Finding a car and making payments

Answer the following questions in a word document.

1) Name 10 features in a car that are important to you.

2) List these in order from most important to least important.

3) Using car company websites, find a car that satisfies at least 5 of your favourite features. Print the specification page for the car and highlight these features. You can choose any company, but here are a couple:

ford.ca
toyota.ca
mazda.ca
dodge.ca

Find out how much the car will cost you.

4) Use this site to figure out a loan that works for you, given the following:
-the price of the car that you found in 3)
-you will be paying 5.4% interest
-you need to keep your payments under $400/ month

5) how long will you loan take to pay off? What is the total amount that you will pay over this time?
