House to Car value ratio.

[bmw114]

What is the "Average" house to car[s] value ratio, Mine is 9 to 1.
My wife thinks its to little it was 16 to 1 when we got wed 27 years ago.
What is yours?

[CarlT]

Mine is 5:1

[bigandclever]

Currently one months rent would more than cover the cost of my 205 with insurance and a full tank of fuel.
Back when I was a grown up, the B3 was probably 25k, the A6 20k with a 300k house. So, say 7:1

[Smartie]

is this total cars value?

Ours is 6:1

[aldi]

3 bed semi - £114K
1995 P10 eGT in black - £750

I make that 152:1!

Analysis: I'm a cheap b*stard.

0:1

[clubsport]

Roughly 30:1 but I am currently looking for another car to bring the ratio down a little.

[timmy30]

I love my old MR2....... but I guess in all fairness I'm running at about 100:1

Right now I have no intention of upgrading, unless I stick a turbo engine in it.

[anhamgrimmar]

that would be 0:5. damn, i need to buy a house at some point

I've never been good at reducing ratios....
Seeing as I'm living at home;

Parents house:my car = almost excatly 100:1

The house I've just bought (move in January) 11:1

[mxdi]

Currently going through housebuying process, when we move in it will be 11:1, thats with a 3 bed and 3 cars

[Bob the Planner]

Either 0:too much as I am currently renting where I live
or
33:1

[Marquis_Rex]

about 6500:1 if you consider the £50 Merc I bought or about 7.65:1 if you take the porker....

[Bob the Planner]

Or 7.66 if you take both.

how can a ratio be 0:5? a ratio is something to 1

[popov123]

Nope, I cant play this game having just departed my house in favour of single life...

Still got the car though

[alfaman]

House : Car ratio ... About 600 or so !



So I either live in a palace ........




....... or drive a banger

[zcacogp]

Erm ... 700:1.

(The car was quite cheap!)


Oli.

ETA: Are we counting all houses owned? If so, mine will change a bit.
