Buying a Car Project
To be done on PowerPoint or Keynote. Be Creative! Spelling and overall presentation count!
1) Find a used car to buy that will get you to work and school.
You will only have $3000 to put down for a down payment. Car must sell for less than $20,000.
A) Once you have decided on a make and model, find 3 for sale online. Tell me who is selling it and for how much (provide links!).
B) Compare those prices to the Kelly’s Blue Book Value.
C) Using an Internet based installment payment calculator, tell me how much your monthly payment will be.
D) Give me the estimated MPG city/highway and your estimated fuel cost monthly. This should be based on local gas prices and 12,000 miles a year (do the math).
E) Finally, find your estimated monthly insurance payment. If you’re stuck…Google!
