Maruti Suzuki S-Presso: The feel of an SUV on a small budget

If you want a car that looks tough and sits high without spending too much, the S-Presso is a great choice. Its good ground clearance helps it handle bad roads and potholes easily. The car's ex-showroom price is between ₹3.50 lakh and ₹5.25 lakh. It gives a mileage of 21.4 km per litre on petrol and 32.7 km per kg on CNG. If you make a down payment of around ₹1 lakh, your monthly EMI will be about ₹5,500 to ₹6,500. This is very manageable on a ₹30,000 salary.

What should you do to buy a car on a ₹30,000 salary?

Finance experts believe that a car's on-road price should not be more than half of your monthly salary. However, if you take a loan for 5 or 7 years, your monthly EMI should be between ₹6,000 and ₹7,500. This leaves you with ₹22,000-₹23,000 for household expenses and savings. Try to keep your EMI under 15-20% of your salary.
