You need to purchase a car, but don’t have the money to buy it outright. Therefore, you’ll have to borrow money for a loan. Your current situation is this:
• The car you want to buy costs $11,999
• You have $5500 saved for a down payment on the car.
• The dealer offers add-on interest loans for 7% per year, for 1, 3, or 5 years.
• You want to keep your car payments under $250 per month.
