Affording A New Car
Tips for Affording Your Next New Vehicle on a Limited Income | Mansfield, PA
When you’re working with limited income, the prospect of needing a new vehicle can be incredibly stressful. But if you take certain steps before you visit Blaise Alexander Chevrolet of Mansfield, you can be confident that you’re making the best decision possible — both for your budget and your daily driving needs.
Figure out exactly what you can afford
The easiest way to wind up underwater on your next car, truck, or SUV purchase is not knowing how much you can afford to pay. As a general rule, you shouldn’t spend more than 15% of your net income each month on your vehicle. That’s not just the price payment, either — that percentage includes loan interest, fuel, maintenance, and auto insurance.
Figure out what your monthly take-home pay is and determine about how much you pay each month in gas and insurance premiums (keeping in mind that both fluctuate), and that should leave you with a good idea of an affordable monthly payment. Then, you can use our convenient payment calculator to determine your shopping options at our Mansfield dealership.
