That payment gets you a $28k used car at best, assuming no other costs. It won't be anything fancy.

My brand new Chevy Bolt only cost me like 22k, after the $7500 tax rebate. It's a perfectly nice car.

> assuming no other costs.

Assuming normal costs, you are looking $21-$22k not including taxes.

There is no way you are finding a car for $28k for just $400. Trust me.

		I think they are just saying something like 400 * 72 gives you an absolute hard ceiling of 28k and change. Once you add in interests, sales tax, and other fees, you end up with something like the numbers you're saying. 72 months sounds stupid, because it is, but extremely long car loans are becoming increasingly common these days https://www.marketscreener.com/news/new-experian-automotive-... and you can even sometimes go to 84 if you really want that 28k number at $400/m.
