I like the title ” Should You Be Buying A Car Right Now?” better. Good idea.
Good idea to incorporate some of the graphs you found in your research. For this it seems right to include statistics in a visual way. Good idea.
BTWay what is your message — IS IT A GOOD TIME TO BUY? You should know the answer now bc you have done the research! You should be able to state the answer, after all it is your message. SO BE SPECIFIC NOW IN THE OUTLINE
In fact you should have more specific points here in the outline.
Have you studied the HOW to write a Feature article sources I have in the Unit 3 Assignment?
Q: Are there differences in reasons to buy a new or used car now? Will you say something about that?
I cannot tell from this outline if you really got an answer to your own research question. And I think you should have a specific answer now if you did sufficient research and reading.
I think you should move the opinion line in paragraph 2 to paragraph 3 so it could just be your own personal opinionated paragraph.
Found a good article for you:
