Case study: Barbara and the Corolla Wagon
Hi there,
The car I previously purchased from
you in 2013 was in an accident and is
now deemed a write off for insurance.
I need to replace it and I’m looking for
a white corolla wagon.
Can we please take this one for a test
drive this Sunday? I have the value of
the car for a deposit.
I look forward to your reply.
Thanks, Barb
