To determine the best financial decision, we need to calculate the total cost of each option over their respective periods and compare them.

1. Option A: Buy New
- Monthly payment for 60 months: \[tex]$338 - Upfront cost: \$[/tex]2,500
- Monthly running cost for 60 months: \[tex]$275 - Total cost = (338 60) + 2500 + (275 60) = \$[/tex]39,280

2. Option B: Lease New
- Monthly payment for 36 months: \[tex]$229 - Upfront cost: \$[/tex]3,925
- Monthly running cost for 36 months: \[tex]$275 - Total cost = (229 36) + 3925 + (275 36) = \$[/tex]22,069

3. Option C: Buy Used
- Monthly payment for 36 months: \[tex]$250 - Upfront cost: \$[/tex]2,000
- Monthly running cost for 36 months: \[tex]$225 - Total cost = (250 36) + 2000 + (225 36) = \$[/tex]19,100

After comparing the total costs, Option C (Buy Used) has the lowest total cost at \$19,100, making it the best financial decision among the three choices.
