Suppose you wish to buy a car today. You have two choices, buy a new car for $10,000 or buy a used car for $6,000. The new car has an economic life of 6 years and you expect that it can be sold at the end of 6 years for $2,000. If you buy the used car, you plan to sell it in 3 years and expect to receive $600. Also, you expect that the used car will require $400 more a year than the new car for maintenance. Assume your marginal tax rate equal to zero. If your opportunity cost of capital is 10%, would you choose the new or used car?
