I am a Year 11 student who lives in Wellington and have been saving the money earned from my part time job for three years to buy a car. In this time, I have managed to save $10,000 which is enough to purchase a good first vehicle for someone of my age. I have chosen to buy the Gray Suzuki Swift 2008 over the Silver Mini Cooper 2003 from TradeMe, and will be justifying it in this report. Information such as the running costs, insurance, etc, support my choice, as well as others that are non-financial will be discussed here. A significant reason as to why I am choosing the Suzuki Swift 2008 over the Mini Cooper 2003 is the cheaper cost of $8,000 as opposed to $9,990. The $1,990 difference in price will be helpful in kickstarting my savings …show more content…
The one difference is that the Suzuki has steel wheels, and the Mini has alloy. As a student, the wheels of the Suzuki will be better for me as it is takes great force to bend, and tends to be heavier, lowering the center of gravity so I have more control over the acceleration, resulting in a lower chance of speeding. The Mini’s alloy wheels are not much too disadvantageous, but still has its downsides of use. It is not as high-strength as steel, and is more attractive to thieves because it looks better physically. Steel wheels are also 70-80% less expensive to replace than alloy wheels, making it a better choice. An important part of purchasing a car for me is the insurance, because it will affect me in the long term depending on how careful I am when driving. According to my research, it will cost $50.51 per month ($537.26 annually) for third party, fire and theft with AA Insurance for the Suzuki Swift. The Mini Cooper on the other hand, will be $57.62 per month ($612.73 annually) which I have also chosen to be third party, fire and theft with AA Insurance. As shown in the figures, the Suzuki is the cheaper option with the $75.47 per year

MINI’s successful brand performance,
Gravel crunched beneath the tires of my father’s ’95 Chevy Silverado, the same way it had every time we drove up the steep, tortuous path to my grandmother’s home on Christmas Eve. There she was waving excitedly, dressed in her floral nightgown and fuzzy slippers as the snow floated downward around her. She corralled us inside away from the cold. Like I was as light as the snowflakes just beyond the door, she lifted me up into her arms. I laid my head against her chest as she guided my father and me into the living room adorned with wreaths and candles. I closed my eyes and inhaled the aroma of peppermint and freshly baked cookies as my grandmother held me tight. Lights from the glistening tree illuminated the room in red and green.

In this paper I will write about pros and cons on purchasing a car or a SUV. The type of car and SUV I will write about are Nissan Sentra and Nissan pathfinder. The reason I chose these type is because I am familiar with both of them.

I sat patiently in the 2015 Toyota Corolla, while the minutes ticked by without a quiver of my lips. The quiet air gave me time to think about what I was soon going to see. My excitement transcended the awkwardness and I was left with a smile, telling Bill I was thrilled to have this opportunity. Bill is Esther’s wife, whom is second in command at the DEA. As we approached the building, I could feel the butterflies dancing in my stomach. We passed security and were cleared to enter the building. I grabbed my pen and paper and pushed past the doors, greeting Esther with a warm smile.

Every big purchase demands a little research before you buy it. Even a used car costs a significant chunk of change, so you don't want to throw your money around without first educating yourself on the details of a purchase. You might also want to compare and look at the prices of the same car from different lots to make sure you're getting the best deal. Sometimes car buyers have bought a car without comparison shopping and found out later they overpaid a couple thousand dollars.
Well that is wrong. Yes the alternative can be cheaper at times, but not better for the environment. For example, according to True car a used 2015 gasoline powered vehicle, (2015 Jeep Compass) was listed for $9,233 compared to a used 2015 battery powered car (2015 Nissan Leaf), which was listed for $12,998. Now yes that will save you $3,765 for now, but think about the future. If you care about yourself, your kids, and your kids kids, you would go with the Leaf. According to “Why electric cars are our Future,” by Bill Destler, electric cars are a lot more green than the alternative. He states “Electric vehicles are greener than gasoline powered cars...electric vehicles that consume only a third as much energy in operation are inherently greener no matter what fuel is used to generate the electricity they use.” This evidence alone shows the numbers are there and electric cars are better for the environment by a long shot and could ultimately make the world better in the long

“Marketing communication is an ever changing field. New theories, new techniques, cultural changes and technological advances all combine to create a dynamic environment within which marketers try to ensure that their messages get through to their target audiences” (Blythe, 2006, p.2). Fill (2005) argues that marketing communications is the way in which organisations reach their target audiences or it is an “audience-centred activity” (Fill, 2005, p.9).
There is this obvious difference between cars and motorcycles when they are spotted stopping at a red light and standing next each other. Yes, the size of a motorcycle is smaller than a car. Generally, a car can accommodate four or more people. On the other hand, a motorcycle can only carry two people. It brings
