Wednesday Mrs. Patterson took her Personal Finance class to Friesen Ford in Aurora for a tour of their car dealership. The students picked some vehicles that they liked off of the website and Louie Soto, one of the sales representatives, pulled the information for those vehicles for them. He went over the information that he pulled, pointed out some things to look for when buying a new or used car, talked about interest rates, and so much more with the students. The students were also able to walk the lot and look in/ get in some of the vehicles. Thank you Louie and Friesen Ford for giving these students some information to help them make better car buying decisions in the future!
