If that is a month daaaamn. BTW location makes a HUGE difference, at least in my age range. Here in Flagstaff (50k) population, it would be 140 a month and in Phoenix it would be 230ish a month

Ok, I'm getting a sex change. I pay over $270 a month for insurance, perfect driving record since age 16 and I am now 24.

I think it would be worth having a vagina if I could get insurance that cheap....

And who says girls don't always get what they want??

wow, so the extra $50 is for a dinner 1 time a month? I don't know and really don't car about any one else and what they spend I used to spend about 25% of my income on cars now I spend less then 40% on everything AFTER tax. It helps with the stress, I would say keep it less then 10% of your gross would be a good idea. so if gross is 6,000 a month then 600. You will always be safe.

i'm not sure of all banks, but the way our banks do it is like this:

take your gmi (we'll use 2k as a hypothetical).

2000 gmi

you then lose 40% for col (cost of living - gas, food, clothes, etc)

40% of 2k = 800

that leaves you with 1200.

then you lose a rough guesstimate of your tax bracket. for someone making 2k, that would amount to about 25% (fed, state, soc).

25% of 1200 = 300 (leaving you with 900)

of the 900, they now deduct a standard 100 for insurance (no matter whether you pay more or less).

that leaves 800. what about rent? if you share a place, then let's say your share is 300. that leaves 500.

$500 seems like it might be enough, right? now the banks check your credit - how much do you owe, etc. they deduct all that from the $500. let's say you owe about 150 to all your credit cards per month.

that leaves you with 350. if the car you're trying to buy costs 300, you're cool. if it comes close to 350, then they may think you're stretching yourself (and they'll show this in the form of an interest rate).

you can plug in your own gmi to see how it may work out for you.

anything under 12% is generally good. first time buyers typically see somewhere in the 10%+ range, based on credit.

once again:

gmi
- 40% col
- tax (use paystub to figure yours out)
- $100 ins
- rent/mortgage (your legal share)
- minimum monthly debt obligations

voila. there you go for your maxpay.

if you totaled the car, dont you still have to pay for the old one? im guessing you are basically paying for two lancers then? ...that would suck....
