1 Ch. 10.2 Equity and Depreciation: New Cars and Used Cars Objective: 1.Learn how to select a used car 2.Estimate the value of a used car 3.Understand equity and depreciation

2 Imagine You worked very hard for three years and managed to save a few thousand dollars, just enough for a used car. You search online for a used car at the price range that you can afford. You find your car, you like it, and buy it! A few weeks later you notice that the car odometer had been tampered with. Throughout the first year the car needed a new radiator, an alternator, a fuel pump, and a rebuilt transmission.

3 1. Equity and Depreciation When you buy a car and finance it, the bank owns the car until you finish paying for it. As one pays the car off, they increase their equity in the car. Equity – your gain in the financial worth of the car. Ex: If your car is worth $8000 but you owe the bank $3000, your equity is $5000. Ex: Or, if your car is worth $15,000, and you owe $20,000, you have negative equity.

4 1. Equity and Depreciation But what is the car worth at any time? Well, a car loses value as a it gets older, until it is worth nothing. Unless, it is a classic. Depreciation – the loss of value in a car. Depreciation begins immediately for a new car and it is more gradual in a used car. *some cars retain value better than others.

6 2. Where to buy A great place to start is the internet. Kelley Blue Book and Auto Trader are fast and easy. Dealers- new car dealers usually keep the best cars that have been traded in, so you can expect a to find a good used car at a new car dealership. The problem is that they are fairly expensive! FTC (Federal Trade Commission)- encourages buyers to have all claims to be put in writing and to have a mechanic check the car.

7 2. Where to buy? Private Sales – are always more risky. The FTC regulations do not apply. Private sells are “as is”. You have no guarantee. *it might be a good idea to take a mechanic Car Rental Companies and Auctions – rentals are usually kept in good condition. But, always think twice about buying a car that has been driven by many people. Cars bought at auctions are “like a box o’ chocolate”.

8 2. Where to buy? Inspecting a car – a good inspections will cover three types of inspections: on the lot, on the road, and in the garage. * Hire a mechanic if you don’t know @#$& about cars, even if you do hire one.

9 Example 1 Records for one standard model of car indicate that during 10 years it depreciates by the following percent of the original cost. 25%, 20%, 12%, 10%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 5%, 4%, 3% Form a table and a graph to represent the depreciation.

11 MONTHLY PAYMENT FORMULA

12 Example 2 Bryan decided to buy a Mitsubishi “Spyder” Eclipse for $19,490. He makes a down payment of 20% and obtains a 3 year loan at an APR of 6%. Make a table to compare the equity of the car to the amount owed.
