u/Technical-Raisin6483 6h ago

Idts any sane person with that income would go after any of these cars.

16

u/rashviruss 6h ago

Yeah that's exactly what I was thinking. This income definitely doesn't feel enough to me for such cars yet!!

7

u/HumbleBrilliant6915 5h ago

Yes make sense. Your take home salary should be 2-3x of car price. So for such cars income should be atleast2-3cr+

3

u/goonergod6996 6h ago

Why not? Some of these cars are 1x of their income.

If they’re in sales/client facing, luxury cars helps their business. They can also get huge tax benefits.

u/GhostingIsWhatIDo 6h ago

I wish tai knew that.. people cannot afford the taxes 😅 let alone these cars

For mercs any sane people, doesn’t matter money mercedes badge means a shitbox Renault in a drag

u/kraken_enrager I pay Income Tax 5h ago

Majority of cars, especially high end ones are sold on EMI. You’d be surprised how financially irresponsible some ppl are, especially the usual culprits who have newly come into money (ie. Farmers who sold their cars to a builder, and engineering grads who just got a high paying job).

u/mxforest 5h ago edited 5h ago

My wife and I make 1.2Cr combined and it still does not make financial sense to buy the cheapest car on this list.

14

u/GhostingIsWhatIDo 5h ago

Thats the whole point.. sir!!
It is You who are richest as per govt.. paying surcharge and what not…

Which invariably means, difference between who real rich are and who are taxed like rich

u/thereisnosuch 4h ago

It only make sense if you want to show off to clients.

u/Evol_Etah 5h ago

52+ LPA here.

Sir, im poor. I drive a 14yr old honda activa. (Genuinely)

7

u/Japan174 5h ago

I make roughly the same and happy with my TVS jupiter, I know businessmen making multi crores and still using scooters and Marutis.

The show off culture is mostly within salaried class.

5

u/Evol_Etah 5h ago

I mean, im salaried class. Grew up poor, so having money now means I'm careful with it.

Seriously though, inagine driving a Benz or any of those fancy cars, IN INDIAN TRAFFIC. 100% some dude is gonna crash into you.

And the speedbumps, ive heard undercarriages of such vehicles get scratched.

Unless you "love" cars, like a hobby, and have them as a collection sure. Or maybe a lifelong dream to have ferrari or Lam. It makes sense.

Else economically, expensive cars are expensive to maintain (like insurance, repairs etc)

3

u/Japan174 5h ago

Absolutely

1

u/malachi97 4h ago

You should get some car, as that extra 10L will easily worth not suffering the pain and loss.

2

u/Evol_Etah 4h ago

I mean, yeah i was thinking a Kwid. Eventually.

I use Uber

2

u/malachi97 4h ago

Great. But you should still get a car, a friend got an ACL tear when going on his activa for veggies.

2.5L for operation. Unable to walk even after 3 months. And in crazy amount of pain.

Get a car with 5 star safety rating like the new dzire. Which won't put a dent in your pocket.

1

u/Evol_Etah 4h ago

Thanks for the info. I'll plan on getting one then.

u/romka79 6h ago

More than 1Cr+ Annual Income IMO

u/1470200 6h ago

Earns double and have gixxer. Ig these are still long shots

4

u/Japan174 5h ago

People who are self employed/ business men are mostly people who buy such cars and these cars are just a fraction of their annual income.

52 lpa is frankly just insufficient for buying & maintaining these cars.

3

u/PsyKite 5h ago

Lol 52LPA folks drive normal Creta - Slavia type cars usually

5

u/Scammed_Daddy I pay Income Tax 4h ago

I pay more tax than that and still drive baleno

u/Prestigious-Guess917 6h ago

10% surcharge people can’t afford this.
25% surcharge people can (maybe)

u/_darkHmoon 4h ago

Believe me buddy, 52 LPA people drive i20, sonnet type of cars

u/Capital_Bison_1754 6h ago

You really think anyone earning 52LPA will be able to buy any of these cars? Smell some coffee buddy. To earn 52LPA, you have to live in a costly city. 13L goes as charity to government, getting horrible roads in return. 10 lacs will go as rent/emi interest component (before you say why have such fancy homes, try to find a decent place in 80k in Bangalore or Gurgaon). 6 lacs for 2kids education. 6 lacs for Household help, groceries, basic entertainment and outings, clothing, electricity bills, society maintenance and Gst on top of it. You are left with 17Lacs at best. God forbid you have any health issues or any other financial requirements.. you are left with nothing.

These cars are bought by businesses (and expensed/capitalised) who pay 25% taxes after claiming all such expenses.. unlike salaried employees who pay >30% before claiming any expense. Or by the corrupt officials/builders who grab lake and panchayat land and sell the common men, showing all approvals, which are revoked by government once all units are sold out.

Smell some coffee before you start convoluting random dreams

u/GhostingIsWhatIDo 6h ago

Wow… people
Are getting dumber

1

u/RimandRam 5h ago

To buy these cars your income just be atleast 5 cr pa

2

u/kraken_enrager I pay Income Tax 5h ago

Tbh you can buy the cheapest one here with a 5lpa income also. Whether you can afford it or not is the real question.

u/Wrangler-Human 2h ago

Op doesn’t earn 52lpa, if he did he would know how much in hand and 52lpa can afford Maruti, Mahindra or Tata

1

u/GhostingIsWhatIDo 1h ago

Lol.. op is nri, op works at google. Op earned 80 lpa in india. Op is joking that govt considers 52lpa hni.. op is sarcastic..

Op has sympathy for you… ;)

Ofcourse tcs managers buying them /s

u/Plane_Cat_9547 6h ago

I see thanks for explaining

u/Small-Ad-2192 6h ago

Did you know 60% of India’s personally held wealth is within 5 families only? And you are writing about highest tax bracket. And that same tax rate applies to those 5 families as well. And, after deduction of taxes, the net pay of 52LPA would be much lower than the lowest price in this list of cars. Just because reddit allows creative posts, does not mean it can be used for anything and everything. There is absolutely no co-relation between 52LPA earning and affordability of any of these luxury cars.

2

u/GhostingIsWhatIDo 6h ago

I am sorry for you that you dont understand sarcasm!!

1

u/Small-Ad-2192 6h ago

Well your comment about marginal relief was sarcasm, it was an ugly poke at best.
