Carla needed a bike for work because the bus was slow and tickets were getting expensive. In a shop near the station, a new bike cost 400 euros, which was more than she could spend this month.
That evening, she noticed an advert in the entrance of her building. “Bike for sale, 120 euros. Ask for Mr Diaz.” He lived on the second floor, and she knew him only from the lift.
The next day, Mr Diaz showed her a green bike in the garage. It was older than the bikes in the shop, and one pedal was loose. Carla tested the brakes, pumped the tyres and rode once around the car park.
“The bike works well, but the pedal needs repairing,” she said. “Could you lower the price to 100 euros?” Mr Diaz thought about it and offered 110 euros if she repaired the pedal herself. Carla agreed.
On Monday morning, she cycled to work in fifteen minutes. She still had to buy a lock and fix the pedal on Saturday, but the total cost was far lower than the new bike. Carla felt that she had made a sensible decision.
