A good rule to use is that your total monthly auto repayments shouldn’t exceed 20% of your salary after tax. This may also be too much for you to afford, depending on other expenses you incur. You also need to consider availability of a lump sum for deposit on the vehicle and monthly fees such as car insurance.
