Lesson 1 Buying a New Car

When buying a new car, there are a lot of decisions you have to make before you actually purchase. Often dealerships will give base prices for cars with option packages which increase the price. If the car of your choice is not in the parking lot you will also have to pay freight charges and taxes as well.

CARS OF TODAY

For each of the following cars:

1. Name the type of car (subcompact, compact, midsize, hybrid, SUV, truck, minivan)

2. Name the make and model of the car.

3. Describe the image they portray.

4. Describe what type of consumer might find the car attractive and why.

A B

C D

E F

G H

When buying a new car it is usually cheaper to buy the option packages than to buy the options separately. Keep in mind that it is usually more expensive to add options after you have already bought the car. Buy only what you can truly afford!

To Calculate the Cost of Buying a New Vehicle (use the following steps):

1. Calculate base price + options + freight

2. Subtract trade allowance

3. Add PST and GST

Example 1: Jesse wants to buy a brand new El Camino at a base price of $18 200. He adds option group 2 for $526. Freight on the car is $640. He can trade in his old Pinto for $1000. What is the purchase price of the car?

TOTAL PRICE =

LESS TRADE IN =

PLUS TAXES (GST & PST) =

PURCHASE PRICE =

Example 2: Jackie wants to buy a Toyota Celica which has a base price of $35 280. She will be charged $600 for freight and she wants the following options to be added: All Weather Mats ($103), CD Changer ($697), and Splash Guards ($86). If she trades in her old car for $3 000, what is the purchase price for the car?

TOTAL PRICE =

LESS TRADE IN =

PLUS TAXES (GST & PST) =

PURCHASE PRICE =

Assignment 1: For the following questions below the Freight Charge will be $850 and the federal excise tax for air-conditioning will be $100.

1. Prima buys a new two door Neon Sport Coupe with a base price of $17218. She pays $2490 in an option package plus a stereo system for $665. There is a freight charge and an air conditioning federal excise tax. How much will she pay for this car including taxes?

TOTAL PRICE =

LESS TRADE IN =

PLUS TAXES (GST & PST) =

PURCHASE PRICE =

2. Anthony decides to buy a new Honda Accord. He pays the base price of $24 673 and chooses an option package for $2 614. He adds an automatic transmission for an extra $695. There is a freight charge and there is an excise tax for air conditioning. Anthony receives a trade-in allowance of $4 500 for his old car. How much will he pay for his Accord including taxes?

TOTAL PRICE =

LESS TRADE IN =

PLUS TAXES (GST & PST) =

PURCHASE PRICE =

3. Alexa wants a new Ford Focus. The base price is $22 995 plus freight. She would like power windows and power locks for an extra $300 and $285, respectively. How much will she pay for the car?

TOTAL PRICE =

LESS TRADE IN =

PLUS TAXES (GST & PST) =

PURCHASE PRICE =

4. Sean buys a new light duty truck with a base price of $18 059. He orders the décor package for $354, bucket seats for $235, and a larger engine for $1 120. Freight and air-conditioning charges apply. Find the total cost for this truck if he gets a trade-in allowance of $2 600.

TOTAL PRICE =

LESS TRADE IN =

PLUS TAXES (GST & PST) =

PURCHASE PRICE =

Lesson 2: Leasing a new Vehicle

When you lease an item, you make monthly payments to cover the depreciation of the item over the duration of the lease, taxes on the amount of the depreciation, and interest on the outstanding balance of the full purchase price. The price of a lease depends on three factors: the residual value, the interest rate offered for the lease, and the length of the lease. Down payments may also affect the lease.

Residual Value:____________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________

Depreciation:______________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________

InterestRate:_____________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________

________________________________________________________________

Lease Term: _____________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________

Advantages of Leasing

Disadvantages of leasing

Example: The cost of a Toyota Four Runner is $54 000 plus taxes (freight include in this price). The monthly lease payment is $459 plus taxes for a lease term of 36 months. For leasing, a down payment of $4 050 is required. As well, a refundable security deposit of $500 and the first month’s payment must be paid when the lease is signed.

Leasing this vehicle:

1. Total monthly payment = monthly payment x 1.12 (price + taxes)

2. Total Lease Payment: Down Payment =

Monthly Payment x # of Months =

Total Lease Payment =

3. Calculate the residual value at the end of the lease if the residual value rate for this type of vehicle is 75% after three years.

