Question 1 • Personal Finance

Fido wants to buy a new car. He will need to get a car loan. Fido decides to wait for a few months until his credit history improves. Which explains whether Fido is making a sensible decision?

Answer
A
Fido’s decision is sensible because the cost of the car loan should be less if his credit history improves.
B
Fido’s decision is sensible because the selling price of the car should be less in a few months.
C
Fido’s decision is not sensible because he needs the car right away.
D
Fido’s decision is not sensible because it does not matter if he buys the car now or in a few months.

Explanation

A stronger credit history can help Fido qualify for a lower interest rate on his car loan. That means he may pay less in interest over the life of the loan, so waiting can be a sensible choice. The car’s selling price is not necessarily going to be lower in a few months.
