Talking How much $ would you spend on a daily driver?

Question: How much would you spend on a daily driver?
Or, in other words, at what price point / vehicle condition would you go from the thinking of, "This will be my daily driver" or, "This is a weekend cruiser / collection car"?


For instance, I bought my 1987 300TD for $2000, but I rebuilt the rear suspension, entire cooling system, and a few other expensive things probably totaling to $4k-$6k worth of parts & labor.

A while ago someone was selling a beautiful black 87' 300TD for $10k on craigslist/ebay. I thought that would be an excellent vehicle as a daily driver and that's when it got me thinking. Another for instance, I love this 1992 500E, but for $42,000 I don't know if I could justify driving it daily!


This is a question that is subjective, everybody is going to have their own answer; It should be fun to hear every bodies answer though so let's see.
