416. The Treasure of the Town Store
"Let me see all the pickup trucks you have first." Dong Qiangqiang said, looking at the old cars in the parking lot.
"If you really buy it, I can give up my 'Shop Treasure'." The owner of the car shop showed a look of "Dong Qiangqiang is about to get a big bargain" and walked out the door as he said.
Dong Qiangqiang knew that there were generally no good cars in this kind of car business. If he was lucky, he might be able to get a bargain, but he might be able to get a look if he was not careful. He didn't say much at the moment, followed the other party, moved around among a bunch of old cars, and soon stood in front of a silver-gray pickup truck.
"Ford 150." The boss walked around the car with a proud look, "The most classic pickup truck king recognized in the industry. The engine is powerful. Although it ran 180,000 kilometers, the main components are as intact as before, and the fuel consumption is stable and after-sales service is convenient. It is definitely the most cost-effective car here."
Dong Qiangqiang turned around the car without saying a word, reached out and opened the car door, and got in.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Dong Qiangqiang took out a notebook calmly and checked the data of the car while looking at the contents of the notebook.
He really doesn't understand cars, but it doesn't prevent him from learning how to pick used cars through the Internet.
He glanced at the odometer and said, "As soon as the owner of the car shop did not tell any lies. The car had already run 186,000 kilometers. This number is not small. Maybe it can be used as a bargaining chip in a while.
The owner of the car shop saw Dong Qiangqiang holding a notebook in his hand, and looked at the notebook and then the car. He was curious and looked at the notebook. He saw that the pictures and words were still not understood. He asked curiously: "What are you holding?"
Dong Qiangqiang ignored his question, got out of the car and walked to the front of the car, raised the front hood and carefully searched for something. Suddenly, his eyes were on a rust the size of a fingernail. He was about to look down and look carefully. The owner of the car shop felt a "kick" in his heart. He immediately walked forward with a smile on his face, reached out to gesture around the engine, and smiled and said, "There is no problem with the engine, I can guarantee this. If you really buy it, we can provide a three-year warranty for the engine, oh, in fact, five years can also..."
"Which year did this car come from?" Dong Qiangqiang asked inadvertently.
"In 1996." The owner of the car shop answered very simply.
Dong Qiang calmly put down the front hood again, got back to the cab, and asked, "Can I drive it a few times?"
"Of course, of course." The owner of the car shop replied without hesitation.
As soon as he finished speaking, Dong Qiangqiang in the car had turned the key. When he heard the sound of the engine, he immediately asked again: "Gas car?"
He had been driving a diesel car for more than a month and could already tell the obvious difference between diesel engines and gasoline engines.
"Yeah? Yes. Gasoline. Original American ones."
Dong Qiangqiang knew that German gas stations provide gasoline and diesel oil. Generally speaking, gasoline cars are cheaper, but different models of gasoline will be more expensive than diesel, and diesel cars are generally more expensive, but the advantage lies in the fuel price advantage, so many Germans will consider choosing diesel cars as transportation tools.
"If you have some music, it will feel better when you drive it." The owner of the car shop did not wait for Dong Qiangqiang to agree, and unscrewed the radio on the car. "The original owner of the car speaker has changed (installed) the old Harman Katon, with bright high-end sounds and steady bass, which is absolutely high-end goods." He exclaimed vigorously.
But Dong Qiangqiang didn't care about the sound quality at all. He skillfully hung up the gear, tapped the accelerator, and jumped out with a low roar, leaving the owner of the car shop in a pile of smoke and dust.
As soon as the car drove out, Dong Qiangqiang turned off the radio immediately and raised his ears to listen carefully to the vehicle for any abnormal noise.
To his surprise, all the sounds sounded normal.
Because the parking lot was too small, Dong Qiangqiang took three simple turns and jumped out of the car.
"How does it feel?" The owner of the car shop looked at Dong Qiangqiang expectantly and asked with a smile, "Is it very powerful to run?"
"Has this car had an accident before?" Dong Qiangqiang asked deliberately with a calm face.
"We never sell accident cars here." The boss argued anxiously and bluntly. The wrinkles on his face became deeper, as if they were drawn with thin lines. "You can look at the paint of the car, and you can see it at a glance if you hit the car."
Actually, it’s not necessary for him to say that Dong Qiangqiang is already doing this. But the other party did not lie. Judging from the appearance, there was no trace of the car being re-sprayed.
"Then do you know what happened to the previous owners of this car?" Dong Qiangqiang once again put up the front hood to check if there were any mistakes in the engine and various pipes.
"Well, the previous car owner seemed to be an English teacher. We usually don't ask about the customer's situation. These are personal privacy." The owner of the car shop casually found an excuse to make excuses, "How is it? Do you buy it?"
Dong Qiangqiang turned his head and looked around without comment. He did not respond. Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang was silent, his face gradually darkened.
Dong Qiangqiang suddenly pointed to the cement platform in the distance and said, "I need to look at the chassis of this car again."
The owner of the car shop rolled his eyelids and put his hand on the car, staring at Dong Qiangqiang dissatisfiedly: "You have seen it, you have driven it too. Give me a good word, will you buy it?"
"I need to finish reading it before I can decide." Dong Qiangqiang said calmly, "If it's OK, I will definitely consider it."
"The chassis of this car is fine. If you don't believe it, I can give you a warranty. It will be fine for two or three years."
"Didn't you just say that you can get five years?" Dong Qiangqiang deliberately changed his concept.
"The engine can last for five years, and the chassis can last for up to three years." The owner of the car shop frowned and looked at Dong Qiangqiang up and down, "Are you rich or not? If you don't have money, leave quickly, don't delay my business." As he said that, he put down the front hood with a fierce "bang" sound.
"Of course I buy a car, but I must see clearly before buying a car. If I buy it without even seeing whether it was from 1996 or 1999, will you be responsible for any problems in the future?"
Dong Qiangqiang just saw that the factory date written on the frame was 180,000 kilometers, which was 3 years short of what the owner of the car shop introduced. It is understandable that he ran 180,000 kilometers from 1996 to 2001, but it is understandable that the car in 1999 reached 180,000 kilometers after only two years of driving, which is not a waste of driving.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang easily saw through his tricks, the owner of the car shop changed his face. He waved his fat arms in anger and drove him arrogantly: "I think you are here to make trouble, get out of here! Otherwise, I'll call the police to catch you."
Seeing that the other party looked angry and misunderstood, Dong Qiangqiang couldn't help laughing: Fortunately, he did his homework in advance, otherwise he would definitely be the other party's Taoist.
"Then how much do you plan to sell this car?" Dong Qiangqiang was not afraid of the other party calling the police. He also wanted to continue to look at other cars and accumulate experience in choosing used cars. So he took a step back and eased the other party's emotions.
The owner of the car shop stared at Dong Qiangqiang with suspicion for a while, as if he was judging whether what he was saying was the truth or the lies.
Dong Qiangqiang ignored him and turned around to continue studying the car.
"15,000 marks, the whole vehicle has a two-year warranty, and the engine has a three-year warranty." The owner of the car shop lit a cigarette for himself and took two sips.
"Well, when I was testing the car just now, I saw that there seemed to be a pickup truck over there," Dong Qiangqiang said, pointing to a corner not far away, "What's going on with that car?"
The owner of the car shop frowned and raised his hand impatiently: "The car has not been repaired."
"Is the problem of that car serious?" Dong Qiangqiang said, and the man had already walked towards another car.
"Hey, what are you doing?" The owner of the car shop was shocked and hurriedly chased him out.
Dong Qiangqiang had already jogged to the second pickup truck.
