Having saved $\$ 1,000$ from her part-time job. Sasha responded to an ad for "Like New! OneOwner Used Cars." A salesperson for A- $1$ Used Cars watched Sasha wander around the lot until she was attracted to a bright-red compact car. Sasha told the salesperson that this car looked just right for her. He replied, "You've made a good choice. This is an excellent car. It will give you many years of good service."

Although the sticker price was $\$ 6,550$ , the salesperson thought that he might be able to get Sasha a $\$ 50$ discount because she was "a nice young kid getting her first car." After conferring with the sales manager, he explained to Sasha that she could have the car for $\$ 6,500$ and that the dealer could arrange to finance the car and sell her all the necessary auto insurance.

Sasha knew that she would need a loan and that auto insurance was required by law. Her excitement increased as it appeared that all her needs could be met in one stop. Sasha saw a sticker on the car's window indicating that this car came with a warranty. The salesperson told her that A- $1$ Used Cars would make any repairs to the engine for damage not caused by her misuse for $30$ days or $10,000$ miles, whichever came first. Now she felt confident about using all of her savings as a down payment. After all, what repair bills could she have with such a nice car accompanied by a terrific warranty?
