Chapter 139 Buying a Car (Part 2)

  "After listening to the introduction, Wen Yuting asked: 'What is the price of this car?'"

  Manager Tao smiled and said: "The selling price of this car is 160,000 yuan, which fully meets your requirements. In addition, since you were introduced by President Liu, we can offer a discount of 9.6% on the price. Moreover, the airbag in this car is an optional configuration, which we can provide for free. Furthermore, we will also give you a set of in-car DVD including speakers."

  However, this new Jetta King is a manual 5-speed, if you want an automatic one, there's another Jetta Urban Pioneer that can be chosen, which is an automatic 4-speed, priced at 182,000, and the discount is about the same.

  Wen Yuting looked at the materials in her hand and nodded repeatedly, then turned to ask Li Guodong: "Guodong, what do you think? Should we choose automatic or manual?"

  Li Guodong thought for a moment and said: "Yuting, you also drive this car normally, to be on the safe side, let's choose an automatic transmission."

  "But an automatic transmission is two thousand more expensive!"

  Li Guodong smiled and said: "Of course safety is the most important thing when driving, we can make money slowly."

  "Alright then."

  Wen Yuting considered that she wasn't very familiar with driving, and didn't want to become a road killer, so she thought it would be safer to buy an automatic transmission car, and nodded in agreement.

  "Manager Tao, I'll choose Urban Pioneer then, but is it in stock?"

  When Wen Yuting agreed to buy the Urban Pioneer, Manager Tao was very happy and said with a smile: "This car just came out in April this year and is very popular among many car owners. It has been in short supply on the market, but since you were introduced by General Liu, we must have it in stock."

  "That's good, if there is no stock, then I must choose another car. Ah, Manager Tao, what car did you recommend to Brother Chu?"

  Manager Tao smiled and said: "Mr. Chu, I don't know if you have considered Japanese cars?"

  Chu Chen smiled slightly and said, "Let's just forget about it."

  "Alright, based on your requirements, I've selected three high-performance SUVs for you," said Manager Tao as he flipped through the materials.

  "SUV? What's that?" Chu Chen asked somewhat puzzled, he didn't have much research on cars either, and wasn't quite clear about this aspect.

  "Hehe, SUV is a rising concept that only emerged in the US in the early 1990s and entered our country in 1998."

  "SUV" is short for "Sports Utility Vehicle", also known as a sports multi-purpose vehicle, and commonly referred to as a leisure off-road vehicle. It originated from the pickup truck platform in the 1980s in the United States.

  "The most attractive part of an SUV, apart from having the comfort of a mid-to-high-end sedan, is that it also has higher off-road capability and safety, as well as a sporty feel, making it suitable for daily life, travel, and outdoor leisure. This is because an SUV's front suspension is an independent coil spring suspension like a car, while its rear suspension is a non-independent leaf spring suspension like a truck, with more interior space, making it easy to carry both people and cargo."

  Manager Tao first introduced the concept of SUV, and then said: "Mr. Chu, your requirement is to have both off-road performance and good looks. This type of vehicle is suitable for both city driving and off-road racing, and also has a fashionable appearance, which is very close to your needs."

  Chu Chen looked at the pictures on the color page, nodded and said with satisfaction: "En, not bad, I like this type of car."

  Upon hearing Chu Chen's response, Manager Tao was extremely delighted and continued to introduce: "Mr. Chu, I'd like to introduce you to the JEEP4700, also known as the Grand Cherokee, produced by Chrysler Corporation. This car is a brand new model that just came out this year, with performance that can be described as extremely powerful."

  "Its engine uses the original 4.7LV8 engine, which is a newly developed compact, high-power, high-torque, low-consumption, super-quiet and super-emission new engine by Chrysler Corporation, representing the world's most advanced engine technology. Its performance has reached an internationally leading position."

  "With this engine, even on generally complex terrain, you can't catch up with me. Moreover, its driving space is very large, the two rear seats can be laid flat, and it can provide a cargo volume of 2.059 cubic meters, which should be enough for our daily use."

  "In addition, it also has a fifth-generation automatic transmission; surface-softened instrument panel design; energy-absorbing safety-type steering column hydraulic power-assisted steering system; ultra-large 12-inch four-wheel disc brakes; 4-sensor full-channel ABS system; and a heavy-duty off-road suspension system specifically designed for Chinese road conditions, etc., all of which can bring you an ultimate driving experience."

  Looking at the color page, listening to Manager Tao's introduction, Li Guodong's eyes also involuntarily emitted a bright light. This car is really too good, men should choose such a domineering car, unfortunately, his own money is not enough, otherwise he would definitely buy this car.

