Well, I'm thinking of buying a new car and I'd like some advice Sure, yes Had you got any particular make in mind? I'm interested in a leader I've had one before and liked it, but I haven't really made up my mind Sure, we've got various models Right, what about the engine size? Any ideas? The one I've got at the moment is a 1.2 litre engine but I find it a bit slow on long journeys I'd like a bit more power this time A 1.4 should do I don't think I need a 1.6 or anything Right, well I think the model you're looking at is the Max Here's a picture Oh, yes, have you got one in? Yes, I'll take you to have a look at it in a minute I'll just get a few more details Is there anything else to do with the engine? What kind of gear change do you want? I presume you want a manual? I'd want automatic, I've never driven a car with manual gears Right Well now, here's the colour chart for the Max Have you given that any thought? This blue is very popular at the moment Yes, it is nice, I like blue What's it called, Royal? Yes But actually I think I prefer this lighter shade here, Sky Yes, that's popular too I think I'll go for that You might have to wait a week or so for that colour but I assume that'll be OK? Oh, yes, fine Well, we can go outside and you can have a good look at one and perhaps take it out But first, can I just ask you about finance? The cash price is going to be somewhere in the region of 7500 How would you like to pay? Are you in a position to pay cash or would you need credit? I'd like credit, provided the terms are reasonable Well, you can discuss that with my colleague in a moment We have various arrangements And would you be interested in us taking your present car as part exchange? Yes OK, fine So, I'll just need some details from you and then we can do a valuation Is that OK? Fine, yes Before you hear the rest of the conversation you have some time to look at questions 5 to 10 Now listen and answer questions 5 to 10 Could I have your full name? Wendy Harries That's H-A-R-R-I-E-S And is that Mrs, Miss, Ms? It's Doctor, actually Oh, right And your address? 20 Greenbanks Is that green spelled as in the colour? Yes, that's right OK Alton Is that O-L-T-O-N? Not quite, it begins with an A, not an O Oh yes, that's in Hampshire, isn't it? That's right And do you know your postcode? Yes, it's G-U-8-9-E-W Do you have a date and phone number? Well, I work at the hospital but it's a bit difficult to get hold of me I can give you a number just for messages and then I'll get back to you when I can, is that OK? That's fine It's O-7-9-8-2-5-7-6-4-3 Fine And about the car you have now, what mate is it? It's a Conti Do you know the year or the model name? I think it's 1996 and it's called a Lion, like the animal Then it must be 1994 because they brought out the fox after that Oh right, yes Mileage, roughly? I'm not sure, I know it's less than 70,000 OK What colour is it? It's grey, metallic grey Right And one last thing, what sort of condition would you say it's in? I'd probably describe it as reasonable Do you need to see it? It's parked outside Not at the moment, no Perhaps you could call in one day next week That is the end of Section 1 You now have half a minute to check your answers Now turn to Section 2
