What did the man do about his old car?

W:Why did you sell the car?
M:It was giving me too much trouble. I was spending so much money on it that I was... er... spending more money than it was worth. Unfortunately, of course. When you actually sell the car, you’ve already ha, spent the money on it, so you lose both ways.
W:What was wrong with your old car?
M:The engine needs many repairs and the wheels were giving trouble now and then, when I set off on a journey, it gave me a sort of fear that I might not reach the other end. So I decided to change it.
W:Is the new car good?
M:Yes, It’s newer, more comfortable, and it hasn’t given me any trouble at all. When I set off,I’m quite sure that I’ll be able to get to the other end safely.
