What's the max % of your savings are you willing to spend on a car?

I'm just curious. Many thanks to all who'll participate.

Allow me to cast the 1st vote. I don't think I'll spend more than 20%.

can't say the exact percentage though....basta lagi naka-set aside yung pang-change oil and other parts na palitin depende dun sa recommended PMS....about sa mga mods, least prio ko yun, siguro pag may excess or di nagamit dun sa naka-set aside.....hehe! kuripot ba? GI kasi eh! hehe!

Honestly hindi ko maintindihan ang question.

For me, savings is savings. Expense is expense. A car is an expense. A chunk is alotted to this expense, and a different chunk is set aside for savings.

same here.... di pwede pagsamahin yan.
ako i always get my car via the company's car loan program lang. kung medyo over yung amount nung car vs. allocation ko dito, ako nag-aadjust. hindi ko kinukuha yung savings ko.

Swimstroke, pa clarify. Do you mean for example having a P500k ride(including accessories/maintenance), and a remaining savings of P500k, so if you didn't get that ride, your savings would have been P1M. So having chosen to spend P500k of a would have been P1M savings, this would have been 50%?

For those naman with car plans, you take into account how much one would spend in say 5 years of the plan, vs would have been savings over the same period, having not gotten that ride?
