My husband just likes manly cars. I'd like to ask, though, if we buy at your 4S dealership here, are there any discounts?

wǒmen zhèngzài gǎo dōngjì guānhuái de huódòng, mǎi yī kuǎn chē sòng yī tiáo wéijīn.
We're doing a 'Winter Care' promotion right now. If you buy a car, we'll throw in a scarf.

shénme? zhǐ sòng wéijīn? gāngcái wǒmen qù de nà jiā dǎ jiǔwǔ zhé.
What? Only a scarf? The place we just went to offered a 5% discount.

A: 那跟九五折还是差很多。
nà gēn jiǔwǔ zhé háishì chà hěn duō.
That's still not nearly as good as 5% off.
C: 但我们的售后服务,零配件的质量和维修技术是其他普通经销商无法比的。

Of course you can. Please come over here and register your information.

ài, wǒ zǒng gǎnjué zài sì S diàn mǎichē huì bèi zhǎn.
Hey, overall I feel like if you buy a car at one of these 4S shops, you'll just get ripped off.
