Well, again, down payment amount will totally depend on the particulars of your financial situation. One of the reasons I put down such a huge down payment was so that in case I have to sell the car, I've already taken most of the depreciation hit up front.

Another argument for a large down payment is that it all goes towards principle. The more money you pay on principle vs. interest, the less you're paying for the car overall. If you buy a car straight cash, you only pay for the costs of the car. If you finance the whole thing with a tiny down payment, you're paying a ton in interest.

I hope this helps?
