Can I afford a $107,000 car?
What's the salary needed for a $107,000 vehicle? A general rule of thumb for buying a car or truck is the 20 / 4 / 10 rule.
20 / 4 / 10 Rule:
- Make a down payment of at least 20% cash. For a $107,000 vehicle, this would mean saving up $21,400.
- Pay back the loan in 4 years or less.
- Don't spend more than 10% of your income on payments and insurance. Rough estimate: your annual income should be at least 2.5 times the purchase price. So to afford a car that costs $107,000, you would need to make at least $267,500 per year.
