- No, this a more realistic version:
-
- "Excuse me, my car starts, but the latest model starts so much easier,
- and runs a lot smoother, using less gasoline."
-
- 'True. We put a lot of development into the new model. For a fee, we
- can upgrade your older model to the latest rev.'
-
- "Terrific! Here's my check for the new model."
-
- 'Thanks. We will get it prepared for you in 6 weeks. Go home and wait for our
- call.'

-
- "Is it ready yet?"
