anything aside for tax/MOT/repairs. Just pay them when need be.

Sometimes I do wish I didn't have as many 'financial commitments' so I could blow loads of money on cars. :(

[Lewis1600]

I spend about £100 a week on fuel.....when the car works :S

But mines not sporty, its suppose to be a eco family car! :(

put £20 in on sunday topped up yesteday with 82 miles on the clock i think... something silly i hate it!!

[Mochachino]

100% of this weeks wage is going on the car lol £50 from next weeks will see me my new seat!

[Era]

i reckon about £10-15/mth on petrol and that's all.

[Moke]

Each month...

£200 insurance
£150 - £200 petrol

[rob_s]

and as for the 2 cars im the same a becca

meagane is the daily but tbf that costs vertually nawt to run tbh....60+mpg £30 a year tax and just the price on an MOT when it comes round i hope lol!

106 on the otherhand iv had since i was 16 and sunk that much into it i now dont want to sell it so have kept it sold most of the bits bar the bear shell etc and am turning it into a track car!

[Sparky26]

At the minute sweet f.a have the works van so no petrol is being used :D and i can't be bothered to work on it because i want to sell it so it sits there doing nothing at the min.

[Jackman]

Used to be near enough my whole wage.

Now its none of it, apart from putting £10 a week in the dirty derv!

[Mr_X]

Each month...

£200 insurance


:fcuk:

[moxy89]

At the moment i spent Zero on the car

however this month i got around 300 to spend on
tax

grp N enigne mounts
service and coolant change

then back to saving for a house and focus RS

[JoshONeill]

Focus RS thats well worth saving up 4! Good luck :D

[Tontsy]

majority of my money now, goes towards the bike!

currently saving up for a brembo set up! looking around 4k just on 3 bloody calipers! then master cylinder, disc and pads!

will have them fitted by summer hopefully!

[jeffo10]

each month 82 pound insurance n most off my wages save til i see something i want (:

[ed-bradley]

Basically all of my wage goes into my car..Well at the moment anyway.
Being as i'm a student and work part time I only get around £130 per week, but I'd say for the past couple of months or so I've been averaging around £70-80 a week on my car..on stupid bits aswell really, VT kit,paint,vinyl,brakes etc..
And thats without Tax,mot,Insurance aswell..So when all that comes around they'll be no Modding for the time being, as my insurance is going to be £200-240 a month and then theres fuel etc.


Ahh Joys.

[ed-bradley]

Yeah, Thats by myself... Putting my parents on didn't actually change it that much.
6 months ago i could have insured it for less than £1800, the majority of prices im getting now are £1000 more.

Ive got to insure it though, It'll go down though.....One day:hug:

[Saxo-SX]

Majority.

Get paid £240, then have to pay £140 for insurance, £40 petrol, and then £30 phone bill :panic:
