wow, it that your sports car?
yes, do you like it?
I love it! I used to always want to drive a green jaguar. Is it in good condition?
it looks good on the outside, but the inside is a different story. It needs a lot of servicing before it can go out on the roads again.
what's wrong with it?
well, first of all, it needs a new engine, which is extremely expensive.
when's the last time you had it serviced?
it must have been a few years ago now.
I thought all cars needed regular servicing on a yearly basis.
they do. Once my son was born, there was no reason to drive this car anymore. It's only a two-seater, you know!
what else is wrong with it?
the heating controls don't work anymore, so it always feels like it's about 100 degrees in the car, even in the summer!
anything else?
the brakes don't really work that well anymore either.
why don't you get it all fixed?
it costs more than you think to run a car, especially when there are so many things wrong with it!
