Andy would like to buy a new car but must complete a two-year commitment to the Peace Corp before he will drive the new car. The current price of the car Andy wants to buy is $32,000, and the dealer expects the price of a similar new car to be $35,000 in two years. If Andy can earn an annual interest rate of 4% on his money, should he buy the car now or wait for two years? Why? Note: Storage costs if Andy purchases the car are $0. Please limit your considerations to the factors offered in the answer choices.

Buy now because if Andy invests the $32,000 today it will only increase in value to $34,611, and this is less than the cost of his desired new car in two years.
