Chapter 29 Used Cars
"By the way, Uncle Marne, do you know anyone who sells used cars? I want to buy a car. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info "Ye Chen had considered buying a car before, although he now has a special magic teleportation, but in order not to be exposed to the eyes of ordinary people, he has to buy a car to travel, which is more convenient. Of course, it is still a waste to buy a brand new car with Ye Chen's current assets, so a second-hand car is a good choice.
"If you have a second-hand car, I'll go back and ask you, there was an old guy who was in this business before, what kind of car do you want to buy?" Marne thought for a moment before replying, he wasn't sure if his friend was still in the used car business.
"It's about 5,000 pounds, and it's okay to be more expensive, but it's better to have a cheaper car, and you don't need a new car, and then you can get another one when you have the money." Ye Chen estimated the money in his bank card and the limit of his credit card, and preliminarily determined a price.
"That's easy, and you can search the internet, I've had calls from similar sites to see their prices." Ma En put forward his own suggestion, "Ask Ye Cong again, there should be people who do such business among his customers, maybe there will be some news." ā
"Well, thank you, I'll call back and ask." Ye Chen stood up and patted Parker in fear. "All right, Uncle Marne, and Aunt Lisa. I'm leaving, so rest at home. I'd like to have a party in my apartment next week, and I hope you'll be able to come then. ā
"No problem, we'll go." Mr. and Mrs. Brown agreed.
Coming out of the Browns' house, Ye Chen took Parker to walk slowly home, and little Parker, who hadn't seen his master for more than a week, couldn't control himself now, and followed Ye Chen closely, for fear that he wouldn't be able to find the owner if he didn't pay attention for a while.
"Let's go, I'll take you to buy something to eat, I guess the small cookies at home are all expired." There was no way to take Parker into the subway station, so I had to take a car to Bart's pet store.
After returning home, Ye Chen, who had simply cleaned up the room, began to search for information on second-hand cars on the Internet.
When I was in school before, some classmates bought second-hand cars online, and Ye Chen also saw that car, although it was a little old, but it was not bad to drive.
The information about used cars on the Internet is very complete, and I found a website with the largest number of transactions and registered as a member. Enter the location, brand model, year, mileage, price range and other information on the webpage, and there will be hundreds of vehicle information for Ye Chen to choose.
Ye Chen now has less than 20,000 pounds in savings, plus the credit card limit, he can fully afford a second-hand car with a price of 5,000 pounds or higher, mainly because the insurance of the car also accounts for a large part of the car purchase price.
Ye Chen took a fancy to a 07-year-old Audi A42.0TDI, which is a diesel car, which is more suitable for use in the UK, and is also in line with Ye Chen's preference for German cars. From 2007 to the present more than 5 years, the owner price of 6,000 pounds, it feels good, Ye Chen plans to ask the owner to see the car, and then decide whether to buy.
"Big brother, are you busy now?" Ye Chen planned to ask his eldest brother to help take a look at the car.
"Well, I've just finished work, and I'm going home. You're back, Xiaochen? ā
"Well, I just got home today. I took a fancy to a car on the Internet and made an appointment with the owner to see the car tomorrow, and I would like to ask you if you have time to go with me tomorrow. ā
"No problem, I just settled the affairs of the office, take a rest at night, and accompany you to see it tomorrow, and I'm helping you look at the car insurance."
"Well, thank you, big brother, then you can rest first." Many things can be solved well here in Ye Cong, which makes Ye Chen feel a lot more at ease in a foreign country.
The owner of the Audi is also a resident of Liverpool, and according to the location he provided, Ye Chen was driven here by his eldest brother the next morning.
"Hello Mr. Randy, I'm Ye Chen." Ye Chen shook hands with the owner of the car standing at the door.
"Hello, Mr. Ye. Hope my car meets your requirements. With that, Randy led the two to Audi.
"I'm going abroad next month, and it's useless to keep this car, so I want to sell it." Lan told Ye Chen about his idea of selling a car.
"Let's take a look at the car first." Ye Cong took Ye Chen close to the car, first carefully observed the damage to the exterior and interior of the Audi, and then opened the front cover to inspect the engine compartment. After tinkering with it for a long time, he started the car again to observe.
"From the outside, it seems that there is basically no problem, you can drive and try it later, and I will go and see the formalities of this car."
The matter of looking at the documents was handed over to Ye Cong, who was a lawyer, and Ye Chen started the car to test drive and actually feel the feeling of this Audi.
Before coming, Ye Chen had checked the HPI of this car on the Internet, and carefully read the historical records about this car, this Randy was indeed the first owner of Audi, and there had been no major accidents.
British cars are all right-hand drive cars, which is just the opposite of China, Ye Chen also drove Ye Cong's car many times after obtaining a British driver's license. Now the test drive car may belong to you in the future, and you can drive out of the garage steadily, but you don't feel that there is a driving problem.
After driving for a while, Ye Chen saw that his eldest brother was already standing on the edge of the garage, and he should have read the documents, so Ye Chen parked the car back in the garage.
"Xiaochen, there is no problem with the documents, let me try it." Ye Cong is an old driver, and Ye Chen believes in his feelings even more.
In general, it is more convenient to buy a second-hand car, as long as the two parties to the transaction negotiate well, all kinds of procedures can be handled online. Ye Cong tried for a while and came back, so he pulled Ye Chen aside to discuss.
"There is basically no problem, if you want to buy it, I will go and negotiate the price with the car owner, and then handle the insurance and vehicle information."
"I feel good to drive, and I like the Audi brand as a whole." Ye Chen also likes this car, and feels that the price is also appropriate.
"Yes, okay, leave it to me."
There is no such thing as a driving licence in the UK, but a piece of paper called V5C, which has information about the vehicle and the owner. The original owner will send the V5C with the new owner's information to the DVLA of the Vehicle Management Center, and the DVLA will send a new V5C with the new owner's information to the new owner within four weeks.
Ye Cong is responsible for handling the next matters, and Ye Chen only needs to pay the final purchase price. After Ye Cong's negotiations, the final price of this Audi was set at 5,600 pounds, plus some other expenses, Ye Chen paid a total of 7,100 pounds to get this Audi A4.
"Do you need me to help you get the car back?" Ye Chen stood beside the car and asked his younger brother.
"No, there's nothing wrong with driving back." After all the formalities are completed, Ye Chen can drive the car home, this kind of second-hand car transaction is very convenient, as long as both parties are satisfied, all the steps can be completed soon. Now this car officially belongs to Ye Chen.
