Do you plan to buy a car, Stephen? |
|
Stephen
|
Yes. I’ll be starting work in two months, and I am considering driving myself. |

Elena
|
Oh, no! You’d better think twice. A car is expensive. |

Stephen
|
I know. That’s why I’m thinking of buying a used car. |

It’s not just the cost. I mean, there are additional expenses such as parking, gasoline, taxes, insurance, and maintenance. |

I hadn’t thought about those things. |

Besides, your office is downtown. The subway is much faster than driving there. |

You are right. Driving to work is not a good idea. But I still want to buy a car. |
