Car V House price ratio?

[audi321]

With the 2 biggest purchases in an average persons life being a house and a car. What do you guys think an acceptable percentage of house value to spend on a car? i.e. If house value is £200k is 10% (£20k) a reasonable figure to spend on a car?

At what point does it become out of proportion? I'm at about 15%!

Jesus......you've either got a very cheap house or a fantastic car!

Depends on if we go on purchase price or value now.

Gotta be value now as a house bought 30 years ago for £10k would distort the figures a lot.
