I think it implies we have more money than we actually have.

A new model was being introduced so there were bargains in the showroom for the old model.

We were treated like honoured guests and enjoyed the whole experience like the home baking and hot chocolate in china cups. We didn't feel pressured at all, the car virtually sold itself.

Easy with the rear parking sensors.

A puncture. These run flat tyres are expensive!
