The answer is, "it depends." It looks like you're buying a used car, so the final price of the car is going to depend on any number of factors including, but not limited to, mileage, condition of the car, prior accidents, etc.

It would be much more useful (to us and to you) if you went and did some research, found a car that you liked, and posted a link for us to review. You can use kbb.com to calculate how much a used car should be going for. Their prices tend to be a bit on the high side, so there's still some room for negotiation. In addition, there are a few thousand sites out there that will help you calculate your monthly payment. But again, those sites would require the same information - namely a price. Your monthly payment will vary based on the interest rate that you're (mom) getting and the length of the loan.

In sum, I don't think there's anyone here who can make an educated answer to your question without more information from you.

As a rough (and I mean rough) calculation you can use the following:

$20K financed = $400 payment

$25K financed = $500 payment

...you get the gist. But the other poster was correct when pointing out that there are a lot of variables and to get specific. However using the model above, if you know what you're able to afford (payment wise) then you'll know roughly how much you can spend.
