Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Car
In fact, to be honest, the journey from Jiang Hai's manor to downtown Boston is actually not much different from the journey to Winthrop.
He has to drive for about an hour to Boston, and half an hour to Winthrop, but the people of the American imperialism actually have some problems, which are a little different from the situation in China, in China, it is the people in the city who look down on the surrounding countrymen, even if these people have more money than the people in the city, this is the regional difference.
It is also the case in the United States, where people in the city look down on the countrymen, but in the same way, the countrymen also look down on the city people.
It's kind of an antagonism, so generally speaking, as long as there's something to sell in Winthrop, people around this neighborhood rarely go to Boston.
Of course, there is another reason, and that is that although it is only an hour and a half away by car, Winthrop sells things at a cheaper price than those in Boston, and whatever it is sold, which is one of the things that people here are most proud of.
However, as a member of the Greater Boston metropolitan area, there is still a complete range of things sold here.
Riding in Robbins' pickup truck, Jiang Hai came with him to a huge car shop on the outskirts of Winthrop.
As in China, few car dealers will be placed in the town or in the city, after all, car dealers are very space-occupying.
Winthrop did the same, and when the two parked their cars, they walked into the dealership.
This car dealership is a private car dealership, called Fred's car dealership, and it seems that the owner of this car dealership, or the founder, is called Fred, and this car dealership, according to Robbins, is doing a lot in this neighborhood.
Acting for a lot of car brands, American imperialism, island countries, German, British, Italian, etc., it can be said that in addition to not buying a supercar here, you can buy any car, and the price is fair, the most important thing is that if it is broken, replace the parts, or the warranty, here will also give a family price.
"Hello, is there anything I can do for you?" When the two walked into the car dealership, a young girl walked over and asked Jiang Hai and Robbins in front of them.
"Hey, girl, is Duruff there? My name is Robbins, call him over! Hearing the girl's words, Robbins here couldn't help but smile and said, not only do Chinese people like to find acquaintances when they buy things, but also in the United States.
After all, you can save money, or get more giveaways, these people are not stupid, how can they not use it.
"Oh, that's right, sorry, please wait." Hearing Robbins's words, a trace of disappointment flashed in the girl's eyes, it seemed that the commission for this business could not be obtained, but the good service attitude still made her nod lightly, and then said it on the walkie-talkie, and after a while, a middle-aged man about the same age as Robbins walked out of it.
But this guy, compared to Robbins, is much fatter, and there are some Mediterranean people, who came from a distance, like a big steamed bun with some hair, and walked over with a smile.
"Hey man, are you finally going to change your old broken pickup? I thought you were going to raise it for the rest of your life. Seeing Robbins, this guy smiled and quipped, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is still very good.
"Naturally, I want to support my old buddy when he is old, but today is my boss who wants to buy a car." There was a fist bump with the fat man, and then Robbins introduced the identity of Jiang Hai standing beside him with a smile on his face.
"Your boss? Wow, Green Forest, that's a rare big guy, you must need a lot of help, come on, little boss, Duruff Car Dealership, can meet all your requirements. Hearing Robbins's words, Duruff on this side couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then let out a strange scream, put his arm on Jiang Hai's shoulder, and walked inside.
Because after all, Robbins brought it over, he didn't take Jiang Hai to see any mess.
They went directly to the pickup area, and as soon as they walked in, rows of steel monsters appeared in front of Jiang Hai.
"Come on, little boss, although we don't dare to say that we have the most complete pickup truck in the United States, I can guarantee that what is in New York and Boston, I have what I have here, and even I have some cars from your country, do you want to take a look?" While taking Jiang Hai inside, Duruff here was also constantly introducing there.
"Hehe, forget it." Although Jiang Hai is still a little proud that domestic cars can be sold to the United States, but thinking about the urine strength of domestic cars, he can't raise any interest, of course, he has heard before that what is sold in China and what is sold abroad is not the same thing, but Jiang Hai is still not ready to try more.
Since he wants to buy it, then buy it, he is short of money, but he is not short of this little money.
"Oh, that's a pity......" Hearing Jiang Hai's words, Duruff couldn't help but say, but looking at his fat face, there was no trace of pity, and then he began to introduce Jiang Hai as if he had forgotten about it.
