?Our Car Quest?

• By Alex and Kaity

The Purpose and What We Learned

• Project We had to go online onto given sites and
  find 2 cars per person. W got to pick them, but
  we had to be able to pick ones that cost under
  350 per month, and we had 60 months at most to
  pay for them, with down payment and taxes.
• Purpose I think that the purpose of this project
  was to show us sort of what its
• like to choose something to buy with a given
  amount of money you can use A.K.A. handling a
  budget without actually using real money. It was
  probably also meant to show us how taxes and down
  payment affects the price of things that you buy.
  
• What We Learned
• The difference between a model and a make. A make
  is the business name, a model is the type of car.
• More about handling a budget and not getting
  everything you want (aww.).
• 4X4 doesnt mean 4 times 4, it means that all
  four wheels on the car are working.
• That color isnt the only thing that goes into
  buying a car theres price and mileage and price
  and automatic instead of a joy stick).
• Blue is a very pretty color for a truck! ?

The Car We Finally Picked (Sorry Other Cars ?)

• We finally decided to pick Alexs 2nd Car Choice
  because theres more room for our friends (and
  luggage) if we all want to go somewhere. Plus, it
  was our cheapest car, and it has 4x4 (4 wheel
  drive). And we can do tailgate rides! ?

About This Project

• I think this project helps us to understand how
  it is in real life to bye a car, and that it
  isnt all easy. We learned about what different
  loans there are and how to figure out your
  monthly payments depending on how much your down
  payment is.

11
My First Car

• My first car is a 2002 Mitsubishi Eclipse SPYDER
  GT convertible (power).
• It is used and its miles are 32,666.
• It has a 2 wheel drive an am/fm CD player, air
  conditioning, power mirrors, and cruise control.

12
My second Car

• My second car is a 2004 Ford Mustang convertible
  (power)
• It is used and its miles are 37,975.
• It has power mirrors, cruise control, interior
  color is tan and leather seats, AM/FM stereo, and
  CD player.

13
My Graph
14
The Car I Chose

• In the end I chose the Ford Mustang because it
  was overall cheaper but they were both equal in
  quality so I chose it because it was cheaper.
• I also chose the 5 years at 9 loan because it
  was cheaper per month and I would be saving a
  total of 1,380.

16
The purpose, and what I learned.

• This project was about buying a car at a
  reasonable price and have to pay for it every
  month.
• I learned that buying a car is fun but you also
  have to pay money for it and you cant just buy
  any car you have to actually look at the price
  and the qualities of the car, so you know what
  youre paying for is going to last you. I also
  learned that the more new models are more
  expensive, and the more old models are less
  expensive.

17
Why I picked the cars I picked.

• I picked the two cars Mitsubishi and Porsche
  because I liked the way they looked and the
  prices were pretty good. The mileage on the two
  cars isnt very good though. The Porsche was
  121,000 on mileage, and the Mitsubishi was
  125,000 on mileage.

About the Project

• The purpose of this project was to learn how to
  use your money wisely. It also was about knowing
  that you dont need a brand new car. Even thought
  the new cars are cool you can still get the same
  car for used with a lower price.

20
The Future Car

• I picked this car because when I have a job it
  can get me to work. I like this car because it
  has 2 wheel drive, a CD- player, and the space
  which I can hold a lot of things.

21
The Second Future Car

• I picked this car because it has 2 wheel drive,
  has a lot of room and it is small. The car is
  cheap, but not as cheap as the 1st car I picked.
  I like this car because it has a CD player and it
  can get me to work.

23
The Car Was.

• I picked the Plymouth Neon because it was the
  cheapest car I could bye. I bought because it
  could get me to work and it was cheap. The car is
  white but I can always get a new color.

The Reason of Car Quest.

• I though the reason of Car Quest was to help us
  with choosing a car.
• In car quest we also learned how to find out the
  mouthy payments for a 3, 4, 5 year loan.

34
The First Choice

• My first choice for a car was a Ford Thunderbird.
• I chose the car because it had a 8 cylinder
  engine, automatic transmission, it is a 2 wheel
  drive, it a Turbo Coupe, and it only 1,400 for
  the car.
• Total miles on the car 175,000.

35
The Second Choice

• My second choice for a car was a Pontiac Firebird
  TRANS AM.
• I chose this car because it also had a 8
  cylinder, automatic transmission, it also is a 2
  wheel drive, its body style is a Hatchback, and
  it was only 9,999 for the car.
• The car only has 72,000 miles on the it.

