Total payments of $46,800, not counting the down payment.
For a Camry.
A Corolla would cost less for starters.
My lease for one involves a three-year deal that involves a lot less than that not much more than 20,000 bucks.
I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps a used model for 1/2 the cost would have alleviated the onerous payment.
My God! That is insane.
I've never owned a new car though at times I could have afforded a very nice one. It never made sense to me to purchase something that depreciates in value by ~10% when you drive it off the lot and then continues doing so until it's a worthless, troublesome pile of junk. I've always bought older, solid cars. Most served me very well and cost me very little money to insure and maintain.
