Why not get a used car? Or a base model? $500/month seems pretty high for a car payment. I was paying $350/month for a Volkswagen Jetta with the highest trim package.
- cableshaft 8y agoI said $300/mo for the car payment. It got up to $500/mo with gas, insurance, and maintenance. If you're referring to where I actually said $500/mo, I was saying she's spending that much per month on hiring Uber/Lyft rides to get to and from work. Keep in mind, that Uber cost effectively already prices in gas, maintenance, and insurance for the Uber driver, which are costs she'd have to make that she wasn't really considering when wanting to get her own car (or at least didn't realize how much it all costs). I bought a used car and I'm paying a little under $300/mo in car payments (one more year and it's fully paid off). My girlfriend was looking to buy a much newer, but still used car (or lease a new car, she's still undecided), and was looking at roughly $300/mo for car payments either way.
