Tariq's short-term goal is to purchase a car, but his current situation does not provide the means. Which of the following choices would most likely provide the greatest longer-term benefit with the least risk and the lowest explicit cost?
| 
 Borrow a car  | 
||
| 
 Lease a car  | 
||
| 
 Get a car loan  | 
||
| 
 Save for a car  | 
||
| 
 Buy a car anyway  | 
Since Tariq's current situation does not provide the means to purchase the car, buying the car is not an option for him.
Borrowing a car may not provide the greatest long term benefit as it has inherent risks too.
Leasing a car does not have the lowest explicit cost.
A car loan may not provide the greatest long term benefit as the car is a depreciating asset.
Answer is Save for a car
