Default What's the most you would be willing to spend on a monthly car payment?

Just interested to see what people are willing to spend for their love of cars. I know someone who pays 1270/month but my friend who works as a salesperson at my local BMW dealership told me he has seen people leave his dealership with 1800-1900/month payments.

That just sounds crazy to me. What are your limits?

My limit would be 600 per month after the down payment. I couldn't see paying any more than that. I love cars but I have a life as well...

zero. the only way to go. ppl who spend 1800-1900 are stupid. obviously they cant afford the car. what about the other fun stuff to spend money on. once you factor in all the finance & interest costs, youve grossly overpaid for a car.

my advise: dont live beyond your means! debt-free should be your #1 goal!

no more than 100$ a month and that would be like a year or 2 to pay off the car. i dont like to make payments. that why when i bought my audi i searched until i found one in good condition and paid it off at once.

I think it kinda depends on your income level. Give me a couple more years and, once I'm in a 6-figure-neighborhood I cud go as HIGH as $1.99... Per MONTH, that is
