Students will research guidelines for purchasing their first vehicle from an assigned print article. Then students will formulate their own personal guidelines for purchasing and finally select three vehicles for possible purchase with a rationale as to how each of these selections would be consistent with these established guidelines.

Students will learn what advanced directives are and how they could apply to their own lives later in life. Students will identify the impact on families as one makes advanced directive decisions.

Students will understand vehicle loan guidelines and calculate a 48 and 60 month loan for monthly and total payment costs. Students will rationalize which loan would best suit them based on personal circumstances.
