What you've missed is the frequent recommendations on this forum to
ditch Essentials in favor of Deluxe. I doubt Essentials will do what
you hope.

car purchase price $18,000
downpayment = $2,000
Car loan $16,000
Essential budget
Car asset account "Chevy" set up ok
car loan citibank setup ok

1) what is correct category for check issued for downpayment? At present I
have it as Transfer: Chevy, but on the Chevy account setttings I have to
indicate purchase price as $16,000 (not the $18,000 it cost). Is that correct
or should I indicate some other category for the downpayment?

2) Citibank loan setup ok, and each payment show up as category "Loan
Payment : Chevy car loan", but I can't make this categgory appear in
Essential budget so each payment is considered in my monthly budget.

what have I missed??
TIA
