Mercedes-Benz 500GEV8.
As one of the most popular vehicles both domestically and internationally at the time, there were only about 150 of them in the world.
Although this vehicle is produced in large quantities, it is mainly used by the military and is widely used by foreign troops. Civilian versions like this are produced in very small quantities because production capacity cannot keep up.
The fact that the skinny guy was able to get his hands on a car like this already shows that he has an incredibly wide network of connections in the automotive industry.
Of course, twenty years from now, this car will have an even more prestigious name – "G-Wagon".
The huge boxy car didn't sell very well at the time because streamlined car models were all the rage.
However, as a V8 large-displacement off-road vehicle, this car doesn't have any major performance issues, and the reason why many bosses in China don't buy it is quite simple.
It's too expensive. Compared to the Mercedes-Benz W14, which can be had for just over a million, this car would cost close to two million after customs duties.
Both vehicles are luxury cars, and their comfort levels are roughly the same. However, this particular vehicle is not cost-effective as an off-road vehicle.
"I'll drive it out and give it a try."
Lin Yifeng grabbed the handrail by the door and got into the driver's seat.
Lin Yifeng took the key from the passenger seat, inserted it into the key fob, and turned it.
The entire garage resounded with the deafening roar of the V8 engine, especially when the vehicle was idling, it was roaring wildly.
As a representative vehicle of military-to-civilian conversion, this car's design was already quite flamboyant even before the Hummer entered the Chinese market.
Lin Yifeng turned the steering wheel and lightly pressed the accelerator, feeling the front of the car slowly lift up, and it sped directly out of the garage.
Yang Biaozi stared at the Mercedes-Benz 500GE that had come out of the house, swallowing hard.
"groove!"
"Monkey! Get me one of these too!"
The skinny man raised an eyebrow.
"Would you like a waterwheel?"
"Get out! I treated you like a brother, and you sold me your water cart?"
"Would assembling a car work?"
"Damn it! You monkey! You bastard!"
"If we don't want any of those, then we'll have Da Mao left."
The skinny monkey shrugged and explained helplessly from the side.
"The market is good this year, and I managed to get the property settled for 2 million."
"I heard they're going to raise prices next year, so I estimate it'll cost 350 to get the whole set."
“If Brother Feng wants it, I’ll give it to him directly. I was originally planning to sell it next year.”
"You want it, 400 next year!"
Yang Biaozi was stunned for a moment, then looked at the skinny monkey with an incredulous expression.
He never imagined that the price of this car would double in just one year.
What he found most unbearable was that the skinny monkey actually wanted to ask him for another 500,000 in kickbacks.
"Monkey, do you still consider me your brother?"
"Of course!"
"So you bought it for 350 and sold it to me for 400?"
"Hey! You're my brother, you're like a sworn brother to me, so you absolutely have to pay more!"
As they spoke, the two of them started playfully fighting outside the door.
Yang Biaozi insisted on getting one of these; it's just too cool.
With such a high level of skill, driving it in the city is like sailing a boat. Yang Biaozi loves this kind of thing, how could he not be tempted?
Lin Yifeng, who was also driving, was very satisfied with the handling.
