"I have to buy a new car. This one is too old" in the reported speech.
Hello,
I have some problems with converting this sentence:
"I have to buy a new car. This one is too old"
into the reported speech.
Could you, please, check out my version?
He said that he had to buy a new car saying/adding that that one was too old.
I'm not really sure what to do with "this one".
Thank you

I don't know how much latitude you have, but I might try "He said that he had to buy a new car, adding that his present one was too old."
