Math: [list][*]Over $50K/year[*]Less than $4k/month after taxes[*]That's less than $400/month for transportation costs[*]$100 for insurance, $150-$200 for fuel, $0-$50 for other costs[*]That leaves $100/month for car payments[*]After fees, taxes and everything, but with a 20% down payment, the cost of the loan itself will need to be around $5k.

I bought a 2024 Nissan Kicks and am getting 32 mpg for the first 1000 miles. Price was affordable for this old retired guy on SS and $550/mo "pension".
