Buying a second-hand car in the United States, especially from a private person like Qi Yiming, is quite troublesome. △ ↗ top, because this matter has been bought by Bei Hai himself before, the car in the hands of private people is not taxed in the United States, the price is more appropriate than the car dealership, the price of the car dealership is understandable, the car dealership not only has taxes but also people want to make money.

The advantage is that there is no tax and the price is cheap, but the disadvantage is of course that the car condition is mixed and there is no guarantee. You have to see for yourself what the car is conditioning, and most people rely on their own vision and their own grasp of the car. Another point is that the time can be relatively long, and sometimes it can take months to choose a car that you are happy with.

Like Qi Yiming, first look for information on the craigslist website, which is a large comprehensive classified ad website, which is full of these things that sell life-related products, on this website you only need to enter your city, as well as the car's year, kilometers and other conditions, and the used car you want will jump out.

It's a pretty useful site, covering almost every aspect of life, living in the United States, of course, this life refers to ordinary people, and all kinds of howe can't be included. Ordinary people can almost find anything they need in life. That's really convenient and fast, and it's quite convenient to save money.

Of course, if you need a daughter-in-law or something, this website doesn't sell people, this is not, maybe there are just Beihai's level that can't reach the threshold of knowing. Once Carson, this kid tried to search on this website, and the qualifiers were set up for a few, nothing more than pretty, beautiful. Sexy plus girlfriends and the like, but unfortunately there are no results about living people. There were only a few second-hand and expired adult magazines, and I don't know which one was more boring than Carson.

I found the car I liked. This is just the beginning, because the price of a second-hand car fluctuates greatly, and the price is not easy to grasp for individuals. But don't worry, the Americans have already thought about it for you, someone on the Internet has set up a second-hand car valuation website, where you only need to enter a variety of restrictions, will give a reference price, usually this price is still very authoritative, of course, for the four major cars in the United States. This price will fluctuate quite a bit.

The American god car does not refer to the domestic Volkswagen, the domestic first brother Volkswagen in the United States is not very open, it is estimated that it is similar to the meal, the American mixed demon is the Japanese Toyota and Honda, the so-called four god cars include: Accord, Civic, Corolla and Camry.

And what Qi Yiming wants to see this time is Corolla, one of the magic cars.

Among the used cars in the U.S. market, the Japanese model list is much better than that of American cars, both in terms of failure rate and performance, which is better than other models of the same price in the United States, which has the status of the four major god cars.

After the price is estimated, you can't look at the car, you have to ask for the VIN code of the car from the owner, and you can find out the very detailed situation of the car through this thing. For example, whether there is an overhaul, whether there is an accident, and some maintenance items can generally be checked. Of course, if you hand over such a detailed thing, you must pay for it if you want to check. Generally speaking, a matter of a few dozen dollars is not a matter for Qi Yiming now.

That's how the above thing came down. This is only now the step, that is, to meet the seller and test the car!

The seller that Qi Yiming made an appointment with lived quite far away. and the location of Bei Hai and the two now, pulling a straight line, it is almost the diameter of the city.

Bei Hai drove his pickup truck to the agreed location. I saw a tall young girl standing next to a Corolla, and this girl didn't say what she looked like. This figure is already great, with bright green moving shoes on his feet, tight jeans on his legs, a gray jacket with a high collar on the inside, and a floral plaid cap on his head. Those who are well-dressed are also quite fashionable.

"Is that it?" Bei Hai gestured to the girl not far away and joked to Qi Yiming beside him: "You won't look at other girls' beauty, come over and have some fun!" ”。

Buying a second-hand car and meeting this beautiful girl owner, Bei Hai didn't believe it was a coincidence. Why when I bought a second-hand car, the owner of the car was a forty-year-old uncle wearing big pants, not only with a big waist and a round waist, but also with a few pulls of the chest hair on the chest to make the birds lay eggs.

Qi Yiming looked at a car, it would be such a car owner.

"How did I know, people haven't sent photos, but I've seen pictures of cars!" Qi Yiming said as he pushed the car door, jumped out of the car, and walked towards the girl.

"I don't know, I can't even wait for the time I can pull the car over!" After Bei Hai muttered a sentence in his mouth, he pressed the accelerator lightly on his foot and parked his car behind the butt of Corolla's car, leaving a distance of nearly three meters between the two cars.

"Qi?!" Seeing Qi Yiming coming, the young girl immediately took off the earbuds, asked Qi Yiming, and saw Qi Yiming nodding her head and stretching out her hand to him: "My name is Emma."

