Buying a Car Which car is the best

Buying a Car “Which car is the best buy? ”

When buying a car there are some variables to consider regarding the price. • These variables include: • Cost of initial car. • Miles per gallon (MPG). • Price of gasoline.

“It all adds up” • • • Formula for the price of a car Given – Miles traveled a; – Approx. price per gallon b ; Variables; – Price of car x; – Miles per gallon y; Outcome: With the given price per gallon “b” one could determine how much the total car would cost after “a” amount of miles driven.

Formulas (Initial Price of Car) + (Approx. Gas Price)*((Miles Driven)/(Miles Per Gallon)) = (Total price of Car)

Comparison Miles traveled 80, 000 Approx. Gas price 2. 80 BMW 325 i 26 MPG $30, 900 80, 000 Miles 2. 80 Per Gallon Acura RSX-S 24 MPG $23, 845 80, 000 Miles 2. 80 Per Gallon After 80, 000 miles which car is a better buy? To check the validity of the information click on the car name

The Breakdown • Acura RSX –S • BMW 325 i • 23, 000 + (2. 80)*((80, 000/23)) • 30, 900 + (2. 80)*((80, 000/26)) » 33, 178 » 39, 515

Conclusion • With the rise in gas prices it is important to note the Miles Per Gallon (MPG) the car gets. • If the gas price was much higher in our previous example the better buy would be the BMW because it has a higher MPG average.
