Question

You will need to to spreadsheets for the following situations-

1- Should you lease or should you buy a car comparison sheet? Use any auto makers promotions (for same vehicle) in regards to leasing, n, m, down payments, i, payments at signing, etc.,

2- Compare the cost of two 2018 vehicles (Honda Fit vs Toyota Prius). You can compare the different trims also. Use fuel efficiency standards from the automaker. Use $3.39 /gallon for fuel. Assume 12,000 miles per year driven, 4 oil changes per year (look at dealers websites for cost).. No salvage , no market value, 10 years analysis period. A tire change (all four) at year 8. Which car is the better deal using both NPW and EUAW analysis.

Thus, as can be seen that the present value of total cash outflow for Toyota Prius is higher thus, it seems that Honda Fit would be better choice to reduce the overall cost of maintenance.