Residual Value = Cost of Vehicle x Residual Value Rate (then add taxes)

4. If you decide to purchase the vehicle at the end of the lease the total cost would be the Total Lease Payment plus the Residual value.

Total Cost of Purchasing Leased Vehicle =

Lesson 4 Fuel Costs

Fuel costs vary across North America. Fuel costs can even vary within the city.

COST (in $) = Litres of Gas X Cost of Gas per Litre (in dollars)

ex. How much does it cost to fill a 40L tank at $1.21/L?

COST PER LITRE (in dollars) = Cost (in $)

# of litres

ex. What is the cost / L if a 50L tank costs $58 to fill?

# OF LITRES = Cost (in dollars)

Cost / L (in dollars)

Ex. How many litres does it take to fill a tank that costs $60 to fill at a price of $1.10 / L?

Distance Driven

***The odometer on your car shows how far you have travelled.

Distance Travelled = Final Distance – Initial Distance

Ex. Before you leave on your trip your odometer reading (in km) is 10 346.1. After you return, your odometer reads 11 854.3. How far did you travel?

Assignment 4

1. Complete the following chart.

| |Litres |Cost/Litre |Total Cost |

|a) |90 |$1.05 | |

|b) |18 |$1.20 | |

|c) |51.3 |95 cents | |

|d) |87.4 |$1.11 | |

|e) |58.2 | |$65.06 |

|f) |82.7 | |$79.10 |

|g) | |$1.08 |$45.60 |

|h) | |$1.13 |$53.80 |

|i) | |98 cents |$49.21 |

2. Determine the distance travelled using the odometer readings given below.

a) Initial = 039287.6 Final = 040324.3

distance travelled =

b) Initial = 076543.2 Final = 076956.7

distance travelled =

c) Initial = 001279.8 Final = 001454.3

distance travelled =

d) Initial = 003883.3 Final = 007375.2

distance travelled =

e) Initial = 123914.5 Final = 124721.3

distance travelled =

3. A car requires 52 liters of gasoline. If the cost of gasoline is $1.20 per liter, calculate the cost to fill the tank.

4. A bill for gasoline was $21.50. If the cost of gas is $1.41 / liter, determine the number of liters purchased.

5. A car consumed 70 liters of gasoline which cost $89.25. What was the cost per liter?

Lesson 5: Fuel Economy

Fuel economy also varies with each vehicle. Small cars are going to be more fuel efficient than the larger trucks and SUV’s.

*** FUEL ECONOMY IS EXPRESSED AS L/100KM ***

FUEL ECONOMY = Litres of Gasoline Used x 100

Km Driven

Ex. Shane can drive 485 km with a full tank of gas before he runs out. If the car can take 36 litres of gas, find

a) the fuel economy for the car.

b) the cost of fuel per 100 km if the cost per litre was $1.14.

Total cost for fill =

Cost per 100 km =

Assignment 5

Determine the fuel economy on the following trips. The odometer readings are:

Initial Final Liter Used

a. 71 416 71 739 57.6

b. 23 165.2 23 721.9 54.8

c. 87 158.1 88 031.4 97.2

d. 15 632 16 341 37.2

e. 135 714.8 136 028.3 43.9

#2) Brigette travelled in her minivan to Churchill to watch the polar bears and kept track of her gas purchases. For each part of the trip, she would like to know: (i) km driven, (ii) cost of each fill-up

and (iii) fuel economy in L/100km.

She left on June 29th with a full tank of gas and an odometer reading of 51 372.0

|Final Reading |Km driven since last |litres |Cost per litre |Cost of fill up |Fuel economy in L/100km|

| |fill | | | | |

|a) 51 570 | |27.2 |$1.12 | | |

|b) 51 727 | |27.2 |$1.13 | | |

|c) 51 947 | |41.8 |$1.08 | | |

|d) 52 280 | |51.3 |$1.17 | | |

|e) 52 565 | |52.2 |$1.20 | | |

Example work for a)

i) Km Driven = 51 570 – 51 372 = 198 km ii) Cost of fill up = 27.2 x 1.12 = $30.46

iii) Fuel Economy = 27.2 x 100 = 13.7 L/100km

198

#3) Using the information from the chart in question 2, answer the following questions:

a) What was the total quantity of gas purchased?

b) What was the total cost?

c) What was the average fuel economy for the whole trip?

