It's all relative to how much genuinely "spare money" you've got. I might consider spending 5 or 6 figure sums on a car if I could genuinely afford to spare that sort of cash and not expect to see any of it back.

If I had £2 million in the bank that I could genuinely consider to be spare cash (i.e. all my other outgoings were covered by some form of income or money put to one side to cover them), then I *might* consider splashing out £100k or so on a car. But only if it was something I *really* wanted, and it was good value for what it was.
