Family Financial Plan Project – Part 2 – Buying a Car and a House You have just been hired as a Level 1 Financial Coach at UNT Financial Services. Now your first clients, Latoya and Sam Kroger, have asked for your assistance putting together a simple family financial plan. They are both 27 years old and Latoya is pregnant with their first child. They plan to have at least 2 more children over the next 5 years for a total of 3 children. They want to make sure they are taking the right steps financially. You will assist them and make recommendations to help them improve their situation in a video presentation. Latoya and Sam have the financial goals of buying a house and buying another car. They want your help and recommendations. Remember you will enter your numbers into Canvas to check them and you will deliver your recommendations for all parts in your video presentation at the end of the semester . Purchasing a Car: Latoya wants to buy a new car, so they do not have to share the truck. Latoya has narrowed her choice to a new BMW 230i from BMW of Plano. She wants your recommendations on buying new or used. In your presentation you need to present options available in DFW between new and used models no older than 2019 and fewer than 40,000 miles. Latoya and Sam have the following options for buying new: 2024 BMW 230i Sport Final price (including taxes and fees): $54,231 BMW Financing Options Term in Months 48 60 72 Down Payment 10% 10% 10% Interest Rate 2.99% 3.99% 6.49% Monthly Payment Total Interest Paid Total Cost Or she can take a $4,000 Cash Allowance and use the Credit Union Texas Federal Credit Union Financing Options Term in Months 48 60 72 Cash Allowance $4,000 $4,000 $4,000 Down Payment 5%* 5%* 5%* Interest Rate 6.04% 6.54% 7.14% Monthly Payment Total Interest Paid Total Cost * after Cash Allowance Auto Questions: Which option is the least costly? Most costly? If they pay off the F150, how much could they swing in car payments? Which option would you recommend based on your answer? What options does Latoya have in the used car market?

Is there anything else they might want to save cash for that goes along with buying a new house?
