How are auto finance decisions made?

Financial institutions typically take four major factors into account:

  • Down Payment
  • Vehicle specifics (model, style, age, mileage, and cost)
  • Application information such as income, time at current job, and time at residence
  • Credit history

How much should I budget for my car payment?

The rule of thumb from most financial institutions is to spend no more than 15% of your gross monthly income on your car payment. For example, if you make $2,000 a month you should spend no more than $300 on your car payment.
