A new car is expensive. It costs an average of over $20,000 to purchase one. It’s also necessary to insure it, maintain it, and put gas into it. One good thing about a new car is that it’s much safer than an older car. It has many safety features. It has airbags for all of the passengers in case of a crash. It can detect cars that are too close to your car. It can even park itself. Soon it might be possible to own a car that drives itself without a driver behind the wheel. Many car buyers finance the purchase of a new car with a car loan. It takes four, five, or six years to pay off the loan. For some people it’s worth it because a new car is usually very reliable. It doesn’t break down and it doesn’t need a lot of repairs. It provides the owner with peace of mind. O O O O O O O O O O O O O O Now you try it. Read the paragraph above.
