[ The coupon being grabbed out of his hand isn't entirely unexpected though it makes her frustration clear. It also gives Sunday something to consider along with her next words as at least there's the relief she didn't pay more for a smaller vehicle to further complicate things. ]

Is that not one of the very reasons they would seek to charge us the same amount?

[ It's one of those annoyingly semi-rhetorical questions Sunday often asked when someone displeased came to him with a problem. This time he (for once, somehow) catches himself and shakes his head. Even to his ears that sounds like rather than assuaging her concern he's merely parrying it into a possible argument, and the quiet chime of his earrings serve as a reminder as always. ]

What I mean to say is that the situation into which we have all arrived is ideal for such a thing to happen. Even if they'd offered any sort of reassurances otherwise we would have no way of knowing whether that's the truth.

[ Of course, that's easier to say when not having the slightest idea of just how much overpaying there's been. Surely the coupons will offset it along with the hope it wasn't too damaging of a sum, said hope being mostly useless now that the documents were signed some time ago. Back to the matter at hand as the tire refuses to come loose which could be another indicator of the state of this car and paying too much for it. ]

Leverage would be quite helpful here, I think. If there's a crowbar among the tools that might be our best bet.
