Total Price
As you look at a Ford Fusion or a Ford Expedition, take a look at the sticker price.

Knowing about all of these things and then leaving yourself a little wiggle room financially will help you craft a workable budget so that all you have to focus on is the car.
Down Payment
Most of the time, you will need to put a down payment on any vehicle you buy. The more money you are able to put down, the more chance you have of lowering your monthly car payments and getting a lower interest rate. One way you can help ease the burden of a down payment is buy trading in your current vehicle. Our website offers a help trade-in evaluation tool you can use to determine the value of your old car.
Percentages
A good rule of thumb is to dedicate no more than 10% of your overall income toward your new vehicle each month. For example, when you make $4,000 a month, you should allocate $600 or less to your monthly auto payment.
