Chapter 51: Chapter 050: Buying a Car in the City

Early the next morning, Lin Yang got up, washed up, and finished breakfast.

Then he sent a message to Yue’er, asking her to come early to help him edit videos.

As soon as he sent it, her reply came back instantly.

It wasn’t long before he saw her, bouncing through the door with a laptop in her arms.

With the experience from the first time, Chen Yue was much more adept at video editing this time.

These past few days, she had been learning at home when she was free, after all, she was being paid, and she naturally wanted to do her job well.

Since there hadn’t been new videos for the past two days, this time Lin Yang uploaded three short films at once.

One was a video from yesterday about adjusting fishing floats, and the other two were about consecutive catches.

Although the fish were a bit small, the footage was exciting due to the drone shots and several large catches linked together, so he decided to edit two clips in succession.

After uploading the videos, Lin Yang taught her how to print shipping orders.

In this way, she could handle shipments even if he wasn’t home in the future.

As for the packing and shipping, that was certainly the courier station owner’s job, after all, he was making money from it, and Lin Yang was paying him.

It’s no exaggeration to say that just with Lin Yang as a client, a small courier station could nearly be supported, as his daily shipping volume was in the hundreds or thousands.

After sorting out home matters, Lin Yang left the house around ten in the morning.

He had planned to buy a car the day before, so he called Uncle early in the morning to come pick him up.

At this moment, they were on their way to the downtown area.

In the car, Uncle Yang Xincheng was also recommending types of vehicles he could buy.

Although neither of them was very knowledgeable about cars, his uncle had more experience.

Yang Xincheng recommended, "Xiao Yang, if your budget is around 200,000 and you want an SUV or an off-road vehicle, I recommend the Tank 300. Its base model is just over 200,000, but both the chassis and the engine are good...."

"If you have money later for modifications, it’s comparable to a Wrangler. Wanting to go fishing in remote areas, it can help you traverse mountains and rivers, definitely a great car for fishing."

"Let’s go have a look," Lin Yang nodded.

He had heard of the Tank 300 and knew it was a good car, suitable for fishing and also domestically manufactured.

"But are you buying the car specifically for fishing, or for matchmaking? If it’s for getting married, then the Tank 300 might not be suitable for family use...."

Yang Xincheng continued.

He knew that Lin Yang had made quite a bit of money recently, having saved 200,000, but that was hard-earned money.

He couldn’t afford to focus solely on fishing without considering future matters like matchmaking and marriage.

So if Lin Yang was truly buying a car for marriage, he still needed to recommend other models.

Seeing that his uncle believed he was buying a car for matchmaking and marriage,

Lin Yang spoke sarcastically, "Matchmaking? I will never go to blind dates again; I’m buying this car solely for fishing, it’s a fishing dedicated car!"

"Fishing is my main focus right now; as for marriage, that’s still a long way off."

Hearing Lin Yang say this, Yang Xincheng asked, "Then your parents don’t mind?"

For rural families, buying a car was a big deal, needing consultation with the family.

Lin Yang was buying a car specifically for fishing; did his family really have no objections?

"Don’t worry, my parents are very supportive now, and since the money is earned by myself, they won’t object," Lin Yang said with a confident smile.

His parents indeed had no objections; he had made tens of thousands in just a few days, and if necessary, they could just buy another family car later.

Even now, his dad thought that a budget of 200,000 for a car might be a bit cheap, suggesting he add more money to buy a better one, but Lin Yang felt it was unnecessary.

In his opinion, cars were just a means of transportation.

A car worth over 200,000 was already pretty good, and there was no need to spend more money on a pricier one that wouldn’t offer much more in terms of upgrades.

He was buying the car mainly for fishing, not really for off-roading; a car worth over 200,000 was sufficient.

Knowing that Lin Yang was indeed buying the car for fishing, and that his family had no objections anymore, Yang Xincheng finally had no more doubts.

Once they had decided on what car to buy, he turned on the navigation and headed straight to the WEY dealership that had the Tank 300.

About half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.

Walking into the dealership, a slim, professionally dressed saleswoman immediately came up to them, smiling, "Welcome to the WEY dealership. What kind of car would you like to see?"

Lin Yang didn’t beat around the bush, and straightforwardly said, "I’d like to see the Tank 300, do you have it in stock here?"

"We do, we do!"

The saleswoman extended her hand in one direction: "Come with me, please....."

As she led the way,

she also politely made conversation, quickly learning both of their names and that Lin Yang was the one interested in buying a car.

Soon,

she brought them in front of several large, imposing off-road vehicles with a rugged design.

"These are the Tank 300 models, currently the most popular off-road SUVs, boasting superb off-road capabilities and a very commanding look."

