After that, it was all on me to save and live within my means. Payments sucks at 200 bucks monthly but 1000? Crazy.

When I shop I insist on a payment based on what I know I qualify for rate-wise, and on a loan amount that gives me under MSRP- usually in the form of a pre-approval from the local CU.
