Accounting / Finance guy here.

You can't judge this with a rule of thumb like you can when buying a house.
You might spend 80% of your income on your car if you live at home with your parents and have no other expenses.

But if you're already spending 50% of your income on rent then even spending 15% on your car might be too much.

In other words its different depending upon your situation and you have to spend what you're comfortable spending.
