Many car purchasers choose to buy cheap, used vehicles in order to spend as little money as possible. Unfortunately,
cheap, used vehicles break down more often and require more extensive maintenance, including the replacement of
essential parts. Often, in such cases, short-term savings are outweighed by greater long term expenses. The author
is arguing that ______
A. The money saved by purchasing cheap, low-quality products often eventually results in an increase in the total
amount of money spent by the owner.
B. Knowledge of the added long-term expenses of cheap, low-quality products will lead to a decrease in sales of
these low-quality products.
C. Many consumers who purchase cheap, used vehicles will decide to trade them in for more reliable vehicles.
D. Most car purchasers cannot afford the added expense of higher quality, more reliable cars that will not require
extensive maintenance.
E. Consumers will not save money by purchasing cheap, used vehicles because they will need to buy their own auto
maintenance tools to save on maintenance costs.
