How much of my income should I allocate for a car?

It depends on your cashflow and current life stage. Generally, I will suggest to spend about 50% to 60% of your monthly income. In like manner, this includes any monies spent on the car.

Hence, you may wish to account for the cost of owning a car into your overall expenses (and to ensure that it doesn't exceed your budget in the long-term).