Basically, in the United States of the high-end pickup, there are mainly four brands, one of them, the most used, is also the most popular Ford F series, this car has a price advantage, after all, it is a car produced by the United States itself, and it is easy to maintain, not easy to break, the price ranges from tens of thousands of US dollars, to hundreds of thousands, millions of US dollars, it depends on what Jiang Hai wants to buy.
Secondly, it is the Dodge series, compared with Ford's, he has a slight price advantage, other than that, it is basically the same, but there are few optional styles, after all, it is mainly an MPV.
Secondly, it is Toyota of the island country, this car has many advantages compared with Ford and Dodge, one is that the price is cheaper, and the other is very fuel-efficient, although the oil money of the US imperialist is very cheap, because taxes and fees, highway fees and the like are added to gasoline, and a liter seems to be about a US knife, which is about the same as the domestic oil price.
But don't forget, people earn American knives, and domestic money is soft sister coins, and others do not adopt road tolls, bridge tolls, tolls, only in a very small number of privately built highways will set up cards, but the number is very small, these are counted in the fuel fee.
At the same time, the most important thing is that others have more than six soft sister coins for a US knife, but what they earn in China is not a US knife, and the exchange rate is six times the difference, but the income is not as much as six times, the middle class of the US imperialist is the income of 50,000 US dollars, and the income of the domestic middle class is about 100,000 US dollars of annual income, even if it is the middle class, the most important thing is that the purchase rate of 50,000 US dollars is far more than the purchase rate of 300,000 soft sister coins in China, so after coming here, don't think about those.
Toyota's pickup trucks have recently sold well in the United States, but in the case of Jiang Hai, he is reluctant to buy a car from the island country.
In addition to the previous three, there is also a more high-end CMG, this car used to be a commercial vehicle, but now it is also a pickup, according to Trulluff, he recommended these four cars, which can be used.
And after Jiang Hai hesitated for a while, he decided to go with the flow, although he also wanted to get some weird cars, but it was really hard to say how the performance was, so after hesitating for a while, Jiang Hai decided to buy Ford.
But since you have decided to buy Ford, you have to look at the model, Ford's pickup truck is the F series, a total of seven models.
From small to large they are F150, F250, 350, 450, 550, 650 and 750.
Among them, the most common is naturally the F150, commonly known as the Raptor, the price in the country, about 500,000, but here to add 40 percent of the customs tariff, deduct this 40 percent, about 350,000, and in addition to six times the exchange rate difference, a brand-new, high-power, top-of-the-line Ford Beast F150, here about 60,000 US dollars.
Counting the license plate, insurance, and the car purchase tax for the first year of buying a car, it is probably less than 80,000 US dollars, but Jiang Hai bought this car for agriculture and animal husbandry, with government subsidies, and after the subsidy comes down, according to Truf's algorithm, it is about 58,000 US dollars, which is indeed very cheap, 6.2L displacement, almost any work that can be done.
Jiang Hai was a little moved, but Robbins shook his head, indeed, the average family farm, there is a Ford F150, it's about the same, but Jiang Hai's farm is too big, not to mention pulling boats and fish in the future, just pulling cattle, 150 will not work.
"You can buy one of these cars, and it's okay to transport some hay and stuff in normal times, but if you want to work, you have to use something else." Hearing Robbins' words beside him, Jiang Hai sighed, why is a good car in his eyes, it is so unbearable here.
"Indeed, your farm is too big, if you want to transport cattle, this car is at most fifty heads at a time, and no more will be able to pull it, if you want to use the farm, you can take a look, the 450, 550, 650 and 750 over there are too expensive, I don't recommend it, you can buy it yourself." Hearing Robbins's words, Duruff here also said with a look of agreement.
After all, Jiang Hai will be regarded as his neighbor in the future, if he cheats him, maybe this young rich man will have something to do with him in the future, so he is still ready to talk about it first.
According to him, Ford's F450 and F550 are medium-sized cars in this series, and the price has risen a lot, an F450, if calculated according to the government's subsidy, a car costs 140,000 US dollars, which must be sold in China for a million, and 550 is 210,000 US dollars, which is indeed a little too expensive, but the power of this car is more powerful than five 150, according to Robbins, if the F550 pulls the cow, it can be connected to the board car at one time and pull 300 cows.
This is already standard for large farms, and in most large farms in the west, 450 or 550 are used.
But in fact, from the beginning, Jiang Hai's eyes were not on these cars, and his eyes were always on the largest one.
