If you think you really want a loan, I would go with a care well under your yearly salary. But of course that really depends on where you live and your various costs of living. Maybe 1/3 of what you make in a year? Certainly wouldn't go double and triple, even half is a huge burden.
most people dont have that much cash laying around. To get a used car that is reliable is probably still 8-10k.
