We have been blessed in that our last two cars we purchased for cash. They were both used, but still in good shape. We are committed to never having a car payment again.

Jeff,
Those numbers basically represent my experience with personal finance. I’m not sure if I read them anywhere. I looked at much budget and asked at what point would that % be too much. If I did get it from someone it how now sunk into my brain so I think it came from me .

Craig,
These are some great numbers. Im a bit curious about why your total car value shouldnt be more than 50% of your take home pay. (disclosure: I definitely have payments in excess of 20% and my car is worth slightly more than 50% of my take home pay).

Just curious as to where you got these numbers.
