okay what did you buy
okay a Ford Explorer a a Ford Explorer
i'm sorry what
oh really
yeah one of the new ones
yeah
and um i'd i'd probably buy another this is the first American vehicle i've owned so i would probably purchase another one
uh-huh
um i would be more selective in the dealership that i purchased it from but as far as uh the quality seems to be there um it's quiet it's it handles well um
yeah
but i believe i'd get that or a Porsche one of the two
oh really
no not
um
if i had the money i think i would love to own a a BMW
and why would that be
i don't know i from what or either that or Mercedes just because they're put together so well it seems like they last forever
what's wrong with the Volvo
oh i don't know they're they're not as nice looking
oh
oh uh meant to me i don't know i'm sure there are some that are but everyone i've seen is kind of plain but
what
what what city are you calling from
Sherman
oh
where're you
i'm Dallas um
Dallas
yeah
BMW or Mercedes yeah well that's uh that's um
if i had money um had the money i mean that's just i know i never would own one but uh
i don't know i like my actual favorite cars is were uh like the Ford Thunderbirds of nineteen eighty five i really like that style body style
um-hum
but i don't own one of those neither
what do you presently drive
um Mercury Topaz
um fun
cheap taste cheap taste in cars okay
well there nothing wrong with those uh
yeah they're all right it's it's a good car i mean i've never had any problem with it
they're they're nice vehicles
they're nice vehicles nothing wrong with those it um
it's just everybody has their own taste but man the Mercedes are expensive my wife has a Volvo and it it's nice i mean you know it's okay an
sorry i roped on Volvos then
huh
sorry i roped on Volvos then
oh no no no no no no no it it i i kind of wish we would have maybe gone for the GL rather than the DL but because they it is the safest car on the road um oh yeah
oh is it see i don't much about them i guess
yeah they're the safest that's the reason why we mainly got it we got white and it's the safest four door and it's good for if you have a family which we do we just we just dominated everyone out and so it's it's uh um
yeah
you know they're kind of low to the ground after driving the Explorer you know i presently i used to have a two eighty Z and i'm a tall guy and and uh
they're hard to get around in traffic to see because you can't see a car ahead of you but they're fast as lightning and all that crap but the Explorer i mean you're sitting up on top of everything and you can really see real well and i just it's it's so comfortable and
really
uh-huh
and uh so you're what are your feelings about American versus European cars
um
i like anything besides Japanese course everything has Japanese parts in them anymore i don't like Japanese cars but uh
why not
European i don't have have any i mean those are the kind i usually end up liking the most
American cars a lot of people say they they don't last long but i've never had any problem with
um my Mercury or my Cougar my husband has a uh Cougar and he's never had any problem with it either so
i don't know
that's the way it goes i guess
well what are your i guess this is your first time to buy American so
yeah i was real hesitant but it was
yeah
i don't know uh i mean i think European cars are great course you've got to have metric wrenches and stuff and they're easy some some of them are easy to work on a Volvo being a four cylinder is very easy to work on uh excellent warranty i mean just unbelievable warranty
really
and and uh course Ford isn't too bad i think Chrysler would probably make a good vehicle uh but all of it has to do in my opinion with the service and the attitude of the service of the dealership
yeah
yeah
i wouldn't send my dog to buy a car from Middlekauff Ford
there's Middlekauff Ford in Plano
where
okay
their just their attitude is just slimy and and uh i've written a a letter to Middlekauff and i've told them that matter of fact i got another letter last night from the Quality Ford Division
they're still concerned about my attitude and it it will never change about that place and uh
but uh anyway that's my own personal comment i guess but
yeah this girl that works for me just bought a car down there and she they they had a problem with they uh
took their Camaro in to get it traded and they they hadn't signed any papers and they had all ready uh taken it in to paint it and everything and everything was stolen out of it and the people um wouldn't reimburse reimburse them for anything
Middlekauff wouldn't she needs to find herself a lawyer she'd she'd come out like a champ on that one
yeah
so i've heard some stuff about them but um
so have have you been using well anyway
what
that was i was asking you some questions about the telephone and how long and how many have you been doing but that's they they don't want to hear that but
oh just just about a week
is that all a week
yeah yeah
good Lord i think i started in January or February oh God i've i'm like twenty some phone calls
so
really
oh wow
that's why i i wasn't sure if this was the second time around or what
well look i've enjoyed speaking with you
yeah you too
and keep smiling
okay thanks bye
bye bye
