Man: What did you do over the holidays?

Woman: Not much. I bought a new car though.

Man: Really? What did you buy?

Woman: I bought a new Lexus. It is so nice.

Man: Can I ask? How much did you pay for it.

Woman: It cost about 50 thousand dollars. I took out a loan, though.

Man: Wow, you paid a lot! I think I spent about 5 thousand pounds for my car, but I bought it used.

Woman: Yeah, I really wanted a new car. I think I got what I paid for, though.
