Chapter 1129 - 503: The Car Pangu Wanted to Drive as a Kid_2
"I really can’t give a specific condition," Lin Li’s voice hesitated slightly, unable to provide an accurate answer because his original intention wasn’t truly to buy a car:"I’m not particularly familiar with specific car brands or models. As for the use, it’s really just for daily commuting, so it probably depends more on whether it catches my eye. If it does, I might just buy it."
"Got it." Wei Xuan nodded.
Actually, the most troublesome thing for a salesperson is encountering such undiscerning customers, as it’s easy to end up empty-handed after a busy effort.
But since Lin Li had already paid in advance, Wei Xuan’s smile remained sincere: "Alright, Lin Li, I’ll just show you all kinds of cars then, maybe one will catch your ’eye’."
"Sure, that suits me." Lin Li nodded.
"Shall we start with the expensive ones or the cheap ones?" Wei Xuan asked.
"Let’s start with the cheap ones. It’s easy to go from frugal to extravagant but difficult to go from extravagant to frugal."
"Okay, we’ve gone a bit too far then." Wei Xuan immediately stopped, turned around, and walked to a corner they just passed.
A car appeared in front of them.
Most of the cars in the parking lot were covered with tarps, but this one wasn’t.
A pink and white car—but obviously the kind that has faded from red to pink and white, with the color unevenly distributed.
"Xiali N3, you can get it for 3,200 in full."
"And if you plan to do installments, the down payment is 1,000, and for the monthly car loan, if you divide it into twelve months, you’ll pay around 190 a month, and if you divide it into twenty-four months, it’ll be only 99 a month."
Wei Xuan enthusiastically introduced.
Lin Li: "..."
It’s hard to imagine this number can actually be a car loan.
He looked more closely at it.
The car had multiple dents in the body, the right front light was broken and held together with transparent tape, extremely rudimentary, all hard plastic.
Honestly, it feels like the price is even a bit too high for this.
If driving this car violates the law—
Traffic cop: Fine is 200.
Lin Li: You can have the car.
Traffic cop: You’re still 50 short.
"What year is this car?" Lin Li knocked on the car body, feeling the hollow response, curiously asking.
Brother Sun: "It has no year."
Wei Xuan: "Produced in 2004."
Lin Li, not too knowledgeable about cars, ignored Brother Sun and looked at Wei Xuan, slightly shocked: "Older than me in age?"
Wei Xuan laughed: "For guys, cars are practically half a wife, better an older woman holding golden bricks. Older age tends to be more tender."
"True, by that count, getting half a gold brick for 3,200 is quite a bargain." Brother Sun nodded, "Why not give it a try, Lin Li?"
Then Lin Li heard Brother Sun mumble something like "Impossible it’s just from 2004, I thought it’s the one Pangu was nagging to drive as a kid."
Lin Li: "O.o?"
Lin Li leaned forward to check the interior, classic hand-crank windows unseen for years, and then...
"Sister Xuan, why is the steering wheel on the floor?" looking at the yellow foam bursting out of the driver’s seat, Lin Li’s mouth twitched.
This was really too much.
"Oh, this is amazing," Wei Xuan pulled down the window latch, reached in to open the car door, and introduced to Lin Li: "Nowadays, car manufacturers like to customize DIY modules, this car, of course, keeps up and outstrips the curve.
Other vehicles allow DIY at the factory selection, but adjustments later are a hassle.
But this car is different," Wei Xuan reinserted the steering wheel, "See, the modules are detachable, use as you go, take or replace at will, very convenient~"
Lin Li: "(๑•̀ㅂ•́)و✧!!"
So that’s how it is, so cool!!
"Do you want to give it a try, Lin Li." Wei Xuan herself couldn’t help but laugh.
"You can actually try it? This car can still be driven?" Lin Li was shocked again, "You actually preserved gasoline in this car?"
If that’s the case,
In the 3,200 price, how much is the added value from the gasoline?
"Not exactly," Wei Xuan laughed, "It’s manpower you’re testing."
Lin Li: "?"
A minute later.
Lin Li sat in the driver’s seat, one leg crossed over the other.