36
The Graph
The graph is about the cars monthly payments.
37
The Final Choice

• For my final car I chose the Ford Thunder-bird.
• I chose the Thunderbird because it was cheaper
  than the Firebird and the monthly payment was a
  lot lower.
• But in the end, I dont really care what car I
  have. I just care about the cars history report,
  and the price.

Car quest was fun, but why did we do it?

• What I personally think was the reason for car
  quest was
• 1. To learn how to spend our money wisely
• and
• 2. To have fun with money management

40
Car Choice one

• 2000 Cadillac Escalade AWD
• I chose the Escalade because I like the style, it
  is has eight cylinders, its automatic, it has
  AWD, and it was cheep for its quality.

41
Second Car Choice

• 1997 Porsche Boxster
• I chose the porsche boxster because it is an
  eight cylinder, I like the stick shift because of
  the speed, and its a convertible.

42
The graph
43
The end

• If I had to I would pick the Cadillac Escalade
  because it is 1,000 dollars less, and it has a
  lot less miles.
• Even though it is not fuel efficient the extra
  1,000 dollars could be spent on gas.

45
What is Carquest?

• In this project we had to find a car that we
  could afford but doesnt go over a monthly
  payment of 350.00.
• I think that this project was to show us the
  steps of buying a car is not all that easy. I
  learned that when you buy a car there is a tax
  rate which could be 5 of your total. Then there
  is also a down payment tax and that you also have
  to pay for interest for the monthly payments. The
  monthly payment totals depends on how long you
  are paying. If you are paying longer your monthly
  payment will be lower, but overall you are saving
  money if you pay for a shorter period of time.

46
Mitsubishi Eclipse GS

• I chose the Mitsubishi because it was cheap, had
  a four person capacity (which I need for my
  friends), it has a sun roof, air conditioning and
  heat worked, it wasnt that old, and was not
  damaged in any ways.

47
Ford Mustang

• I chose the Ford Mustang because it had low miles
  on in, it also had a four person capacity, It was
  still cheap (not as cheap as the Mitsubishi), it
  had leather seats,
• and a liked how it looked.

48
Monthly Payments
49
Conclusion

• I chose the Mitsubishi Eclipse GS because it was
  newer, cheaper, and I liked how it looked better.
  
• I chose to go with the three year payment
  because I could afford it, I would be paying for
  a less amount of time, and I would be saving
  12,432 more then if I would go with the five
  year payment.

Carquest

• By Brenden Lopez

51
The Purpose

• In this project we had to find two cars that we
  could afford but the price couldnt go over 350
  per month. There was three different types of
  loans there was a 3 year loan, 4 year loan, 5
  year loan,. The more years you take to pay off
  the car the higher the interest rate is going to
  be.

52
The Cadillac

• I chose a Cadillac because they are my favorite
  kind of car and it has a lot of passenger room
  and I like to go on long trips. I also chose this
  car because the gas mileage is low and since I
  like to go on trips I want low mileage. Another
  reason I chose this car is because it has leather
  interior and I like leather seats.

53
The Infiniti

• I chose this car because there is low gas mileage
  and I want this car to last a long time. I also
  chose this car because it is a sports car and the
  color is cool. There is also leather interior.

About the Project.

• This project is meant to teach us about buying
  our first car. I learned about different loan
  types ,and the interest in for the loans. If you
  do a loan paid over a longer period of time the
  interest is greater. Then the total price is
  more. Also I learned that the price for cars are
  effected by the mileage.

75
My car.

• This car is a 2004 Pontiac Grand Prix GT2.
• 1.This car has a sun/moon roof.
• 2.A CD player.

What Car will I pick?

• A picked the GT2 in the end. I picked it since
  it was a newer model. I liked its cooler to. I
  think it is just a better car. I decided to do
  the five year plan. For the simple reason that it
  is the only way I could afford it. The others
  where higher then 350. I ended up saving a grand
  total of 0. Wow that is a big saving!!

The Purpose
The Purpose of this project was to find a car
that would cost less that 350 a month. You could
use the three types of loans to help you. They
are 3 year, 4 year, and 5 year. But the bigger
loan you take, the higher the interest rate is. I
learned how to figure out monthly payments, and
how to work with loans.

81
My 1rst choice

• My first car was a 2002 Porsche boxter
• It is a convertible.
• Leather seats
• 8 cylinder
• Exterior is blue
• cheap

My 2nd car choice

• My second car choice was a 2002 Ford Mustang. I
  chose it because,
• I like Ford Mustangs
• 8 cylinder engine
• Leather seats
• Red exterior
• Its cool
• cheap
