Most adults have hobbies. Just ask them what thier crossover is. I think there is no crossover point, as long as you can afford it and hear the differance then it is worth it.
I agree with Martykl....Once I crossed the line and went beyond the price of my car many years back, I had to re-evaluate the sanity of my hobby and downsized at that point. Maybe when the kids graduate from college and I retire, I will cross the "car" line again.
Why would a car price be a line? Some people have no interest in cars other than to get them from here to there and buy cheap ones. Some very wealthy people in large cities don't even own cars.
This is one of those questions that seems interesting on the surface but when you really think about it has no answer. To me the line is if you are going into debt and/or spending money that should going towards basic needs and/or retirement then you are spending too much on it.
Dont you ever feel guilty about what you spend on this stuff? I do sometimes even though I can afford what I buy. I think compared to other 'hobbies' this is far more addictive, and the spending to improve increases exponentially.
