THE 20/4/10 RULE: 20% Down Payment 4-Year Loan 10% Of Your Income - Maximum This is similar to the above, but allows you to buy slightly more car by extending your loan an extra year and bumping up your payments. THE DAVE RAMSEY METHOD: He says: The car you can afford is the car you can buy outright, in cash. In addition to that, he practices the belief that the total value of your cars should NEVER cost more than 50% of your annual salary. THE 10/10 METHOD: The Financial Samurai Blogger recommends spending NO MORE than 10% of your gross income on a car that you keep for at least 10 years. Owning a reliable used car like this allows you the discretionary income to invest elsewhere, you won’t have the financial stress of being burdened by high payments, and you’ll be financially free to spend in other areas where you might get more personal enjoyment. LENDER QUALIFICATIONS: Most lenders DO NOT care about the above...instead, as long as you can make the monthly payments, they'll give you a loan at the most you can possibly get. Even more concerning, some lenders are willing to finance up to 125% of the cars value - so, if you bought a car for $30,000, they could give up to $37,500 to include sales tax, registration, title, and license fees. Personally, I think if you JUST need a car for commuting - pick something that’s used, affordable, good on gas, and costs less than 10% of your gross income to pay off entirely within 3 years (if you can’t buy it outright in cash). This gives you the best value while spending as little money as possible.
