Three quick questions

Just one last question. And thanks a lot by the way. Is it possible to use "supposedly" here to tell that he doubts her?

I just got a call from Amanda. She just wanted to let me know that supposedly her car broke down, so she's not coming.

No, that's not going to work because in this formulation Amanda doubts that her car broke down.
