car

In order to get to and from work, as well as meet other transportation needs, you will need a car. You will need to find a listing for a new or used car. IT NEEDS TO BE IN YOUR PRICE RANGE!

Once you find the listing for the car, figure out how you are going to pay for it. Find a place where you can get a loan, and then figure out how much the payments will be. Be sure that you have an accurate representation of real car payments. Don't forget about interest!

You may choose to lease the car. In that case, find out how much it will cost total to lease the car from the company. This will count as your car payment.

Either way, you will need to have insurance on the car. Use an insurance company (State Farm, Allstate, Geico, Progressive, etc.) and get a quote for the insurance on your car.

If you already have a car owned by your parents, you need to write how they will transfer ownership to you. Are you going to pay them for the car? Are they giving it to you for free? Either way, you will still have to pay your own insurance.

If you are going to live in a large metro area, you might decide that you will walk and ride the bus everywhere you go. You may also look into buying a bicycle or a moped. If that is the case, you will need to price out these options. Please see me for assistance.


 * FOR YOUR FINAL PORTFOLIO, YOU WILL NEED:**

To print off the listing for the car you want.

To include a statement somewhere about the payments you will be making.

To print off a quote for the insurance on your car.

If you are using alternative transportation, write a paragraph explaining how that will work in your scenario.
