car loans and insurance

/in /by

The most common methods for financing automobiles are through car loans or car leases. Car loans are personal loans provided by banks and credit unions and can be repaid over a period of years. However, with a car lease, a person never owns the car. The bank or credit union selected purchases the car and rents it to you for a fixed period. Once the fixed period of the lease expires, the financial institution takes back the car and sells it. In this assignment, you will compare the differences between car loans and car leases.

A car loan is one of the most significant investments made by a typical American family. An alternative to the traditional auto loan is the auto lease.

Using the readings for this module, the Argosy University online library resources, and the Internet, respond to the following:

  • Examine the differences between a car loan and a car lease. Consider the following factors:
    • Advantages and disadvantages of both leasing a vehicle and purchasing a vehicle
    • The process you will personally follow in making a decision on taking a car loan or leasing your next car
  • Explain how leasing versus financing a new automobile changes your insurance options/requirements for the automobile. Consider that auto insurance requirements differ by state.
  • Describe the requirements specific to your state and whether insurance requirements differ on a financed purchase over a lease.
  • Identify other variables that influence one’s insurance premium.
  • Describe the actions one can take to ensure that auto insurance premiums are not unnecessarily high.

Write your initial response in 200–300 words. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.

1) How did the peace settlement between the “big three” lead to the future conflicts of the cold war?

2) What was the Truman Doctrine according to the book and how did it influence Cold War policy?

3) How did Russia change between World War II and the end of the Cold War? (Hint” the answer to this question can be found throughout the chapter but look particularly at the sections between “Reform and De-Stalinization and “Foreign Policy and Domestic Rebellion”?

4) After watching the Duck and Cover video posted in this Module, what do you think the general mood of the United States was at this time?

5) What led to rapid decolonization after World War II when it came to the Middle East?

6) How did women’s Roles expand during the period of the Cold War?

7) The Cold War was primarily between the US and the USSR, but it still effected the world apart from those two countries. Do you think that this greater global connection would have been possible if the two World Wars had not preceded it? Use evidence from the book to support your answer. (Hint: This is an opinion question, you can’t get it wrong unless you do not provide enough evidence to support your conclusion).

Please come up with an outline of your essay and provide your sources at the end. Remember that you need at least three books (not your text book) and two other sources that can be whatever you want as long as it is a sound academic source (Wikipedia will not be accepted as legitimate).
