20% of $40k is $8000

Ask Fusz if my reasoning is correct.
And nooooo, you heard wrong. Cars don't deppreciate 20% "once you sign all the paperwork."
"That is the main reason experts recommend putting down at least 20% for the car just so that if you run into financial instability, you would not be hurt by it as much."-if you're gold-balls credit, make lots of money, have a high 'revolving availability'--you can roll outta the Porsche dealer with just drive-off's i.e. ~10.5% in state of CA.
