75k... 6.25k a month then
The average income percapita of an american citizen is 42k (according to 2005 survey ) a year, which means 3.5k a month
assuming you already have a home, then you have a budget of:
( 6.25 - 3.5k monthly payment ) x 12
or
2.75k monthly payment x 12 = 33.000 US$
If you spend that much on your car, then you will be an NORMAL AMERICAN CITIZEN in every way, except for the quality of your private transportation |

I would buy a $5K car and buy a cheap house and invest wisely for 30 years and retire to a house and land in Colorado.
The other "normal" way to look at buying cars is to take 1/2 your annual pay and do not exceed that number for the purchase price. A house should not exceed 3 times annual salary. |

Decide for yourself how you want to budget your money. There are a lot of variables. |

A car is (almost) never an investment.
It is variously: a tool; a luxury; or a status symbol.
You need to decide whether your budget affords you either the luxury or the status symbol. Even if you can afford it you need to consider whether the car is a high enough priority to exclude other luxuries - you can get a really nice HDTV, lots of movies and a great vacation for the same amount. As for status symbol, you will appear very sad if you spend a massive amount on one thing and look poor in every other area of your life.
You should assume that the car will depreciate at 20-30% per year. This, combined with insurance and maintenance will set you back a substantial amount of cash for the first few years. After four or five years, the effective cost is smaller - but you no longer have a shiny new status symbol.
My advice would be to buy an older "cool" car and get attention by maintaining it really, really well. |

The one you can buy with your own money.
For example, if you save half your paycheck for a year you can afford a $37,500.00 USD car.

Arbitrage

Why are you obsessing over your car so much (at least 4 questions)? I guess I'll never understand. After taxes, shelter, food, and everything else, figure out how much money you have. Would you rather have that money growing in a 401k, Roth IRA, etc.? Or would you rather have that money deprecating every year in a car?
Map out a budget based on your income and expense and you should see how much you have left over to spend on the luxury car that you seem to be going for. You can't tell based on just one side of the equation. |

I probably wouldnt look any higher than a 30000 dollar car, you can get a very nice car for that...Infiniti's are nice, a M35 or M45 is great...classy, but not the price tag of a bmw or benz |

LOL sugarbear...
----------------
seriously though.. me personally? w/ that income? i'd buy a house first.. because that's single most important investment you'll ever make
but if you really want a nice car.. don't spend more than your annual income (after taxes).. so let's say 50k at the most
you can get a nice luxury car w/ that.. maybe an E class benz, 5 series beamer, or a lexus gs430.. those would be my choices |

I'm assuming you want to impress people with your car.
Buy A 5or6 year old BMW That is in perfect shape.
This will show people you have had money for a while.
Remember most really rich people drive 3 year old Honda Accords.
Trey are not really interested in appearances. |

Considering you've asked this question about 10 times in slightly varying ways, I'd say living a normal life for you is already out of the question. Good luck with that... |
