"Boss… is this an Alto?"
"Yeah, it's a 2006 model!"
"Hah… I didn't expect you to have one of these. It's almost a classic now. But seriously, this model sold really well back in the day." Xu Duo's face was beaming with joy, her heart surging with excitement. She had already started to figure out some of the triggering conditions for the refurbishing system. First, the product's price had to be within a certain low range, and second, the item had to be significantly worn. Like the 2006 Alto in front of her, which had probably been sitting here for quite some time, it was no longer able to start and could only be hauled to the scrap yard as scrap metal.
"Don't remind me, I bought this a few years ago. Though it was cheap, it still cost me over 3,000 yuan," the second-hand car dealer said with a wry smile, but quickly shifted his focus back to business. "Miss, what do you need the car for?"
"Something that can be used both for commuting and carrying a bit of cargo." Xu Duo had gotten the key information she needed. Now, buying a car was the main focus.
"I see…" The second-hand car dealer gave her a knowing smile and led the way. "You wouldn't believe it, but I've got just the car you need. Come this way."
"This car was just brought in a few days ago. It's pretty new, a seven-seat MPV, perfect for carrying people and cargo, and the price is affordable," the dealer said, listing the car's selling points concisely.
"Wuling Rongguang!" Xu Duo recognized it immediately. She didn't say the rest out loud, knowing that this car would eventually be called a "god car." However, she didn't want to reveal her identity as someone who had been reborn by mentioning that. "It's a model released just last year, not even a year old, probably less than six months since it hit the market?"
"Exactly, exactly. It's very new, and all the parts inside are in perfect condition," the second-hand car dealer said casually, though a hint of unease passed through him.
"A car this new being sold so soon after hitting the market, there can only be a few reasons for that," Xu Duo wasn't naive. As someone with a bit of car knowledge, she was quick to notice. "Has this car been involved in a major accident?"
"No, no way!"
The dealer quickly denied it, then hesitated before deciding to tell the truth. "Well… it has been in a big accident, but not a traffic accident. The original owner was a beginner. His driving license wasn't quite legitimate, you know what I mean."
"A rkiller, huh? Just started driving, mistook the gas for the brake, and then—bam… that's how it happened. But don't worry, the engine was untouched, just some minor repairs." The dealer hurried to explain.
"Hah… my driving license wasn't earned the usual way either."
Xu Duo didn't hide anything either. She had just turned 18 last year, and if she had gone through the regular process to get her license, it wouldn't have been so quick. "But that's okay. I'll get a cheap one, and if it gets hit, I won't feel bad. Boss… give me a fair price."
"36,000 yuan!"
"30,000 yuan, take it or leave it!"
Xu Duo didn't haggle too aggressively. She walked around the car, judging that it was a top-tier "god car." The fact that the refurbishing system didn't react meant, as the dealer had said, that the engine hadn't been heavily modified. "But I need to make sure it hasn't been involved in a major traffic accident. Otherwise, I won't buy it."
"This…"
The dealer looked reluctant, wanting to raise the price, but seeing Xu Duo's firm gaze, he swallowed his words. "Alright, 30,000 yuan it is. I guarantee no traffic accidents. I've checked the records with the relevant department. You can rest assured."
"Good!" Xu Duo agreed readily, feeling relieved.
When buying second-hand cars, the worst thing was getting a vehicle that had been in a major accident but wasn't properly repaired. If the issue surfaced after the transfer, it would be a huge hassle.
After paying and transferring the ownership, the car was originally sold to the second-hand dealership, not on consignment, so the transfer process was relatively simple.
By the time all the paperwork was done, it was already evening.
Xu Duo drove her "god car" back to Huashen North. This was the busiest time of the day in Huashen North, with people crowding every electronics market. The scenes of people pushing and shoving were common.
"Yo… Boss, still buying scrap batteries?"
"Of course, how many do you have?"
"Here, I just collected about a hundred kilos in the last few days."
"Alright, let's weigh them, but I'll need you to bring them over to the small parking lot."
"No problem!"
"Here… have a smoke."
Xu Duo was very polite. After all, these people were her "fortune gods," helping her make big money. Being polite was the least she could do, treating them like treasured ancestors.
After weighing the batteries, she paid on the spot, then… moved on to the next shop!
The entire building had so many stalls, especially on the first floor of Longsheng Building, where most were dealing in small parts. Battery recycling was concentrated on this floor. If it weren't for the fact that the Wuling "god car" couldn't carry too much, she would have wanted to sweep the whole floor. Even so, her haul was still quite substantial!
