3 year loan- PV=28,332.12
4 year loan- PV=37,090.70
5 year loan- PV=45,527.41
The car that I found costs $40,998 and I also calculated what I could afford for my monthly payments.
3 year- monthly payment of $1,205.89
4 year- monthly payment of $921.09
5 year- monthly payment of $750.46

With .375 interest - Monthly payment of $375.54
(375.54) * (12)(5)= $22,533.4
Overall full payment - $22,533.4

Mrs. O'Connell with have a full payment of $24,516
Mrs. O'Connell should buy her car paying the .375% interest because she will be saying $33.06 on every one of her monthly payments. Although it would take her longer to pay off the payments, she always has the option to pay more than the minimum monthly payment. Over all Mrs. O'Connell will be paying $22,533.4 to purchase and own her new car.
