I want to say something was expensive. Can I use "bank-breaker"?

Is this okay?

The car was a bank-breaker. I had to burn six months of my savings on it. And I can't say it's good value. It doesn't exactly run circles around other more affordable cars.
 
It is unnatural.

"Break the bank" is a more common phrase.
