Calculating the Cost
• Joe has decided to purchase an automobile• Negotiated price - $7,500• Down payment - $2,500• APR – 8%• Time Period – 3 years
• What is it really going to cost?

(Principal loan amount * APR * Time Period = Interest Paid
• Principal loan amount: 5,000
• Time period: 3 years (3*12 = 36 payments)
• APR: 8%
• $5,000 *.08 * 3 = $1,200
• Estimated interest paid: $1,200
• Step 2: Find the total loan amount• $1,200 + $5,000 = $6,200
(Interest paid + principal loan amount = Total loan amount)

Beware of “Bait and Switch” TacticsIt’s not unusual for dealerships to use “bait and
switch” tactics to get consumers in the door, only to find that what they thought was true, isn’t.Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud used in retail sales but also employed in other contexts. First, customers are "baited" by merchants' advertising products or services at a low price, but when customers visit the store, they discover that the advertised goods are not available, or the customers are pressured by sales people to consider similar, but higher priced items ("switching").
Things to watch for:• 0% Financing• Manufacturer Rebate• Outstanding prices