Normally, this posture is prohibited while driving.
But thankfully, things weren’t normal now.
—The car was slowly moving forward with Brother Sun’s and Wei Xuan’s full effort.
Lin Li was also enjoying the rickshaw treatment.
If Camel Xiangzi saw this, he would be impressed.
Lin Li: "How come the car keeps making noise when you push it, Sister Wei."
Wei Xuan: "It counts as an in-car music system."
Lin Li: "Okay, but sis, a part fell off."
Wei Xuan: "It’s also a customizable detachable module."
Lin Li: "I understand, but my concern is I didn’t see where it fell from, I don’t know where to reinstall it."
Wei Xuan: "No worries, just install it anywhere, the reason it fell was probably because someone installed it wrong before."
Lin Li: "..."
"Fine, alright," Lin Li no longer sat down, even though it’s impolite for a driver to get off during driving, he couldn’t care less now:
"Forget this car, if I actually drive it on the road, I feel like after passing a speed bump, I could open a 2-yuan store right on spot."
The main point was it didn’t trigger any task.
Originally thought riding these worst mechas would trigger some maintenance task, but it seemed he was oversimplifying things.
"Alright," Wei Xuan didn’t really expect to sell this wreck, so she simply nodded, "Let’s check the next one, at least it runs, a 2009 Wuling Hongguang, younger than you, only 5,400, and it’s in a running condition without repairs needed..."
A little better but just a little.
After a few touches without triggering tasks, Lin Li rubbed his chin: "Why don’t we take a look at expensive ones for a change, buying is one thing, good for the eyes."
"Agreed." Brother Sun nodded heavily.
"Ok, then follow me to the garage." Wei Xuan said nothing further, professionally meeting the customer’s needs.
The price being higher makes a difference, not only does it have a full cover, but it also enjoys one of the few indoor parking spots here.
Wei Xuan lifted the cover, revealing a car logo recognizable even to the not-so-car-savvy Lin Li, ceremoniously introducing to Lin Li:
"Maybach S480! Full payment only needs 240,000!!"
"240 thousand? Maybach? S480?"
Brother Sun, who understands cars more than Lin Li, reacted much larger than Lin Li upon finding out it really was a Maybach:
"Sis, tell me the truth, isn’t this a collateral car?"
"The locator on the car at least should be Beidou grade!?"
Lin Li’s first understanding of Maybach was the rainy night elevated bridge, although what Chu Zihang drove wasn’t S480, the general price was similar, nearly 2 million on landing, and a high-end model would only be more expensive.
And judging by the wear on the exterior, it’s tough to imagine it being this cheap secondhand.
"You can rest assured, it’s not a collateral car, the documents and everything are complete, and there’s no locator inside."
Though selling this car would mean a hefty commission, Wei Xuan didn’t seem particularly recommending it but introduced it quite calmly:
"The reason for the cheap price is that it’s a car from an accident."
Brother Sun and Lin Li blinked.
Suddenly felt a whiff of blood in the air.
Once the air conditioner is turned on, will blood spurt out along with shredded meat?
"Sis, tell me," Lin Li seriously asked, "This S480, is it the model, or did it S480 people?"
Damn, with that soul ring open, Tang San would say, bro, you be the Sea God.
Wei Xuan: "(;☉_☉)?"
"But this car has its benefits," Brother Sun stroked his chin, pondered long, then decided to speak well for Wei Xuan:
"Lin Li, you just got your license, but if you drive this car, you can go on highways alone, since you’ll always have veteran drivers around, perhaps even with auto-pilot, you might not even get to drive it yourself."
"If Tang Monk’s group had driven this car, they might have reached Western Heaven by the next day."
"Hmm, but there’s a downside, buy it and perhaps before you get in, the car shows ’overloaded’."
Lin Li: "..."
"All small matters, hmm, in summary, worth buying, in time just stick a clock on the dashboard." Brother Sun concluded.
Lin Li: "What if the clock appears in my dream at night saying it can’t hold it?"
Brother Sun: "Have the clock reflect, after so many years of ghost hunting, ask if it’s been diligent."
Lin Li: "Alright."
Wei Xuan: "O.o?"
