Chapter 23
Wuling Hongguang S, Tang Song had of course heard of it.
In the domestic MPV field, sales and reputation are among the best.
As a young person, he had also been exposed to quite a few memes about Wuling and was not repulsed by this brand.
Because it was his first car, influenced by the people around him, he had always considered small sedans and hadn't really considered micro-vans or MPVs.
Looking at the spirited Wuling Hongguang S in the sun at this moment, he was really a bit tempted.
It was like discovering a big cabbage in a field of flowers; although the style was a bit crooked, it was very surprising and unique.
Tang Song walked to the front of the car and asked: "Brother Li, how much is this Wuling?"
Li Mingjun hesitated for a moment and explained: "Let's say this first, I'm not scamming you. The owner has modified a lot of things, and the car is well-maintained, so the price is a bit expensive. The owner wants to sell it for 43,000, and I estimate it can be lowered by at most 1,000."
This car cost more than 60,000 when new, and a used car with three years of age and this condition has a market price of less than 40,000.
This is why he didn't buy the car himself but only helped with consignment.
He had also posted it on Moments before, and quite a few people asked, but they all lost interest upon hearing the price.
Many times, you spend thousands or tens of thousands to modify, but when you sell the car, you can't get the price at all, and it's not even as easy to sell as a plain car.
The owner might also be in a hurry for money; two days ago, she parked the car directly here, wanting customers to see the actual car and reach an intention as soon as possible.
Hearing Li Mingjun's words, Tang Song nodded: "Brother Li, I quite like this car; tell me about the car condition."
Although the price is a bit expensive, it is within his acceptable range; after all, the system task requirement is 45,000.
Hearing this, Li Mingjun patted the car's butt and began to introduce it.
Registered in April 2020, it has been exactly three years now, original paint on the whole car.
Candy white color, comes with fog lights, the modified LED lens headlights are very bright, 3M car film is applied, and a luggage rack is added on top.
Power steering, central air conditioning, 14-inch aluminum alloy rims, electric doors and windows.
The back row seats can be completely folded down, and the expanded trunk has a length of over two meters and a width of nearly 1.5 meters, which is very suitable for carrying goods.
Then, Li Mingjun opened the car door, revealing the interior inside.
The whole is covered with gray-white leather, while areas like the door armrest, gear shift, headrest, and center console are changed to brown.
The two colors are matched with each other, looking very fashionable.
Besides this, bright metal patches are dotted in the button area.
Overall, it looks simple, generous, warm, and high-end.
Tang Song's eyes lit up; it could be seen that the original owner should have loved this Wuling very much, and the modifications were also very much to his taste.
Many things are about eye appeal; this contrast between the inside and outside made Tang Song feel tempted instantly.
Li Mingjun pinched the seat and laughed: "The whole car interior is soft-packed, full-coverage black rubber mats, high-definition large-screen navigation, brand dashcam, upgraded audio...
To be honest, this car was modified here, and it cost nearly 10,000 back and forth.
The things are all good; if you can like the interior designed by the original owner, spending three or four thousand more to buy it is definitely not a loss."
Tang Song thought for a moment and said directly: "Brother Li, do you have the key here? I want to try the car."
"Wait a moment, I'll get it for you!" Li Mingjun hurriedly agreed and walked toward a small room.
Guo Peng couldn't help but say: "Little Song, the car is good, but it is indeed a bit expensive. And there is another key problem: you are also at the age to find a partner, so you have to consider this aspect when buying a car. You drive this car to pick up friends and brothers, and everyone will laugh and fight with you to drive, but if you really drive this car to pick up a girl for a date..."
Guo Peng didn't look down on Wuling Hongguang; in fact, since he entered society, he hadn't looked down on any car.
But Tang Song was already 25 this year and would soon face blind dates and marriage, so having a decent small sedan was a good bonus item.
Hearing Guo Peng's words, Tang Song nodded: "I understand, thank you for the reminder, Brother Guo."
If it were the old him, the first car he bought would probably be driven for a long time, and he would indeed need to consider many aspects.
But now that he has the system, as long as he completes this task, he can get a car worth under 500,000.
It left him without any worries; as long as he likes it, he'll just take it.
Li Mingjun soon walked back and handed over a key with a remote control.
Tang Song said thank you, bent down and sat in the driver's seat, adjusted the seat position, and the comfort was very good.
Fastening his seatbelt and gripping the steering wheel, Tang Song's mouth raised slightly, and a feeling of joy and satisfaction surged into his heart.
Confirming the gear was in neutral, pressing the clutch deeply, inserting the key, and starting the engine.
Accompanied by the engine sound, the dashboard and car machine were lit up.
Releasing the handbrake, putting it in 1st gear, coordinating the oil and clutch, and starting.
Having had the test drive experience of the previous few cars, this time it appeared very smooth.
The handling was stable, the steering wheel feel was moderate, and the steering was flexible. Thanks to the lighter car body and good power output, the acceleration performance was also good.
After a lap of test driving, he drove it very smoothly.
Looking at the warm and fashionable interior, the fresh and smooth car body lines, the spacious space, the super-large trunk, and the wing-style Wuling logo.
Tang Song took a deep breath, touched the rearview mirror, and said excitedly: "It's this one!"
Guo Peng opened his mouth wanting to say something, but still held back.
Li Mingjun was stunned, not expecting the other party to be so straightforward: "Alright, I'll go contact the owner now and strive to lower the price for you again. Sign the contract today, and the transfer will have to wait until next Monday; I'll handle it for you."
For this kind of consigned car, what he earns is an agency fee and handling fee.
"Alright, trouble you, Brother Li." Tang Song smiled and made an OK gesture.
Since things had reached this point, Guo Peng also put aside the idea of persuading him, got into the car with Tang Song to experience it, and by the way, took some photos to share in the group.
He left a message: "Congratulations to Little Song, about to take down the 2020 Wuling Hongguang S!"
As soon as the message was sent, the other three exploded.
[Li Zhichao: "The interior is really beautiful; you must let me test drive it when you drive it to the company, please!"]
[Wang Zhaoyang: "@Tang Song, I'll look for you when I move later!"]
…
The five people chatted randomly in the group, and Li Mingjun finally rushed back.
He looked at the car and said somewhat embarrassedly: "On the car price, the owner can only make a concession of 500 yuan at most, and the final price is 42,500 yuan. See if you can accept it? However, the car's compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance still have half a year left, which can be transferred to you together, which can save a sum of money."
"Can't even lower it by a thousand?" Guo Peng frowned: "Junzi, you talk to her again."
Li Mingjun thought for a moment, looked at Tang Song and said: "Or wait a bit longer; the later it gets, the more anxious the owner will be, and the price will definitely be favorable."
"No need, let's do it like this." Tang Song didn't want to drag it out anymore.
Seeing the deal reached, Li Mingjun also breathed a sigh of relief: "Alright, the owner will come over around one o'clock in the afternoon; I'll prepare the contract for you first."
Tang Song nodded, his gaze falling back onto the Wuling Hongguang S, unable to move away no matter what.
The first car in his life, he finally chose the one he liked; it was a joyous occasion.
