>How much money should one make to justify a $20-30,000 car purchase?
it's almost never justified. Cars are devaluating assets also the more they cost the more you are going to pay in insurance and maintenance.
The best financial option is usually a used 3-5y/o car with a price of 8-12k and less than 100k miles, with the possibility of spending a little bit more if you need certain features (obvoisly check with a mechanic).

IF you want a nice car then you just need to pay full in cash and have everything in order (decent passive income, 1 year of emergency, if no passive income then a property of your own, taxes set aside, etc... and the car should cost no more than 6 month of revenue)

you can also just yolo and buy whatever on a lease but this will hurt your financial position in case of a recession. worth adding that woman just want your car to be clean, not about to fall appart and not give murderer vibes
