If I'm honest it does sound a bit unreasonable if you fork out a grand a month to park two tonnes of metal outside your house most of the time, or use it to drive it to your place of work. I understand that not everybody can live in a walkable neighbourhood but the price for the privilege of sitting in traffic still seems a bit high.
Oh, I meant the calculation seems reasonable if that's what they were considering. The thought of owing that large of a car payment per month sounds insane to me.
If I can't put down enough to get under $250/month, then I can't afford the car, in my opinion.
It's not a grand a month if you don't finance a new car. The cost of owning a used car is much more affordable.
No I get it, the example they used is an extreme outlier and it's a grand a month. Then again, some might argue that a lot less than $1000 would still be a lot more than reasonable.