"The standard version has three configurations, with the lowest priced at 198,800...."

Although Lin Yang had already learned about the features of the Tank 300 from Yang Xincheng,

he still listened to the saleswoman’s presentation and understood even more about the car.

After finishing the introduction, the saleswoman hesitantly asked, "Mr. Lin, if I may ask, what are you planning to use the Tank 300 for? Is it for off-roading, regular driving, or something else?"

"Um...."

Lin Yang pondered for a moment and replied without lying, "I’m planning to use it for fishing. I might occasionally take on some rough roads, so I’ve taken a liking to the Tank 300."

"For fishing?"

The saleswoman’s eyes lit up, and she asked, "Then you must want to modify the Tank 300, turning it into a car suitable for fishing, right?"

"Like adding a live fish tank and designing a specific area to store fishing rods and gear?"

"You actually know so much?" Yang Xincheng exclaimed in surprise by her side.

Lin Yang was also astonished. A car dealership salesperson who knew about vehicle modifications was quite something.

The saleswoman smiled and said, "Not to hide from you both, our dealership’s boss is an avid fisherman who also owns a vehicle modification factory. His own car has been fully modified for fishing into a professional fishing vehicle."

"Our boss also often brings fishing buddies to the dealership to buy Tank 300s, and after purchasing, they take them for modifications. He’s instructed us to inquire about modification needs if a customer’s purpose for buying a Tank 300 is fishing, and if they do have such needs, we directly contact him for modifications after signing a contract."

After hearing what the saleswoman had said, Lin Yang realized that was the case.

Yang Xincheng said, "That sounds pretty reliable. If there are no issues, buying a car here and then having your boss modify it for you, Xiao Yang, would save you the hassle of finding a modification shop yourself. It’s like a one-stop service, pretty good."

Lin Yang also thought it was a good idea, so he said to the saleswoman, "Alright, bring the contract. If the price is right, I’ll get the car modified here in a while."

"Okay then, may I know which specific configuration you are planning to buy, Mr. Lin?"

After asking, she continued, "If you want better off-road performance, I recommend you directly purchase the highest option ’Border Limited Edition’ for 280,000. Even though it lacks some standard features, the chassis and hardware off-road capabilities of this version are incomparable to the regular version. It’s also bigger, making it more suitable for modifications!"

"Even though it’s a limited edition, our boss has managed to get two units stored in the back warehouse. If you’d like, I can take you to see them right now."

"Let’s go take a look then."

Lin Yang didn’t refuse and let the saleswoman lead the way.

Seeing Lin Yang interested in the highest configuration, Yang Xincheng pulled him aside when the saleswoman walked ahead and whispered, "Didn’t you say your budget was only 200,000? Why are you thinking about the 280,000 highest configuration now? With all the configurations, it will be at least 300,000. Are you sure you want to buy it?"

"Let’s just take a look first."

Lin Yang smiled and said, "Anyway, I’m planning to buy it with a loan, so adding a bit more to the budget isn’t a big problem."

Yang Xincheng widened his eyes, "Adding up to 300,000 isn’t a big problem for you, plus modifications... I think you’re getting carried away."

Lin Yang scratched his head awkwardly, "When I came here, I was indeed planning to just buy any car, but after giving it some thought, I probably won’t change it later, so I might as well go for a higher configuration from the start...."

That’s how it is with buying cars; the one you buy is always a little above your budget.

After hearing Lin Yang’s explanation, Yang Xincheng also found it somewhat reasonable, and after all, the car was for Lin Yang himself, as long as he liked it.

Later, the two were led by the saleswoman to the warehouse, where they saw the Tank 300’s highest limited edition model.

It indeed looked more imposing and was larger than the standard version, though it was yellow, a color Lin Yang wasn’t very fond of.

But no problem, he could have the whole car changed during customization as long as it was registered in the official plan.

After checking that there were no issues, Lin Yang pointed at the yellow Tank 300 and said, "Alright, this one then. Just give me the lowest price, and I’ll pick it up immediately if the price is right!"

After some bargaining, the saleswoman quickly drafted a contract for Lin Yang.

Half down payment, and then the loan, plus purchase tax, license plate fees, and some other expenses, amounted to about 310,000 in total.

Lin Yang didn’t want to ask for money from his family or borrow money, so he chose to buy the car with a loan.

A two-year loan, with total interest of just over 10,000, wasn’t much for him now.

However, after making the payment, Lin Yang checked the bank message on his phone showing the bill for this purchase and still felt a little pain.

After all, it was his first time spending hundreds of thousands at once, and thinking about how many years he would have had to work in the past to save that much money, he found it striking that now it was spent in less than an hour. Quite astonishing.
