A: Could you take a few minutes and see if there are any problems with this used car that I am thinking of buying?
B: I am happy to help. Just pull up and we'll give it a good look.
A: I don't know much about cars.
B: We need to look inside and out for signs of an accident or major damage. Also, we need to look for wear on the tires.
A: If I go online I can also check to see if the car has been involved in a major accident.
B: Yes, you can check the history of the car online. Next, we need to turn on the engine and take a look at the belts and hoses.
A: Will you take a drive with me to check handling?
B: A test drive would be good. But first let's make sure that the turn signals, radio, lights, and seats work properly.
A: On a test drive, what should I look for?
B: We are checking for solid braking and good overall handling.
A: I appreciate you helping me figure out what to look for.
B: My pleasure. This seems to be a solid car and a good choice for you. |
