car. One of these cars is to the right of you.

car.

Several minutes later.
C:I like the car.It's comfortable. The steering and the brakes work
well. What about a trade-in?

to drive it around the block.He could check out your car.He'll
tell me what he thinks about a trade-in.

not been in a single accident.I've taken good

price and the trade-in.As soon as you can give me your ultimate price,I'll
talk it over with my family.I definitely need a new car.
