RENEE CARTER
Required:
1. How useful is this information in arriving at a decision?
2. What additional information would Renee need before deciding whether or not to
buy this car?
3. Assume that Renee does purchase the car, and subsequently finds that the car has
mechanical problems that will require $2000 to fix. What should she do, given
that she does not have enough money to pay for the repairs?
1. Renee needs to buy a small car costing a maximum of $10 000. The information
in the advertisement identifies a car in this price range. Many of the features
listed appear to describe features that relate to personal taste. The information
provided describes the physical appearance of the car. The advertisement seeks
only to market or promote the car. The information is useful in that it establishes
that some of the features appear to meet with Renee’s requirements.
3. If this situation arises, it is likely that she will have to pay for the repairs of $2
000 herself. She should establish whether there is a warranty attached to a
second-hand vehicle? If so, will this cost be passed on to the car dealer? If she
has insufficient funds to meet the unexpected expense, she will have to borrow the
money (loan from the family or borrow using a credit card). In fact, the car would
cost her $11 800 rather than $9 800.
