Car Salesman: Well, it's only three years old? Woman: And what's the mileage? Car Salesman: Uh, let me check. Oh yes. 75,000 miles. Woman: 75,000 miles?

Uh, I can't seem to get the door open. [Ah, it's okay.] It could be broken. Car Salesman: Ah, just give her a little tap. Ugh. Now she's opened. Woman: Great. A door I have to beat up to open. Car Salesman: Hey. Get in and start her up. [Woman tries to start the car ...] Car Salesman: [Um] Well, it's probably the battery.