  "And this car also has high-tech humanized luxury configuration with a high degree of electronicization and modular design; the world's first and only one in its class to provide far-infrared dual-zone temperature control air conditioning; top-mounted control console system; 10-way power adjustable leather seats with two memory functions; automatic cruise control and fever-level audio control multi-function steering wheel and door combination switch; auto-dimming inner rearview mirror..."

  "Woah, isn't this configuration similar to some cars priced in the hundreds of thousands? It's really too cost-effective!"

  "Hehe, well, how to say it, each has its own merits. This car is priced at 7.7 million and compared to other cars in the same class, it's definitely the best value for money." Manager Tao explained with a smile.

  Wen Yuting excitedly said: "This cost-effectiveness is really good, Guo Dong, when we have money in the future, let's change to this car, how about it?"

  Li Guodong had always admired this car, and after hearing these words, he nodded repeatedly.

  After listening to Manager Tao's introduction, Chuyan was also very satisfied with the car and said: "Manager Tao, this car is not bad, but aren't you going to introduce two more cars? Wait for you to finish introducing them, and I'll decide then."

  "It's possible, but Mr. Chu, didn't you just say that the price can be floated a bit higher? So both cars will cost over 1 million, I don't know if you mind." Manager Tao carefully explained again.

  Chu Chen thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but I hope the cars you introduce, Manager Tao, are worth their value."

  "That's for sure."

  Manager Tao handed a document to Chu Chen with a smile and said: "Let's talk about this one first, BMW..."

  Just as he said that, Chu Chen interrupted: "Manager Tao, let's talk about the next car. I'm not too fond of this brand."

  Chu Chen didn't have a prejudice against this brand of car, but because he had encountered several things before that made him have some bad memories when seeing cars of this brand. Among them, there was one thing that made him temporarily not want to buy a car of this brand.

  Last month, at the beginning of the month, Chu Chen had an experience where he saw a woman driving a BMW collide with a middle-aged woman riding a bicycle. Originally, this was just a small matter, and both parties only scratched each other, so he thought it was no big deal and went to use the restroom.

  Unexpectedly, after Chu Xun went in, the BMW driver was very arrogant and scolded the middle-aged woman with great anger, insulted her, punched and kicked her. When Chu Xun came out of the toilet, the middle-aged woman had been beaten until her nose was blue and swollen, and her eyes were so swollen that she couldn't open them.

  Chu Chen and the people around him were naturally dissatisfied with this behavior, but what the BMW driver said next shocked and enraged everyone: "I'm just rich, why can't you have the ability to be rich and drive a BMW?"

  After all, as a hot-blooded young man, this matter made Chu Chen angry and also made him somewhat disgusted with the car of this brand. At least for the time being, he would not consider buying a car of this brand.

  Manager Tao smiled and said, "In that case, I'll introduce you to another model. However, the price of this car is twenty million more than the official quote. I don't know if Mr. Chu is willing to buy it?"

  "Huh?"

  Chu Chen asked somewhat strangely: "What's wrong with this car?"

  Manager Tao nodded and said: "Indeed, there are some unexpected factors in it. This car is the latest Land Rover Range Rover..."

  "What is this Range Rover? I've never heard of it?" asked Wen Yuting in surprise.

  "I've seen this car before, it looks pretty good. I heard it's a British car brand, but as for the rest, I'm not too sure." Chuyu Lan replied.

  Mr. Tao nodded and said, "Yes, Land Rover is one of the world's leading manufacturers of four-wheel drive vehicles and a renowned British off-road vehicle brand. The Range Rover is currently the world's top luxury four-wheel drive model. It can be said that the Range Rover is the originator of luxury SUVs. From 1970 when Land Rover launched the first generation Range Rover to the present, it has always been the representative of the highest-end models in the SUV and has always been the highest standard in the field of four-wheel drive vehicles."

  Upon hearing this, Chu Chen said: "That's also to say that the Range Rover is better than the Grand Cherokee?"

  Manager Tao smiled and said, "These two cars are of different grades. The Range Rover is higher than the Grand Cherokee in terms of comfort and power. Actually, if Mr. Chu, you are specifically using it for off-road driving, I would definitely recommend the Grand Cherokee to you, because this model is a specialized off-road vehicle for off-road enthusiasts."

  "While the design of the Wrangler is like its birthplace, with a gentlemanly style and a hint of wildness, whether it's an elegant entertainment venue or a passionate outdoor adventure, it's all its territory."

  Having heard this, Chu Chen became interested in the Range Rover that Manager Tao had mentioned. If the car was really as Manager Tao said, it would be quite suitable for him.
