Nothing. But the fact that he stated he would rather take the loan out for 60 months rather than 48 to be more comfortable is a tell that this is the top of his budget.

If I'm going to stretch my budget, its going to be on something that isn't going to drop in value by 40 percent in 2 years. I answered his questions above.
