Then you have complete records (checkbook stubs and cancelled checks) at hand. Here's a system some people use to make the task even easier: Each time cancelled checks are returned, they pencil identifying symbols on them according to category -- "H" for household, "M" for medical, and so on. That way, they are always able to get the information they need from their records "in record time." • • * X ' The first reason many people give for financing a car with a bank Auto Loan is low cost.
