How Much Car You Can Afford
Set a payment you can live with, see what a 72-month loan really costs, and choose between new, used, cash or financing, whether you feel priced out or already signedBy Imad Muratspahic
Length3h 3m
About this audiobook
You have seen the prices. A $50,000 truck on the lot, a payment that looks like a second rent, and a feeling that everyone else has figured out something you missed. Or maybe you signed quickly, drove home, and the number on the loan paperwork has been sitting in your stomach ever since. How Much Car You Can Afford gives you a way to answer the question with your own paycheck instead of a sales pitch. It turns your take-home pay into a payment ceiling, turns that ceiling into a realistic price, and shows the total cost of owning a vehicle so the monthly number is not the only number you see. Every figure in the book is an illustration and every calculation is shown step by step, so you can redo it with your own numbers. This is the decision that comes before the showroom and just after the signature. It is not a book about haggling over the out-the-door price, and it is not a rescue manual for a loan that has already gone wrong. Those are different jobs. Here you decide how much vehicle fits your life, how long a loan makes sense, whether new, used or nearly new suits your situation, and whether cash, financing or a mix leaves you steadier.
