The most you have paid for a car?

[LukeDM]

£900 for a diesel golf, the cheapest was £150 for a Polo, perhaps my next car will be my first non-shed! (I doubt it)

all of them if they read the op's post

I am the OP, and tbh given the amounts listed, spending £30k+ seems unusual when not using finance?

Why's that brave?

Just seems an awful lot to pay out in cash I guess. Leave me alone, I've spent nearly 10 hours on trains today to look at a car I didn't buy

[DKS]

£1995 for a 1999 Astra SRI. Still have it, have done 45k in 5 years with no major hassle.
Had two free Cavaliers (one gave its 2.0 engine to a Nova).

[Fartgalen]

32,5k (yes, saved up cash) in 2007 for my Dodge Viper. Would probably get that back if I sold it today. Or close to.

[X1BHO]

£18,300 for my 2007 Cayman S back in April 2013.

Just sold this week though I do not know how much for yet as was dealt with by a dealer.

Not the most... But over £100K last Sunday...!

What on earth did you buy? And what WAS the most?
Yes I am jealous!

BMW i8 on Sunday... But £120K in 1989...!!! on a New 911 Turbo LE one of 50 and had about a £30K premium at the time ...!!!

[SteveS Cup]

£14,000 on an Audi TT 225... What I was thinking back then is beyond me but I was very young with a decent wage and living at home! Sold for half what I paid after only a few years and a credit crunch!

Not owned anything worth that much since as I refuse to waste that amount on a second hand car.

However, I have been looking at lease deals as at least you know where you are up front and there shouldn't be any additional costs etc.

Cash??? Wow!

[anonymous-user]

Not Much

[KM666]

£1370 for my current car. Cars in similar condition go for around 3500€ locally which obviously fuels visions of what I could afford next. I certainly didn't expect values to be so strong on skoda's in italy.

[BobSaunders]

51k.

Whilst also running a type 7 kit car and a land rover 300tdi.

On reflection i must be mental. Never again.

What's "finance?"

Is that something poor people get?

Lol. I'm not a powerfully built company director and am poor but never used finance!

When the finance rate is lower than your bank interest rate it makes sense

You're investing in the wrong place then.

[jamieduff1981]

£16,250 in cash for my TVR.

Most expensive car is my XF, but that's on a PCP. It's a close second in terms of cash payment though - I put a £15k deposit on it and the APR was extremely attractive so I took my wife and daughters to Disney World and bought another little business last year with liquid money instead. I'm sure that makes me a moron in the eyes of the PH jury and I'm probably going to be blamed for the credit crunch - but I don't care.

[FrozenShivers]

Only owned 2 cars, both cost me the exact same...1996 Mazda MX-5 Merlot Edition 1.8l, 2005 Renault Clio 1.2l. Paid £1500 for each. PCP on new Polo GTI which I have coming next week.

[Russ_H]

Least I've spent........£250 on a Citroen BX 16v.

Not the most reliable car I've had but was thrashed mercilessly every day in my ownership so can't really complain
