John Vanderaart Column Auto in the repair, continued part 2

You remember that car in the repair. That lasted 1, 2, 3, 4 weeks and then I received a phone call: “The repair was not yet successful …” After asking, it turned out that the electronics component to be repaired somewhere in the transport appeared. The same electronics part would be new about 1800 euros excluding assembly and VAT. “But that must be ordered and then we will talk about 3.” I let myself be transferred to the showroom. And indeed I was dealing with a seller who understood it completely. What do you still make that? There was – I had checked that – a considerable trade -in prize for the old car that apparently ‘entered into the trade’. With regard to the engine of the new car, I was certainly: “Mild hybrid.” In the Volksbuurt where I live, you don’t want to charge your car because of a lot of (!) Too few (!) Charging points. After all this unwanted misery, my mood got a great boost while messing around with the computer of that new car. All modern standard funs were present, but the way in which the Google Pixel 7 and Android Auto were picked up even made our understanding seller dizzy: “Grandios!” Slightly inadequate, he said he wanted to show that the car (in the back seat) still had a connection for a 12V cooler box. But that was – as witnessed by the electronics – of course mustard after meals. And whether I didn’t feel like showing that to colleagues? “No. First on vacation!” Albeit broke …

Cool box in the rear seat? Maybe also, because the car has – still – a connection for that.
