How much car your payment target supports

Payment affordability is not total affordability

A car payment is only one ownership cost. Insurance, fuel or charging, maintenance, registration, parking and repairs can materially increase the monthly cost.

Avoid shopping by payment alone

Longer terms can make an expensive vehicle appear affordable monthly while increasing borrowing costs and the time you remain in debt.
