Five sessions on buying a first car — the financing, the negotiating, and the used-car checks.
Kenji Morales can afford about $200 a month. The dealer says “no problem: $199 a month”, and the catch is seven years of payments, $4,681 in interest, and two years of owing more than the car is worth.
Your student compares three real loan offers, builds an out-the-door price with and without add-ons, answers a payment-first sales pitch, and checks four used listings for the things that should stop a sale — a rebuilt title, a rolled-back odometer.
Every payment is computed with the standard amortisation formula. The monthly payment is not the price, and this unit makes that concrete rather than telling it.
