📝🔊 Terry says, “Not bad. Hey, the reason I'm calling is that I heard from Veronica that you're looking for a used car.” He begins by saying, “the reason I'm calling is...” So of course, to tell Samantha why he is calling at that time; he had heard from Veronica, a friend that Samantha is looking for a used car.

✳️ Samantha: Yeah, I'm hoping to find something reliable but cheap.
📝🔊 And Samantha says, “Yeah, I'm hoping to find something reliable but cheap.” To be “reliable” means that you can rely on it that you can depend on it. Reliable and dependable mean the same, basically. It means it's something that you don't have to worry about, it's not going to break down on you. She's also looking for a car that is “cheap.” And, of course cheap means not expensive, not very much money.

✳️ Terry: Well, I have just the thing for you. My brother has a 2001 Ford he's trying to sell. It has low miles, it's in good condition, and he's in a hurry to sell it.
📝🔊 Terry says to Samantha, “Well, I have just the thing for you.” This is sort of a… kind of a common expression, but it's also sort of a joke. “I have just the thing for you” would be something that a salesperson, for example, might say to someone - a salesperson that you might not trust, that you might think is dishonest. It's an old expression and so when people use it now, they use it sometimes to make a joke. “I have just the thing for you.” Literally, this expression means…or actually, this expression means I have the perfect thing for you. When someone says I have just the thing for you, I have the perfect one, the one that is right for you.

📝🔊 Well Terry says that his brother has a 2001 Ford. And, notice we say “a 2001 Ford,” meaning a car made in 2001. Ford, of course, is a famous American car. And, he has a Ford or a 2001 Ford he's trying to sell. Terry says the car “has low miles, it's in good condition, and he's in a hurry to sell it.” When we say a car has “low miles,” we mean that it has not been driven very much; it may only have 10,000 or 20,000 or 30,000 miles on it, meaning it's been only driven that amount. Which means, it should be “in good condition,” which is the second thing that Terry says, that the car is “in good condition.” When we say something’s in good condition, we mean that everything is working, that there are no problems with it, that it's not going to break. His brother is “in a hurry to sell it.” And, of course, to be “in a hurry” means that you want something to happen right away.

✳️ Samantha: Your brother, huh? That's not the same brother who tried to sell me a stereo system that fell off the back of a truck, is it?
📝🔊 Well, Samantha says, “Your brother, huh?” Notice the use of the word, “huh?” It's indicating here that she is not so sure, that she doesn't necessarily trust his brother. And we use that sometimes when we are trying to tell the other person that you're not sure, you don't trust what they are saying or you don't trust this particular person. So, if someone says, “Hey, I want you to meet my friend. He’s tall and he's handsome, and I think you will fall in love with him.” And a girl says, “Your friend, huh?” - meaning she's not really sure, she doubts that this person is as good as he says. Well, Samantha says, “Your brother, huh? That's not the same brother who tried to sell me a stereo system that fell off the back of a truck, is it?” - meaning, is this the same brother who tried to sell me something, get me to buy something earlier; in this case, it was a stereo system. And a stereo system would be a radio with speakers, CD player, and so forth. This stereo system, Samantha says, “fell off the back of a truck.” When we say something “fell off the back of a truck,” this is an informal expression to mean that it was stolen, that someone stole it and is now trying to sell it again or sell it to make money. It's sort of a humorous expression, sort of a joke, to say, “It fell off the back of a truck.” The idea is that a truck would be driving down the road and one of the boxes might come out of the truck and someone would find the box in the street and go, “Oh, look, a brand new stereo!” Well, of course, that doesn't happen. And that's what Samantha is suggesting: that maybe this car, like the stereo, is stolen, that someone had stolen the car and is now trying to sell it.

✳️ Terry: No, no, no. That's a different brother. Listen, this is a really nice car. It has a leather interior, power windows and doors, gets great gas mileage, and the tires are practically new. And, it's a steal at $7,000.
📝🔊 Terry says, “No, no, no. That's a different brother” - meaning, he has a dishonest brother who steals things, but this is a different brother. Then he says, “Listen, this is a really nice car.” And, of course, “listen,” is a way of getting someone's attention, particularly in an informal setting. You say, “listen,” means pay attention to what I'm going to say. “This is a really nice car.” he says. “It has a leather interior.” “Interior” is the inside of a car. And when someone says they have a leather interior in their car, it means that the seats, for example, are made out of leather, that they have leather coverings on them. The other type of interior you could have would be a “cloth interior,” where the seat is not made out of leather, it's made out of something else.

📝🔊 The car also has power windows and doors. To say something has “power windows” means that they are automatic, they're electric. You don't have to put the window up by hand or lock each door by hand. You can just press a button and they all lock. Most cars have power windows and doors nowadays, although my car a few years ago did not. But that's another story. Well, this car also gets great gas mileage. “Mileage” is how many miles you get per gallon. And to have good or great gas mileage means that the car runs many miles on one gallon of gas. For each gallon of gas, you get 30 miles, or 35 miles, or 40 miles. That would be great gas mileage. Most cars get about 20, 25. If you drive a big car, a big truck, you may only get 10 or 15 miles per gallon. That would be very poor gas mileage. Well, this car has great gas mileage and the tires are practically new. When we say the tires are “practically new,” we mean they're almost new; they're not exactly new, but they're not very old, either. That's the use of the word “practically” - it means “almost” here.

📝🔊 Terry says that “it's a steal at $7,000.” “It's a steal” means that it's a very, very good price, it's one of the lowest prices you will find. Someone says, “Oh, that's a steal.” That means it's almost like you are stealing it, you are taking it from someone, it's such a low price.

