Process

Process: "How you do what you need to do..."

N-Hibit, CEO P.I.C.K. My Ride

The four clients that need your help are listed below. Read the descriptions for each one. Then you will need to find a vehicle that meets their needs. You will have to consider make, model, year, style, and budget for each one. Be mindful, but don't be hesitant. Remember, the reputation of the company is built on fast, friendly service. After you have read each profile, you may want to make some notes for yourself before you begin looking. Oh yeah... Don't forget; when you finish finding wheels for all four people, then look for a ride for yourself. * See the Process Steps below for a guide to help you complete your task.
	Gerardo - can afford to spend up to $475 per month. He wants a truck with a V-6 or V-8 engine for hauling equipment and all his work stuff. He wants a domestic truck (Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, GM), not a foreign one. He is not picky about the color, although he does not really like green. So he would like to stay away from a green truck. He is not opposed to a used truck, but if he has to get a used one, he wants at least a 2003 or newer.
	.
	La Monique - can afford to spend up to $ 575 per month. She is interested in finding a Honda or an Acura. She is not picky about the particular model. She would be happy with either a two door or four door car. She does have to commute a long way to work each day, so gas mileage is a major area of concern for her. She would like to get a car that gets really good gas mileage. She would prefer something in the 30 m.p.g. range if she can find one. She only wants a new car. Her favorite color is red, so she would like to find a red car. However, if a red one is not available, she would be okay with black or silver as her second and third choices.
	.
	Michel - can afford to spend up to $625 per month. He wants an SUV with an automatic transmission. He really would also like to get one that has leather interior and power windows and power locks. If he cannot find an SUV with leather interior, then he would settle for cloth. His color choices are: gold, tan, silver, or black. He will accept any of these colors, as he likes all of them equally.
	.
	Sun Le - can afford to spend up to $400 per month. He wants to drive a two door sporty car. He does not care what kind of car he buys, just as long as it is sporty and fast looking. He would take a used car, but not any made before 2002. He would like to have a stick shift or (standard) transmission, but he will take an automatic if he has to. His color preferences are in this order: blue, green, silver, black, white.

	You - pick out a ride that will suit your individual taste and style. Remember though, you have to pay for it! Consider all the possibilities, but you might not want to get too extravagant.

EDMUNDS Guide | KELLY BLUEBOOK Guide

3. Then you will want to report your information clearly so that the client understands. You may write it in a Microsoft Word report, create a Microsoft PowerPoint slideshow, build a Microsoft FrontPage web page, outline a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, use a Microsoft Publisher template, or choose any other software program that you would like to use as long as you clearly communicate your findings.
