Chapter 101 Men, be tough on yourself(1/2)

 “Fuck!”

Early the next morning.

Luke opened his eyes and couldn't help but swear.

Went to a bar party last night to celebrate his promotion to detective.

In Rhett's words, there is a rising star in the police force.

As a result, he fell off just after leaving the bar door.

Luke has been waiting for a call, hoping that the patrol will find his motorcycle as soon as possible, but there has been no reply.

Luke originally planned to go shopping today to buy some things he lacked at home, but now he doesn't have a car and it's inconvenient to go out.

I can only change my plan and buy a car first.

Luke has no experience buying cars in Los Angeles and needs to find a consultant.

All his colleagues were at work, so he took a few days off to rest.

It’s never easy to find a colleague to look at the car with you.

After a while, Luke picked up the phone and dialed a number.

"Hi."

An elderly man's voice came from the mobile phone, "Did you dial the wrong number?"

"Grandpa, I'm calling you."

"I'm glad you still remember my phone number."

"Of course, I always remember it."

"What's the matter?"

"Are you free today? I want to ask you a favor."

"tell me the story."

"I want to buy a car, but I don't have much experience. I need a consultant."

"It's okay to be a staff officer. Borrowing money is another matter."

"I have money."

"Good, see you soon."



Half an hour later, an Audi Q5 drove into Ruidu Community.

Luke stood at the door of his home and waved. The car stopped in front of the door and the passenger compartment window opened.

An old white man stuck his head in and said, "The environment of this community is good."

Luke sat in the passenger compartment and looked at it, "The car is not bad."

"Yeah, I'm a rich old man."

Luke shrugged, "No wonder Uncle Val has never sought advancement. It turns out he has a strong backing."

"Don't even think about it. I would rather give the inheritance to you than to him."

"I wish you a long life."

"Hypocritical boy." The old man asked while starting the car, "What kind of car do you want to buy?"

"Not ready yet."

"What's the budget?"

"About 80,000."

"I can understand that young people want to buy a good car. I was the same when I was young, but you have to do what you can.

I heard Linda say that you haven't paid off the loan for that Harley yet, so don't put too much pressure on yourself.

When you become as successful as me in the future, it won’t be too late to buy a luxury car.”

Originally, Luke didn't feel much about this sermon because he was not a person who liked to spend money in advance and spend money indiscriminately.

But when I heard the word Harley, I remembered something sad again.

"Grandpa, I completely agree with you, consumption must be within one's ability.

Some time ago, I detected a large case of eucalyptus and received a bonus of more than 100,000 yuan."

"are you kidding me?"

"What I said is true."

"Bullshit, I don't believe that you can get so much money as a reward, otherwise I would have become a police officer."

Luke asked blankly, "Have you ever heard of Schilder Hasen?"

"Of course, what does the Impressionist master Schilder Hasen, a great oil painter, have to do with you?"

"I uncovered a case about his oil painting. That oil painting is worth ten million US dollars. Do you still think that a hundred thousand US dollars is too much?"

"Wow, you are such a lucky boy."

Luke smiled and said, "Just luck can't break the eucalyptus."

"Better than your uncle, at least you can afford to rent a house." The old man said with emotion, "God, what mistake did I make in my previous life? I have to raise a son at such an old age."



There are also car 4S stores in the United States, but it is rare to hear of incidents similar to those in China that defraud customers.

Don’t Americans cheat on others?

Of course not.

40 years ago, 4S stores in the United States were just as deceptive, and they were even more deceptive than those in China.

At that time, American cars were already very popular, but repair costs were very expensive and consumers' rights were not protected. A female car owner changed all this through defending her rights.

There was something wrong with her Passat, so she went to the 4S shop for repairs. The 4S shop promised that it would be repaired soon. The female car owner didn't think much about it and just dumped the car there.

A few days later, the female car owner picked up the car, but the 4S store asked her to wait a few more days. The female car owner agreed, but the wait lasted for three months.

The female car owner is anxious. If you don't have time to fix it, I'll fix it somewhere else.

But when the female car owner made a request, she was rejected on the grounds that she had signed a repair contract.

At that time, the female car owner was furious, couldn't I make the decision on my own car?

The female car owner started to defend her rights.

This road was not easy and she suffered many threats, but the female host persisted and gained the attention of relevant departments with the support of many car owners.

The legal loopholes were filled. Since then, the quality of cars and the rights and interests of consumers have been guaranteed.

According to Luke's budget and requirements, Grandpa Robert helped him choose several brands.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Lexus, etc.

Then, the two began to choose a car. The cars of these brands were all good, they just wanted to see which one was more suitable.

The two went to the BMW store first, and Luke took a test drive of the BMW 740. The car felt very good, but the visibility may be worse than that of an SUV.

Luke test-drove the BMW X6 again. This is a coupe-type SUV. The model, interior, operation, and power are all good. The only drawback is the squat back shape, which results in relatively small rear space.

Luke, who is 1.85 meters tall, is a little tall when sitting in the back row.

Later, Robert suggested that Luke test drive the X5.

In Luke's impression, X6 always feels more expensive than X5, and it is definitely better than X5.

But in Robert's words, the X6 is just positioned differently from the X5 and is not necessarily better than the X5.

And in terms of value preservation, X5 is better than X6.

In his opinion, there is a problem with the positioning of the X6. It is a sporty SUV, which itself is different.

The overall performance of BMW cars is good. After Luke took a test drive, he already had a rough standard in mind.

The cars I tested again were worse than other cars of this brand.

Later, I took a test drive in Lexus.

Lexus sales are good in the United States,

Japan is the ponyboy of the United States. The price of Japanese cars is lower than that of American cars of the same level. The company itself is controlled by the United States, and most of the profits of the car companies return to the pockets of the United States.

Luke is not an angry young man, but he does not like Japanese people after all.

If the conditions are average, you may consider Japanese cars from the perspective of fuel economy.

There is no other way, I am too poor to calculate the price of oil, and I am not qualified to choose.

But it's different now. He has money, so he naturally wants to choose someone he likes.
