“Yes sir, my father and I only deal in Lamborghinis.”
Wagner answered with certainty.
In fact, the Klassikstadt classic car market is composed of many second-hand car dealers, some large and some small. Some specialize in one brand, while others collect all kinds of cars. The Wagner family specializes in Lamborghini business.
They purchase used Lamborghinis in good condition across Europe and sell them to Lamborghini enthusiasts like Xia Yu.
"Then is there a special model, a limited edition?"
Almost all supercar brands release limited edition models every few years in addition to mass-produced cars.
Some people think this is hunger marketing, while others think that this is just a mass-produced car with a different shell made by the manufacturer, specifically to collect IQ tax from rich people.
Xia Yu doesn't think so. Limited edition cars may be very expensive, but the manufacturer's focus is not on making money, but on using limited editions to consolidate their brand value.
In other words, it's cool!
Car owners who buy limited edition cars also do so for the sake of prestige. When mass-produced cars fail to satisfy them, they are willing to pay a brand premium to get a differentiated experience.
The Bugatti Divo is a good example. Apart from its cornering performance, it is not much different from the Chiron, but it can be sold for the price of two Chirons and was sold out before the launch conference.
This is because there is no difference between 2.5 million euros and 5 million euros to those car owners, but there is a difference between Divo and Chiron in their eyes.
Xia Yu felt that it made no difference, because he didn't spend a penny, but now that he had gathered four generations of big guns, he felt the difference.
"Yes, sir, as you know, the economy is in recession right now, and some car owners are short of money. They'll choose to sell their cars to raise funds."
"Just tell me, Raventon or the Sixth Element?"
Xia Yu didn't beat around the bush and asked directly.
It is impossible for limited editions to be released every year. Lamborghini has only produced limited editions in a few years, except for the Reventon in 2008 and the Sixth Element in 2010.
What if someone wants to say that it’s a poison that’s everywhere?
This car is not bad. Only 14 were produced in total, and 2 hardtops were not sold. Of the 12 sold, 8 were named and only 4 convertibles were bought by mysterious wealthy businessmen who did not want to reveal their names.
Xia Yu's wealthy companions each have a poison car, so maybe one of these four cars came from this. The extra three cars can be wholesaled to solve the contradiction between the supply and demand of poison in the parallel world!
Reventon and Sixth Element are different. Both cars were produced in 21 units. Excluding the one in each museum's collection, there are a total of 40 units on the market. The probability that someone is willing to sell them is still very high.
"Sir, why not Centenario?"
Wagner said with a smile.
"Centenario? Didn't deliveries of this car just start recently? Why are there already people who want to sell it?"
Xia Yu was also confused. The Lamborghini Centenario was unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show in 2016 and also played Hot Rod in the movie "Transformers 5".
If he drove this car out of the system's gift pack, would it be a Transformer?
You're overthinking it. There are no Decepticons in this world, so there's no need for Autobots to be dispatched. But a Centenario would be nice too.
"Yes, one of my clients ordered this car a while ago, but before it was delivered, his family's business ran into problems. If you're interested, I can make the connection for you."
Wagner briefly explained what had happened.
"Yes, I want to get this car as soon as possible if possible!"
The Lamborghini Centenario was priced at 2.44 million euros at the time. Xia Yu estimated that it could be bought for less than 3 million euros now. If it were to be shipped back to China and put on the road, it would cost at least 6 million euros.
It’s a bit expensive. As long as he doesn’t drive on the road, he can use the remaining money to buy another one.
One or two, Xia Yu chose two.
He plans to treat this Lamborghini Centenario like those classic cars and allow it to enter the country as temporary goods. Lamborghini's track department can provide such services, and there is no need to find a third-party custodial fleet.
"By the way, if there's any news about the Sixth Element being sold, keep me posted. I'm also quite interested in this car."
Xia Yu mentioned it to Wagner again.
He had seen a movie called "Need for Speed" before, in which the villain drove a Sixth Element. At that time, Xia Yu thought the car was super cool, but unfortunately he couldn't even afford a car model.
Now that he has the chance, he also wants to make up for his regrets. As for whether he is a villain or not, he doesn't care, because he is even worse than a villain.
After saying goodbye to Wagner, Xia Yu and Ji Yang went to the third floor, but he always felt that Ji Yang looked at him obediently.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Old Xia, are you so rich starting your own business?"
Ji Yang learned a lot today. Including Centenario and the Sixth Element, Xia Yu spent more than 8 million euros on the car today, which is more than half a hundred million RMB.
"It's okay, I bought it mainly to fill the museum."
Xia Yu said modestly.
He bought these cars mainly for collection. Having a Bugatti is enough for him to show off. He doesn't need a Lamborghini to make him look good.
Collecting is ultimately a matter of sentiment, so Xia Yu became interested. He walked from his office to the Lamborghini showroom downstairs, picked up a car at random, had a cart take it to the racetrack, and ran a couple of laps to relax.
"You're awesome! You're the best at all aspects of driving a car."
Ji Yang said with emotion.
He enjoys playing with cars on one hand, and investing in them is another. As for the degree of his passion for them, it is definitely not as deep as Xia Yu's.
To be honest, Xia Yu is not that deep. He is just richer. The funds that Ji Yang can control are just a fraction of what he has. How can he still play it like this?
In addition, when it comes to understanding cars, people who don’t have cars know more. Xia Yu only needs to write down some basic data, and he can directly experience the rest.
The two chatted as they walked to the third floor. Most of the cars on the third floor were domestic brands. Old BBAs could be seen everywhere, as well as the sleek Volkswagen Beetle.
They have no interest in these things, after all, both of them are more advanced players.
Xia Yu found a dealer specializing in BMW motorcycles in the corner. He didn't forget his 20 motorcycle parking spaces, so he picked a few to take home this time.
Among a long line of heavy motorcycles, an HP4 caught his attention.
"Old Ji, this car is great!"
"It's good, but it's a pity that we can't go on the road."
Ji Yang also knew this car, after all, BMW motorcycles are quite famous.
"I don't plan on driving on the road. A license plate costs hundreds of thousands of yuan, which is more expensive than any other car. I might as well just go to the track."
Xia Yu said bluntly.
Riding a motorcycle on a track is also very exciting, but his K1600 is a station wagon, which is not very suitable for the track, so he has not experienced it yet.
