Here at MINI of Peabody, we know that there are a lot of considerations to make when buying a new car. One of the most important steps is making sure that a vehicle fits into your budget. Whether you’re driving away in a new or pre-owned MINI model, you want to make sure that you can afford it and all of the extra costs that come along with it.
Whether you’re buying a 2019 MINI Countryman or one of our reliable pre-owned models, you’re going to have to do some math. Fortunately, we offer some tools on our website that let you know how a vehicle can potentially fit into your budget.
If you have a trade-in, we’ll let you know approximately how much it’s worth. That can help you know more about how much you’re going to have to spend and help you see what kinds of vehicles aren’t going to be a major financial burden.
We also offer a payment calculator, where you can enter information like the cost of the vehicle, your planned down payment, and the APR on your loan to see if a monthly payment is doable. Generally, you don’t want to spend more than ten to twenty percent of your monthly income on vehicle costs.
You also need to consider some other factors when seeing if a car fits into your budget. What’s the fuel economy look like? Do you have other debt? How much is insurance expected to cost? Looking up state fees for car ownership can help as well. Do you need to rent out a parking spot or garage? Consider all of the costs that a vehicle can bring with it and see exactly what kind of MINI car suits you.
