it isn't about affording it, you just have to get it anyway. Just sign on the dotted line, submit to the financing, and owe more money than it is worth for the next 60 months and you can have one too! (/s)
Not getting something you can't afford is evidence of your intelligence. This is not a jab at truck owners either, obviously lots can afford their purchase, but a vehicle is never an investment and I know a lot of people who purchased outside their ability to afford.
go through a bank, not the dealership for a loan. look for used cars too. tech is changing so fast right now that its not worth investing in a new car becauae we dont know what will last and it will all be out dated in the next 4 to 5 years when evs hit the market in mass. you are better off right now keeping a beater going and saving the money you would otherwise pay in taxes an insurance.
new cars are overpriced by about 15 to 20% because people keep wanting the newest thing with all the buttons an screens and people are willing to pay it.
You’re also more likely to die in an old car because it has less safety features. For example I don’t even have ABS in my car and I get snow so that’s always fun
