"Chenchen, whether it's a BMW or a Mercedes, the question is, is there any point in buying these things now that they're in such a rotten state?"
Du Bin couldn't help but ask Du Chen.
"We have to wait and see, it's hard to say!"
After Du Chen said something to Du Bin, he went to the front of the car and started working directly. With the help of Li Dewen and Xiami, the three of them barely managed to lift up the hood.
Li Dewen and Xiami held the hood, and Du Chen also looked into the engine compartment.
"What? Do you have a flashlight? Find me a flashlight!"
Du Chen was still standing in the cabin, reaching out to Xiami for a flashlight.
"for you!"
Xiami didn't move and continued to hold the hood. Du Bin found a flashlight and handed it to Du Chen.
Du Chen reached out to take the flashlight and continued to observe the interior of the cabin carefully. Du Bin and his companions didn't understand what Du Chen was doing and could only wait silently.
After a while, Du Chen retracted his head, stood up straight and nodded with satisfaction.
"It's not bad. The engine, transmission, and beam are all intact. However, the fenders, hood, front bumper, headlights, anti-collision beam, and radiator are all scrapped."
What made Du Chen most satisfied was that the front body frame and the engine and gearbox were all fine. In this way, the car could still be saved, and there would be no impact after the repair.
"Chenchen, do you mean this car can be repaired? How much would it cost?"
Du Bin looked at the "junk" in front of him and asked Du Chen in disbelief. In his opinion, this thing was meaningless!
"That's not necessarily true. Let's see if the damage to the back of the car is serious."
Du Chen explained as he walked to the back of the car.
Next, Du Chen looked up with a flashlight, then lay on the ground and looked under the car. After struggling for a while, he brushed off the dirt on his body and let out a long sigh.
"Brother Chen, how is it?"
Xiami asked Du Chen nervously. You know, he and Li Dewen had been struggling for a long time about giving so many things. Du Chen didn't like cheap things, and he was short of money to buy a new car. This car was only taken back by chance, just to let Du Chen see if it had any value. If not, the money would be wasted and it would make Du Chen unhappy.
"No problem, it can be repaired. There's nothing wrong with the car's frame. The rear panel is slightly deformed, but it's OK. It's not a big deal! Most of the damage is to the panels, so it won't cause any problems."
After checking the entire car, Du Chen felt relieved.
"That's good. We were worried that this thing couldn't be repaired, and then it would be a waste of money!"
Li Dewen also breathed a sigh of relief. He and Xiami had taken a big risk by buying so many things.
"Brother Li, how much did you pay for this car? How did you come across it?"
Du Chen asked Li Dewen curiously. Logically, Li Dewen should not have such a channel.
"We spent a hundred thousand between the two of us!"
"How many?"
"How many!"
Du Chen and Du Bin asked Li Dewen in unison. Du Chen was surprised and Du Bin was in disbelief.
Li Dewen was also frightened by the appearance of the two people. He blinked his small eyes and looked at Du Chen and Du Bin.
“Is this expensive or cheap?”
"Of course it's expensive, it's just a pile of junk, and you spent a hundred thousand dollars on it! You must have been ripped off!"
Du Bin said this with certainty.
"One hundred thousand isn't bad, is it?! I just checked it out. This car was manufactured in 1998, so it's not that old. It cost over seven hundred thousand back then, so a used car would probably be around forty or so now. And it's a pure import!"
Du Chen had a completely different idea from Du Bin. He thought this was a good opportunity.
"This car is over 700,000 yuan? In 1998, it could have bought several houses in Beijing, right? And how much is gold per gram? 60, 70, 71 grams? So 700,000 yuan is 20 kilograms of gold, right? Tsk, tsk, tsk..."
Du Bin felt that he had opened his eyes. A car cost over 700,000 yuan? That was 20 kilograms of gold.
"Brother, what did you think? Now you understand how rich the rich are, right? But your Pajero and Brother Li's Patrol would cost around 400,000 yuan if they were imported normally, but we just got a great deal!"
Du Chen explained it in detail to Du Bin, and also allowed Du Bin and Li Dewen to have a deep understanding of the original value of their cars.
“Fuck!”
Du Bin looked at the Pajero outside the gate, then looked at Du Chen. He really thought that his car was worth only a few hundred thousand yuan.
"By the way, Brother Li, can you tell us how you came across this car? And most importantly, is the registration of this car okay?"
Du Chen continued to ask Li Dewen. He didn't care much about the price because he thought it was not expensive, but he was more concerned about how it was bought.
"Don't worry, there will be no problem for big investors, the transfer can be done normally."
"It's interesting to say. Ever since you mentioned selling used cars, Xiami and I have loved visiting the secondhand market whenever we're not busy. Coincidentally, the day we bought the car, Xiami and I were browsing the market, observing how others were buying and selling cars, when we ran into the owner of this car communicating with a secondhand dealer."
"What? He's planning to sell this stuff to a middleman?"
Du Bin guessed.
"That's right, the original owner is negotiating the price with the middleman! The original owner wants to sell seventeen or eighteen cars, but the middleman is only willing to offer two!"
"Haha, this price is too ridiculous!"
Du Bin couldn't help laughing out loud.
"That's not the case. The original owner was so angry that he turned around and left!"
