W: How’s the car search going7
M: Not so good. Didn’t you tell me that when cars get older they get cheaper!
W: Sure! Why, what happened?
M: I called in response to an ad yesterday for a very old car. It was priced somewhere over $15,000! Do you think I can get anything for $3,500?
W: Sure. But what kind of car was it?
M: A 1964 Mercedes 230SL.
W: Yes, it’s also a classic, and is getting more expensive every year. Take good care ot’ it, and in a few years it would be worth a lot more. But you have to have enough to buy it first!
M: Well, I don’t.
W: Look, don’t be discouraged. I just heard about something I wanted you to know about. My uncle’s mother-in-law is 86 and she can’t drive anymore, but she’s got a 1978 Buick Century that would be perfect for you.
M: Is it quite good? How much do you think she wants?
W: It’s really very good; ’only 43,000 miles on it, and most of those come from her driving down to Florida each winter.  You could buy it for $1,150, a lot less than the $3,000 or so you were thinking of spending.
M: When can I see it?
W: How about right now?
