Shewhacks me with if I want a different car we canhave this one repainted and put on new slipcovers. The transmission and AC have both beenreplaced and it has less than 100,000 miles onit. She remembers the engine is rated for200,000 miles and the tires are good for another50,000 miles. How does she recall thosestatistics? I can't win for losing with thiswoman.
