French term or phrase: à ça pres
Se trata de una especie de “monólogo interior” de un hombre bastante deprimido ante la vida, con un lenguaje muy coloquial y de la calle.
"Si j’avais 1 000 € de plus par mois…
– J’emprunterais pour m’acheter un appart’.
– À moins que je ne commence par m’offrir la dernière Mini Cabrio en leasing sur six ans.
– Bon, évidemment, il y a cette dette familiale. 2 000 €. Les deux premiers mois sont bouffés. Sauf à négocier quelques mensualités sur un an. Ils ne sont pas à ça près…"

Explanation:
Yo entiendo que se refiere a los deudores, que aparentemente no estárían dispuestos a negociar la deuda. Quizá se podría buscar un registro más coloquial.
