Task

Congratulations!

 

You have either just passed or are soon to pass your driver's exam, and have a license to drive in the State of Georgia!  You now have a large task in front of you - getting your first car.   

This webquest will have you join a team, which together, based on the role you choose to take, will come up with a decision around:

Which car? (new, used, or just keep taking the bus?)

                             

 

How will I pay for it? (lease vs. purchase, vs. finance)

                                                 
 

When can I afford to purchase it? (saved enough money?)

                                        

 

How can I pay for it on-going? (finance charges, (if any), gas, insurance, maintenance)

                                        

 

Your team's task will be to use the internet to do research, and come up with your recommendations.  Remember - there is no right or wrong answer to your exercise, just good examples of critical thinking, and the ability to do a well thought out budget.

In addition, your team will need to deliver the following Microsoft deliverables:

Graphing calculators will be made available to your teams, if it helps with the data modeling.

Good luck!
