I bought my 92 Mercedes for $83K in 1992
You wanna talk car payments to me??? Loan Amount $83,000 Interest Rate % 9.55% Years 4 Monthly Payment $2,087.20 Plus ultra performance car insurance costs ... Between the two it was close to my wife's take home pay at the time. I still have the car, not the wife Quote:

With a 9% interest rate? Nobody.
Re: the OP- gifted cars don't come with payments.

I could very easily and confidently but my wife a car because she is so specific about the brand and features that it actually makes it easy. Now it would still need to be something that she obviously needs which was the case recently. But in the end it still doesn’t really feel like a gift unless it is paid for all at once.

I am impressed with his ability to swipe images and claim them as his own.

It was 1992. That's what new car money cost back then.

Depends on the car...
Whenever I see those commercials, I've always presumed those cars were bought with cash and it was the hoity toity crowd just flaunting their wealth. |

do the metadata on these. I don't have lots of pics of my cars. Most are on external drives and I am too lazy to go find them. Hagarty has lots of pictures of my cars on file. Here is my old 260Z from the same location and my old Chevy pick up that I have posted before my lab next to my SLK Benz Do I need to post the title too? I did find a pic that may (twin?) be you
Spoiler!

Depending on the car, I'd feel pretty dang great about it. Wife is frugal, so it would mean we just won the lotto!!