Lesson 6 – Costs and Repairs and Maintenance

Repair costs include the following three things:







Example: Melissa took in her vehicle to get serviced. She had the oil and oil filter changed. She also had two headlights and her muffler replaced. The costs were as follows:

Four litres of oil at $2.50 per litre, one oil filter at $6.25, two headlights at $30.25 each, and a muffler for $45.00. The time required for servicing was 1.4 hours. The shop rate for labour was $62 per hour. How much is this service going to cost Melissa?

Lesson 7: Buying a Used Vehicle

For your info: ** A new car depreciates by about 20-30% during the first year. It then continues to depreciate at about 5 – 10% every year after that. **

What to do when you are looking to purchase a used vehicle:















Cost of a Used Vehicle:

Use the following steps when calculating the cost of buying a used vehicle:

1. Start with the cost of the vehicle

2. Diagnostic Test and Repairs (+ GST and PST) ?

3. Add PST on the book value of the car (i.e. book value x 0.07)

4. Add safety check ($40 + GST) ?

5. Add Lien Search ($3 no tax) ?

6. Total Cost (Add # 1-5)

For your info: **When buying a used car from a dealer you must pay GST and PST.**

Example: Kevin wants to buy a used car from a private owner for $2100. He will need to do a lien search for $3 and get a diagnostic test from a mechanic for $25. He also needs to do $400 of repair. The book value of the car is $2600 and the car will need to be safetied ($40). How much will the car cost Kevin?

1. Cost =

2. Diagnostic Test and Repairs =

3. PST on Book Value =

4. Safety Check =

5. Lien Search =

6. Total =

If Ryan bought this car from a dealer for $2600, how much would it cost?

Assignment : Answer the following questions. Use the example done in class to guide you. SHOW ALL WORK!!

1) Russ found a car that he would like to buy through a private sale. The price of the car is $1985. A friend examined the car and recommended that Russ install a new battery for $129 and get a tune-up for a cost of $85. The safety check will cost $40 plus GST. The book value for this car is $2200. How much will this car really cost Russ?

2) Emily found a car in the Auto Trader that she wanted to buy for $8595. A diagnostic check was done for $35 and a lien search for $3. A safety check was done for $40 plus GST. The book value of the car was $8000. What did Emily pay for the car?

3) Kelseigh goes to a dealer to buy a used car. The price for the car is $12, 430. How much does she really pay?

4) Jared has a choice of two cars. One is a private sale for $4465. A diagnostic check would need to be done for $35 and a lien search for $3. She will have to buy two new tires for $275. A safety check will need to be done which costs $40 plus GST. The book value of this car is $5000. The other car can be bought through a used car dealer on sale for $4900. Which is the better buy and by how much?

Lesson 8: Vehicle Insurance

GUIDE TO AUTOPAC

Using the guide to Autopac booklet, answer the following questions:

1) List 3 factors that affect what you pay for Autopac.

2) List 3 criteria for earning a merit premium.

3) Describe Autopac’s definition of “pleasure passenger vehicle”.

4) List 2 major communities in each of Autopac’s 4 territories.

5) Why is Autopac cheaper in Territory 3 compared to Territory 1?

VEHICLE INSURANCE

Basic Insurance

1) $500 deductible on all driver at fault accidents

2) Third Party Liability (TPL) coverage ($2 000 000)

- damage to someone else’s property

- injury to another individual from an accident outside of Manitoba

If you choose to have a lower deductible ($300, $200, or $100) you must pay more in insurance but less when you have an accident.

Finding Insurance Costs

Use the following steps:

1) Select the correct sheet for the territory where you live.

2) Decide your purpose for driving (Pleasure/All-Purpose)

3) How many merits?

4) Which deductible do you want to have? ($500, $300, $200, $100)

5) Go to the rating group.

6) Find cost for TPL

7) Add TPL to Insurance.

**Be sure to add cost for basic coverage ($500) if you want a smaller deductible.**

Ex.1 Rob lives in Winnipeg and has a 1992 Thunderbird (rating group 6). He has 3 merits, and wants a $500 deductible policy with a $2 000 000 Third Party Liability. The vehicle is used for all-purpose driving.. Find his insurance costs.

Ex. 2 Jeff lives in Brandon, Manitoba and has a 2002 Dodge Neon (rating group #25). He has no merits and wants a $2 000 000 TPL policy. He will be driving the car to and from University each day. Find his insurance costs for:

a) $500 deductible b) $300 deductible

b) $200 deductible c) $100 deductible
