If you were making $44k to $48k a year, can a person afford a $36k car comfortably?

To the people emphasizing on getting a used car, the difference between a brand new car and used one isn't all that big anymore (especially with Japanese cars, which is what I've been shopping for).

OP is still dumb for making this thread though

who pays the full cost upfront? and why buy when you can lease.

not sure if srs

let someone else take the depreciation hit on the new car

 

[girlslovewaffles]

Depends on what else you're spending money on. If you're okay living in a cheaper area, possibly eating out less, and not getting yourself new clothes and electronics all the time, it should be OK.

If you're going to finance, don't do anything higher than 1.9%. I was able to get my 3-series for 0.9% due to good credit.

[ootherocoo]

OP, has some serious thinking to do.

Is a car really worth the potential headache of a car payment?

 

[ryda421]

not really sure why you want to buy such an expense car, my instincts tell me you're thinking european as well

EDIT:

just saw that you want an american car

just get a 2001-5 lexus

Buy a truck. You'll be able to do so much more than you'd be able to with a car.

Cars limit you way too much.

People on this board love counting other people's money. If its not effecting you directly why does it matter if someone is living out of their means? Let them do them. You don't know their situation. They could be living with their parents, push a nice whip and make more than you.

 

[Ja's 2¢]

damn.

Maybe because OP asked our advice. You didn't bother to read did you?

My rule of thumb is only spend half your salary on your car

So someone who makes $250K/year should be able to buy a brand new Porsche Cayenne Turbo?

Y'all are something else...

What?

Because 50% is way to much! Like I said earlier... 20% of your salary is ideal.

 

[rell826]

I responded to dude above me. Maybe you should have read closely and put it together.

No you didn't! Your post to the poster above you doesn't even make sense. Maybe you should learn to quote then?

My folks told me when I was a kid

15% on home or rent
10% on car

My folks always stressed having a nice cushion and living below your means.
