You only need forcus: (for output 1)

Consider the first example below of borrowing $15,000 for 30 months. As the buyer drives off the

lot, he still owes $15,000, but the car has dropped in value by 10% to $13,950. After 4 months, the

buyer has made 4 payments, each of $500, and the car has further depreciated 3% in months 1 and 2

and 0.2% in months 3 and 4. At this time, the car is worth $13,073.10528 and the borrower only owes

$13,000 

AND note

month_pay = loan / months (15000 / 30 = 500) 

I lost many time because think down_payment is month_payment ($500)

while True:

    months, down_pay, loan, n = map(float, input().split())

    months = int(months)

    n = int(n)

    if months < 0:

        break

    depreciations = [-1]*(months+1)  

    for _ in range(n):

        month, depreciation = map(float, input().split())

        month = int(month)

        depreciations[month] = depreciation

   

    car_money = (down_pay + loan)*(1-depreciations[0])

    owe = loan  

    if (owe < car_money):

        print("0 months")

    else:

        month_pay = loan / months

        for i in range(1, months+1):

            if depreciations[i] == -1:

                depreciations[i] = depreciations[i-1]

            owe -= month_pay

            car_money -= car_money * depreciations[i]

           

            if (owe < car_money):

                if (i>1):

                    print(i, 'months')

                else:

                    print(i, 'month')

                break
