Both are correct, but it depends on what you want to communicate.

I can’t afford refers to a monetary situation, meaning that you don’t have the sufficient amount of capital to buy the car.

I can’t allow has something to do with permission or feelings. You can’t allow yourself to buy the car because of an opinion, you don’t like Elon Musk for example.

First, best to start w/ the supposition "Which is correct?".

Past that, both of your statements are "grammatically" correct, but differ a great deal re: deep meaning.