"Hello Emma, this is my friend Hull, come with me" After Qi Yiming shook hands with others, he directly introduced Bei Hai.

Bei Hai waved his hand at Emma and smiled, everyone just wanted to see that the car didn't need to be so formal, and Bei Hai didn't get out of the car to grab the girl's hand and shake it.

Emma saw Beihai's new Ford pickup truck and looked around for a moment and said, "What a beautiful big guy!" After speaking, he patted the car door and asked Bei Hai hopefully, "How is it?" ”。

Bei Hai is not a stingy person, and when he saw that the girl was very interested, he said: "If you like it, when you finish trying the car, you can drive it if you have time."

Emma, the girl, was not polite, nodded and said, "OK!"

After chatting for a few more words, Emma looked away from Bei Hai's shiny skin and said to Qi Yiming, "Let's start trying the car?" ”。 After speaking, he took out the car key from his pocket and put it in front of Qi Yiming.

Qi Yiming nodded and took the key, and the two got into the car one after another, while Bei Hai followed behind in his own pickup.

The car tried very smoothly, not only Qi Yiming, Bei Hai also got on the car and tried it, it can be said that after Bei Hai tried a road, he was quite satisfied with the performance of this car. The sound of the engine is not loud, and the tire noise at the speed is also OK, in short, after a round of price testing and then trying the speed brake after a sharp turn, Bei Hai also put his head under the car to look at the engine and gearbox, to see if there is any oil leakage, and then opened the hood to take a look, this trip down Bei Hai gave this car a very good evaluation.

The two big men gave a good evaluation, then the next thing is the price, Qi Yiming, as a car buyer, of course wants to spend less money, more than 6,000 US dollars, and thinks that it can be reduced.

"Emma, the car is pretty good, but how about a little cheaper for five and five hundred?" Qi Yiming immediately cut the price by a few hundred.

Upon hearing the price, Emma shook her pretty little head like a rattle: "No, no! My car is very good, not to mention an accident, I haven't even eaten a red light ticket for a few years of driving, if I wasn't in a hurry to go abroad to work, I wouldn't have sold it! Six thousand two hundred dollars is less, no! ”。

"Let's give it up, or six thousand dollars? How convenient is that, take a whole number? "Qi Yiming wants this car very much, and the condition of the car is really good.

"What's the convenience?" Emma was a little puzzled when she heard this, and didn't understand why six thousand was more convenient than six thousand two hundred.

As soon as Qi Yiming heard it, he understood that Lao Mei either came by card or check, and he didn't know how to count the money, so how much money really had nothing to do with Fang Inconvenience.

"I mean, everyone give way, don't bite six thousand two here, it's six thousand," Qi Yiming said.

Listening to the six thousand that Qi Yiming said, Bei Hai knew that this person really wanted to buy it, to be honest, not to mention the brand that made Bei Hai not very happy, just with the performance of this car, six thousand dollars is indeed worth the money, so he also helped and said: "He wants six thousand dollars, you don't have to hang on craigslist anymore, how good it is ......to save a little time to do other things."

"Will you buy it today?" Emma was a little moved and asked Qi Yiming.

Qi Yiming nodded and said, "Six thousand dollars, I'll buy it if there is no problem after completing the mechanical inspection!" ”。

"That's fine!" Emma nodded in agreement with the price.

Next, everyone drove to the mechanical inspection, which is equivalent to the final step of buying and selling the two, and if there is no problem with this inspection, the transaction will be officially reached. Of course, it is possible to temporarily regret anything, but the seller does not suffer a loss, because the money for the inspection is paid by the buyer, usually less than a few tens of dollars and a hundred dollars.

When he set off, Qi Yiming drove his quasi-car Corolla, and Emma test-drove Bei Hai's pickup truck, and Bei Hai of course sat in the co-pilot position of the pickup truck. The two cars drove one after the other towards the testing site they had just booked.

Although Emma is a girl, she still yearns for the muscle car of the pickup truck, and asks Bei Hai some questions while driving, but when she asks about fuel, the little girl immediately shakes her head a little.

Now Americans are also from time to time before 911, everything likes to be big and fast, the reason why Japanese cars can run rampant is also thanks to this blessing, Americans as soon as the money is tightened, buying things can not be as capricious as before, can save is saved, the fuel of Japanese cars is reflected. Moreover, Japanese cars are not only more fuel-efficient in the hearts of Americans, but also not bad in safety. (To be continued......)
