So there I was over the pit in Licensing Office awaiting the one Licensing Officer on duty who was doing everything…..inspection of T vehicles, transfers, changes and registration of new/Roll-on Roll-off vehicle. He was in the office checking documents.
A character who I have seen many times approached me, after well scoping out the 2013 Sylphy. The car is immaculate, doing 7,463 actual kms.
"Hommuch dat car goin' for boy ?"
"I eh check up de figures yet nah, buh is about ah hundred and fifty, ah hundred an fifty-two." I said.
"I jess buy ah new one fuh ah hundred an' seventy-five."
"Well, dey have some difference between de Sentra dat Massy selling' an' de Sylphy. De Sentra have ah 1600 an dis one have ah 1800 engine". I said.
'My car ha' plenty speed. Me eh wah more dan dat !"
"Dis have push Start/Stop." I said.
" Me eh wah dat nah ! If something go, I prefer de Key !".
"Dis come with reverse camera" I said.
" Me eh like dat"
There we go again with the fella trying to show me he got more for his money.
He was now musing loudly, "Twenty five thousand more, and I get ah bran' new car with warranty. It have controls on de steerin' and rims too !"
I would have liked to explain to him that the tax bracket on the Sentra and Sylphy are different due to the engine size, but I saved my words. If he got a better deal, so be it.
Now he is telling me he wants to put on projector headlights !! Then he may even want to install the wood-grain panels !
He may even start liking Start/Stop, Dual AC and reverse camera too.
Oh well…………………………
Peace.
RR.
