Wrong question. All driven by down-payment, term and interest rate. Question should be the price of the vehicle.
Sincerely, a former car salesman who LOVED when ppl just cared about their monthly payment

+ 1. Never reveal your monthly budget to dealer. Purchase or lease.

Preferably pay full in cash. If you had to do a Monthly payment, do one that’s for :

Any truck that costs less than 1/2 of your yearly income and you can put 20% down
Loan is less than 48 months
Monthly should be less than 10% of your monthly income

like

ED1 is correct.

Determine the monthly payment you are comfortable with and can afford, determine the down-payment you are comfortable with and can afford. Play around with some online payment calculators and see what what that translates to for a total price.

That total price is now the high-end OTD (purchase price+taxes and fees) you are looking to buy at.

A sales guy can make just about any payment possible as long as he stretches the term out far enough.

I always tell them I’m only looking to pay $99/month.

For any car, make the payment as little or close to zero as possible. Get an older model or put more down but get that payment down. It’s a losing asset, so buy something reliable and inexpensive.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

I have an old 2006 Camry that I am eventually looking to replace (it is currently worth 2k). Have always wanted to learn about cars and how to do stuff with it and would like to use this car as an opportunity to pick up a hobby. What resources can anyone suggest (books / videos etc) where I can do car-related stuff, from the simple to hopefully more complicated as I get better. Thanks

911 Carrera S vs GTS

I really want to do a low key spec on my next car but it’s almost impossible to spec the GTS without black wheels/accents turning it into a more aggressive looking car.

Thoughts on if the GTS in a 7 speed is more engaging than the S enough to justify the compromise in wheel selection?
