Automobile Replacement Analysis
You are considering the purchase of a new car. You presently own a red 2013 Chevrolet Camaro 2door LS Coupe with 60,000miles. It has 3.6 liter V6 engine with manual 6 speed transmission. It is in clean condition with all optional equipment. You purchased the car in July 2013 for $33,750. The loan for the car has been paid off. You estimate your current operating expenses to be $280 per month for gas, $160per month for insurance, and annual maintenance and repair costs average approximately $1250. You think that you will need a brake job next year at a cost of $475, and then three years from now you would have to rebuild the transmission at a costof $3200. If you performed these repairs, the car would last fivemore years after the transmission rebuild without any other major expenses. You estimate you would sell the car six years from now and the trade-in value of this current vehicle will be 45% of today’s trade-in value.
You are considering trading in this present car for a new 2015car (you decide what car you want, but the challenger car cannot cost more than $25,000). You estimate that you could sell the new car in six years for 40% of the purchase price. You must develop estimates for annual operating costs for the new car, which include estimates for the monthly cost of gas and insurance and annual maintenance and repair cost. You can Google several Internet sites to get estimates of maintenance and repair costs.
