    The amortization formula relates the principal and the loan payment by

    A = Pi / (n (1 - (1 + r/n) ^ (-nt)))

    You have

    532 = P*0.071 / (12 * (1 - (1 +.071/12) ^ (-12*6))) = P*0.017097

    P = 532/0.017097 = 31,116.45

    This was the amount financed, so the original price is 3700 higher.

    The cash price of the car was $31,116.45 + 3,700 = $34,816.45
