What is a good amount to borrow when applying for an auto loan?

I am applying for an auto loan and am new to this. I am not sure what amount to ask for or loan term. I can afford $250-$300 a month.

The smallest amount possible ,


Loans just flush $$$$$ down the drain by paying % .


And Car loan % is NOT even tax deductible !

Reply:If you are buying a used car, make sure the term is 3 years and less - a new car - 4 years and less





You should be putting down at least 30% down on a vehicle, so that you don't end up "upsidedown" when the car continues to depreciate.





Remember, you must carry comprensive and collision on a car that has a loan attached to it - figure that additional expense in.





Honestly, I think you should save money for a year and just buy the vehicle for cash!
