Llad Phillips9 Buying or Leasing a Car Your choice of vehicle Your choice of vehicle  Is it what you need?  Is it what you want?  Is it what you can afford?  Loss of value through depreciation of your car  physical wear and tear  decrease in resale value: paying a premium for newness

Llad Phillips10 Economic Concept: Consumer Durable, e.g. car, refrigerator perishable good: strawberries perishable good: strawberries  experience with Farmers’ Markets  Haymarket Square in Boston  Why did institutional buyers, such as convents, buy on late Saturday afternoons? durable good: car durable good: car  resale value declines each year  How does this affect choice of which car to buy?

Llad Phillips17 Economists Assume You Know What You Like Lingo: economists call these consumer tastes or consumer preferences Lingo: economists call these consumer tastes or consumer preferences

Llad Phillips18 Economists Assume You Can make Comparisons example 1996 Altima vs Ford Taurus example 1996 Altima vs Ford Taurus  compare specifications or attributes  we know price for a bundle of attributes e.g. horsepower, miles per gallon, etc.e.g. horsepower, miles per gallon, etc.  dealer invoice (with destination charge)  Altima: $14,641  Taurus: $17,171  manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP)  Altima: $16,219  Taurus: $18,545

Llad Phillips19 Economists Assume You Can Make Tradeoffs Do you prefer a Ford Taurus or an Altima plus $2,326 = $18,545 - $16,219 ? Do you prefer a Ford Taurus or an Altima plus $2,326 = $18,545 - $16,219 ?  If you prefer the Ford, then you buy the Taurus  If you prefer the Nissan plus the cash, then you buy the Altima  If you are indifferent between these two options or bundles of goods ( car plus cash), then you might buy either one
