Define "afford it".
If it's about finding a way to squeeze a monthly car payment of X into monthly income of Y, then yes.
If it's about whether spending $40K for vehicle expense (and having no monthly payments after 4 years when the vehicle is paid for) for the next 10 years or spending $75K then no.
If he loses his job they have a month before they have to start selling RRSP's to survive.
Given this, can they afford it? Technically yes, but the big picture answer is no.