A “lemon,” of course, is a fruit, right, that you can eat, but here, when we say, “that car is a lemon,” we mean it's a car that has lots of problems, that you should not buy it. Samantha says, “She doesn't want to end up with a piece of junk.” Of course, “junk” is like garbage, something you would throw away.

✳️ Terry: Come on. Would I steer you wrong?
📝🔊 Terry says, “Come on. Would I steer you wrong?” That expression, “Come on” means the same as “don't joke with me” or “take me seriously.” We might also say something like, “Be serious, come on” - means the other person is saying something that is not reasonable, that isn't fair. Terry says, “Come on. Would I steer you wrong?” “To steer someone wrong” means to influence them in a way that they would make a bad decision or they would make a wrong decision. To “steer,” literally, means to direct, usually a car or some sort of moving vehicle, like a plane or a train or a bus: “to steer” it means to direct it. So that when you get into the car, if you're the driver, in front of you is the “steering wheel” – and it’s a round wheel that you use to steer, to move the car left or right, or to keep the car going straight. Well, that's the verb, “to steer,” here that we're using. But the expression “to steer” someone wrong means to direct them or to influence them in a way that would end up being a bad situation for them.

✳️ Samantha: Well, it won't hurt to go see it and to give it a test drive.
📝🔊 Samantha says, “Well, it won't hurt to go see it and to give it a test drive.” The expression, “it won't hurt (to do something)” means that she's not excited about doing it, but there's no problem in her doing it, she's not committing herself. She's saying it would be okay for me to do that. She wants to go and give it a “test drive.” A test drive is when you are thinking about buying a car, you go and you drive it first for maybe 10 minutes, or 20 minutes, or 30 minutes to see if you like it before you buy it. That's a test drive.

👩🏻 Samantha: Oh, hi Terry. How's it going?
👩🏻 سامنتا: به، سلام تری. چطوری؟
👦🏻 Terry: Not bad. Hey, the reason I'm calling is that I heard from Veronica that you're looking for a used car.
👦🏻 تری: بد نیستم. به این خاطر زنگ زدم که از ویرانیکا شنیدم دنبال یه ماشین دست دومی.
👩🏻 Samantha: Yeah, I'm hoping to find something reliable but cheap.
👩🏻 سامنتا: اره، امیدوارم بتونم یه ماشین خوب و مطمئن ولی ارزون قیمتی پیدا کنم.
👦🏻 Terry: Well, I have just the thing for you. My brother has a 2001 Ford he's trying to sell. It has low miles, it's in good condition, and he's in a hurry to sell it.
👦🏻 تری: خُب، دقیقا همون چیزی که میخواهی، من دارم. داداشم یه ماشین فورد مدل 2001 داره که میخواد بفروشتش. ماشینی که کم رونده شده، بدون عیب و نقض فنی و داداشم عجله داره که زود بفروشتش.
👩🏻 Samantha: Your brother, huh? That's not the same brother who tried to sell me a stereo system that fell off the back of a truck, is it?
👩🏻 سامنتا: داداشت، ها؟ همون داداشت نیست که سعی میکرد یه سیستم پخش صوتی استریو رو که مال دزدی بود، بهم بندازه، اون نیست؟
👦🏻 Terry: No, no, no. That's a different brother. Listen, this is a really nice car. It has a leather interior, power windows and doors, gets great gas mileage, and the tires are practically new. And, it's a steal at $7,000.
👦🏻 تری: نه، نه، نه. این داداش دیگه‌‌امه، گوش کن، این واقعا ماشین خوبیه. روکش چرمی داخلی داره، میزان مصرف بنزینش عالیه و تایرهاش تقریبا نو هستند. و قیمتش مفته، 7 هزار دلاره.
👩🏻 Samantha: How do I know it's not a lemon? I don't want to end up with a piece of junk.
👩🏻 سامنتا: چطوری بدونم ماشین قراضه‌ای نیست؟ نمی‌خوام یه تیکه اشغال دستم بمونه.
👦🏻 Terry: Come on. Would I steer you wrong?
👦🏻 تری: ای بابا، من بهت دروغ میگم؟
👩🏻 Samantha: Well, it won't hurt to go see it and to give it a test drive.
👩🏻 سامنتا: خُب، ضرری نداره برم یه نگاهی بهش بندازم و آزمایشی برونمش/تستش کنم.
👦🏻 Terry: Trust me. You won't be sorry.
👦🏻 تری: بهم اعتماد کن، پشیمون نخواهی شد.
👩🏻 Samantha: We'll see about that.
👩🏻 سامنتا: حالا می‌بینیم چطور ماشینیه.
👩🏻 Samantha: Hello.
👩🏻 سامنتا: سلام
👦🏻 Terry: Hey, Samantha. It's Terry.
👦🏻 تری: سلام سامنتا، تریم/منم تری.

✳️ Culture Note
⚜ Many U.S. cities do not have good public transportation systems. They do not have the subways, buses, and trains that are often found in other countries. This means that owning a car is essential or very important to most Americans. More than 90% of all American families own at least one car. Even those who do not make very much money usually have a car.
⚜ Since cars are very popular among people of all levels of income, you will often see cars in very poor condition. Those with lower incomes will often buy older cars, sometimes 10 or 15 years old. Each state regulates or controls car ownership and sets the rules for what your car must have so that you can drive it. Most states require, for example, that you test your car every few years to see that it is not polluting. This is called a “smog check.” “Smog” is another word for pollution (actually, a combination of “smoke” and “fog”), and “to check” means to investigate or look at. In order to renew your car’s permission to drive, you need to have your car checked.
⚜ However, these checks do not include the other parts of a car, such as the doors or windows or paint. The police will sometimes give a ticket or a fine to someone who has something missing from their car (such as headlights), but this does not happen very often. For this reason you will often see cars that need to be repaired but that are being driven. Of course, there are also many rich Americans who drive the newest cars available.
