According to Kelly Blue Book, the average new car purchase price in May was $47,148.

My rule of thumb for thirty years: if you can't pay off a car loan in 48 months, you can't afford it. Extending a loan beyond 48 months does not make financial sense. It's actually preferable to buy a car outright, unless you want a short-term loan to build your credit rating. That's my .02

Going into debt for a vehicle should be avoided as much as possible.

“The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender.” -- Proverbs 22:7

But a lot of people buy vehicles that are much nicer and fancier than they really need or can reasonably afford. Most 20 year old guys don't really need a $48,000 truck. And most waitresses don't really need a $37,000 SUV.

The average price of my last 4 trucks (purchased over the last 36 years) was $2,520. Only the last two had air conditioning.

Sixteen years ago when the big corporation I was working for went woke and queer, I quit. And one of the reasons I was able to do that is that the wife and I were debt free (all except a few years left on a modest mortgage). My wife would rather walk than have a car payment.
