Talk about when you bought a new car.
I bought a new car 3 years ago.
I had been driving my older car during over seven years.
The time had come to get a new one.
I viewed car ads and got pointers from people I know.
I finally chose the make and model.
Then, I learned more about a car at a car dealership.
I was able to take it for a test drive.
I was very satisfied.
I chose the optional extras I wanted on the car, and they quoted me a price.
Half of the amount I paid upfront as an advance.
I signed a contract for installment financing to pay the rest.
I received the car around two weeks later.

Talk about the pros and cons of used cars.
Everyone considers buying used when they get a car.
The biggest advantage is that the price is cheaper by a large margin, compared to getting a new car.
The price drops a lot just one year after a car rolls off the lot.
That's what makes used cars such a good deal.
Since the car was driven by others before, it might be a little worse to wear.
These days, there are apps for buying and selling used cars.
It's a lot easier to check the going rate.
It's important to get professional help and inspect a car closely before buying it.
You should check the model year and the odometer reading, and kick the tires.
