Georgia Martin has decided to study medicine at a university in Adelaide. She has arranged to stay with a family on the north side of the city. In order to get to and from the university, she decides she will need to buy a car, costing a maximum of $20000. She searches the Internet and comes across the following at Car Sales:

2. b. List extra information that Georgia should ascertain before deciding whether to buy this car.
3. c. Assume that Georgia does purchase the car, and subsequently finds that the car has mechanical problems that will require $2000 to fix. Discuss what she should do, given that she does not have enough money to pay for the repairs.
