This activity is designed for an automobile buying unit in a high school business math course. The purpose of this activity is not to outline the entire process of purchasing a car from A to Z, but to point out a few items which a high school student ( or fullgrown adult)  probably would not consider. This activity is not intended to be a unit on automobile purchasing, but rather a supplement to it.
    There is not an answer key to either worksheet included in this activity since each student's responses will be unique to his or her ideas of a "first car" and the accessories that come along with car ownership (insurance, maintenance, etc.)
    Please feel free to make suggestions for improvement of this activity. This is my first attempt at making a web-based activity. It was put together during a three day summer workshop on Virtual Fieldtrips.
