This project builds financial literacy as students explore interest rates and financing terms to compare a new and used vehicle purchase of their choice.

Students explore the true cost of vehicle ownership by calculating and comparing vehicle purchase prices and purchase price including interest. Students then select a vehicle for purchase and justify their selection using evidence from their research and calculations.
