How book a vehicle w/cash down and finance charges - what is the cost that is entered as the fixed asset and depreciated?

Debit Vehicle for the total cost
Credit Cash for the amount paid
Credit Notes Payable for the difference.

For depreciation it depends on what method you are using and the useful life of the asset.

Hi Pready -answered my question partially - the S/L is for 5 years. Also, is the f/chrg included in the total vehicle cost? How is the f/chrg booked?
