This project is going to give you the opportunity to shop online for a new or used car that you would be interested in purchasing. You have up to 6 years to pay it off and you can spend at most $30,000 for the price of the car. It can go over with tax, interest, etc. There are numerous websites that you can use to choose your vehicle including, www.carfax.com, www.autotrader.com and www.cars.com. The vehicle must be a 2018 or newer because most banks will not finance a vehicle older than this. If the field is highlighted yellow, you must fill in the box that goes with it. Some of the questions in the “Car Buying Comparison Sheet” you might not be able to answer such as invoice price on the dealer’s website. You should be able to find it by doing a “Google” search or ask “Siri”. Try to answer them, but there might be some that you just can’t find and that is alright if it is only a few. Special features could be something like air-conditioned seats or blind spot monitoring.
