Shopping for a car<br />
Overview<br />
There's no sense getting all worked up about a car you can't<br />
afford. So save yourself some disappointment and figure out a<br />
payment amount you can handle before you start looking.<br />
Start with your budget. How much room is there in your<br />
budget? Could you, for example, fit an extra $200 a month in<br />
your budget without strapping yourself too much or eliminating<br />
your savings? If so, can you fit an extra $300 a month in your<br />
budget? No? How about $250? Continue that process until<br />
you have a general idea of how much extra room you have in<br />
your budget. That's how much you can afford to pay for a car<br />
every month.<br />
