Chapter 882 Ka Xin Buys a Car
Kasin looked at the car that shocked Xiao Peng with a puzzled look on his face: "Boss, does this car look good? This should be the car that suits the aesthetic taste of the fighting nation you mentioned, right? Look, it's also square. Oh my god, this looks more like a coffin than the Volvo I just saw. At least that Volvo was rounder!"
"Shut up!" Xiao Peng yelled at Kasim and then started observing the car directly in front of it.
Kasin said innocently, "Why am I being scolded for telling the truth? Hey, this car has an interesting design, with three rows of seats! No wonder it's so long! And it's only 8,000 euros? Boss, it seems you don't have very good taste!"
"If you say another word of nonsense, I'll make you swim to the South Atlantic!" Xiao Peng said angrily, "Where's the owner? I want this car!"
Kaxin coughed twice and said, "Boss, don't yell at me yet. Let me ask you, this car is a classic car, right?"
Xiao Peng nodded: "That's right."
Kasin said, "Look at this car. It's so poorly maintained, and there's no markings on it. Boss, it's a question whether it's even drivable at such a cheap price. It's bound to have a lot of problems. Although it's a small price, it's best to let the boss or Khedira take a look before buying it. They understand mechanics."
Before Xiao Peng could say anything, a middle-aged man came over and said, "I guarantee this car can be driven, otherwise why would it be here?"
"Can it really be driven?" Kasim expressed his doubt.
"Of course it can be seen, but as you can see, this car has been stored for too long, so it is inevitable that there are some minor faults, but it really does not affect driving." said the middle-aged man.
Kasin was stunned: "It's been too long?"
The middle-aged man nodded and said, "I bought an old house in Bangor, and this car has been sitting in the garage. As you can see, there are no markings on it. I've searched a lot for information on it, but I can't find any. The engine model and parts listed are all new to me. It must have been handmade by some car enthusiast. I can guarantee that I haven't touched this car; even the dust inside is original."
Kasim suddenly understood: "I see. This means that if your car breaks down, you can't fix it or sell it, right?"
The middle-aged man didn't deny it. "But it's still a classic car, right? Look at its quaint lines and its length. It's so unique."
Ka Xin said disdainfully: "Brother, according to you, this is not a disposable item? If it is really that good, why don't you keep it for yourself? Wait, this car is left-hand drive, no wonder you don't want it!"
Ireland and Northern Ireland are of the same lineage as the United Kingdom, with cars driving on the left and using right-hand drive. Left-hand drive cars are not welcome here.
The middle-aged man spread his hands and said, "But this is a classic car, isn't it? I can sell it to tourists who want to participate in this event. What do you think? Are you interested? There shouldn't be a cheaper classic car here than mine. Wouldn't it be nice to participate in this event with the lowest price? Believe me, although this car has a lot of minor problems, it can easily make the five round trips to Dublin."
"Can it be any cheaper?" Kasim asked. "You can't rip us off just because we're tourists. This car doesn't have the right parts, what if it breaks down on the road? Look at this car, the paint is peeling and it's rusted. My God, isn't it too shabby? We're tourists, and we're hoping to attract some attention from the opposite sex with this car."
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Well, if you really want me to give you a discount of 200 yuan, that should be fine, right?"
After hearing this, Kasin suddenly asked, "Dude, has this car been registered with SIMI?"
"Hmm?" The middle-aged man's smile froze on his face.
Kasin suddenly looked angry. "Hey, man, you're going too far! No wonder you don't know the model of this car. It's not registered with SIMI! Aren't you ripping me off? Wait, you don't even have the car's 'LOG BOOK', right? Where's the MOT record? Where's the warranty information?"
SIMI stands for the Society of the Motor Industry of Ireland. Only cars registered with SIMI are legally allowed into Ireland. Northern Ireland, being part of the United Kingdom, requires every car to have a "log book," or proof of ownership. If the log book is out of date, incomplete, or missing, police will confiscate it. Don't think annual inspections are a Chinese requirement. Cars here, too! Cars over three years old must undergo an annual inspection. This is what Cashin refers to as an MOT record.
Kasin said angrily, "How can the car be used on the road without these things? You can't rip us off just because we're tourists, right? Do you want me to spend so much money to buy a car like this just to show it off?"
The middle-aged man disapproved after hearing this and said, "Why else would I sell it so cheaply? It would be nice to take this car home and put it on display! You look like you like it very much, don't you?"
"Don't try to be so rude!" Kasim waved his hand. "I think this car is quite unique, but you don't have any paperwork. I can't even get it through customs when I want to ship it back to my country! Damn it! This isn't a stolen car, is it? You look so impressive, but you're actually a thief? Should I call the police to investigate you?"
After hearing what Kasim said, the middle-aged man hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Don't! Don't get excited. I didn't lie to you. I'm a janitor at the University of Oster. This is my work ID. You can look me up on our school's official website. I didn't lie to you. I really bought an old house in Bangor and found this car inside! I don't have any of the documents you mentioned, but I really didn't steal this car!"
"You didn't cheat us?" Kasin glared. "Without these documents, wouldn't we be investigated every minute? You sold it to me and then someone came to investigate and confiscated our car. Isn't that still cheating us? You're a university worker? How could you do such a thing? No, I need to contact Oster University and ask them how such a person could come from their school!"
"If you don't want to buy it, then forget it. Why are you saying so much? Can't I just leave?" The middle-aged man prepared to leave.
Kasin, however, smirked. "You want to leave now? I'll have the police come over right now to investigate your actions! They'll investigate how you got here. University staff don't obey the law? And they're scamming tourists on the street?"
"You can't do this! Can't I just surrender?" The middle-aged man said with a bitter face, "I just want to sell some unused items for a little money. Besides, as long as the police don't catch it, I can keep driving this car, right? I'm really just preparing for tourists who want to participate in the competition."
"We should thank you for that, right?" Kasim asked. "Forget it, now tell me how much you want for this car!"
"ah?"
"What? As long as the police don't catch you, you'll be fine, right? Just give me a fair price."
