American TV Series: Starting with Sheldon’s Wool Collection
Chapter 259 Buying a Car
The university hasn't officially had a holiday yet, so little Sheldon can go to the University of Texas first and try to feel what it's like to live independently.
Moreover, Professor John teaches at the University of Texas and can also help take care of little Sheldon.
Therefore, Grandma Connie's suggestion was a good idea.
After another discussion, Mary half-heartedly agreed to the suggestion that her youngest son go to the University of Texas to experience college life.
Of course, the premise is that little Sheldon can take care of himself there, otherwise Mary will go there and pick him up at any time.
After all, the University of Texas is not far from the small town of Telford, just over an hour's drive away.
"Great, I can finally go to college to study." After getting his mother's permission, little Sheldon pulled out the admission notice from the University of Texas and cheered.
Professor John's research project for the Nobel Prize is about to be finalized. Little Sheldon can go there this time, on the one hand, to learn university knowledge, and on the other hand, to help Professor John.
Driven by the double temptation, little Sheldon also longed to attend the University of Texas, a college that was not ranked highly.
He is even thinking about how to work with Professor John to win the Nobel Prize next year.
When it was decided that little Sheldon would go to school, the atmosphere at the Cooper family's dining table also relaxed.
"George, how are you asking about the car?" At this time, Mike took the opportunity to ask about the second-hand car.
"Dell has a 70% to 80% new Dodge pickup truck for sale. He offered a price of 10,000 yuan..." After George introduced the situation of the second-hand car, he continued: "Mike, actually you can drive mine. The car is going back, I won’t be using it during this time anyway.”
Although he knew that Mike had made some money, considering that he was still a student, it was still a bit wasteful to buy a car with 10,000 yuan.
What's more, he originally owned a red Ferrari sports car.
And it was during the summer vacation. George, who didn't have to go to work and had no plans to go out, didn't mind lending his old Ford to Mike to drive.
"Forget it, George. Your old car is almost obsolete." Grandma Connie, who was listening to the discussion between Mike and the two, rolled her eyes and said, "Mike, you can drive my Chevrolet. The quality guarantees that the horsepower is absolutely strong. "
"Of course, in exchange, you need to lend your Ferrari to grandma to drive for a few days..."
Mike's red Ferrari is definitely considered a high-end car in the small town of Telford. It is very popular when driven out. Grandma Connie has long wanted to try it.
"Forget it, I'd better go check out the pickup truck first." Mike, whose face was shattered by the abacus, rejected Grandma Connie's proposal.
Grandma Connie's Chevrolet was also quite old, and was not in much better condition than George's classic car.
Mike, who was not short of money now, decided to buy a suitable second-hand car for transportation for the sake of insurance.
The next morning, when Mary took Grandma Connie and drove little Sheldon to the University of Texas together, Mike also drove George and others in a Ferrari to the sporting goods store in the town.
Yes, the person selling second-hand cars this time is none other than the owner of Dell, the sporting goods company.
"Look who's here?" In front of the sporting goods store, owner Dell, who is also a rugby enthusiast, warmly welcomed Mike.
Because of the newspaper's publicity some time ago, Mike is now very popular in Telford City.
The boss of Dell even put up a poster of Mike in his own sporting goods store as a selling point.
After all, the latter had bought protective gear in this store before.
After some pleasantries, Dale led Mike and his group to his pickup truck, indicating that Mike could test drive it first.
That's the good thing about doing business with acquaintances, everything is negotiable.
Immediately, Mike tried to drive a Dodge pickup truck, felt the performance of the car, and then checked the mileage of the car.
This car is indeed, as George said, 70% to 80% new, and the driving experience is also very good.
Next, it’s time to negotiate the price.
George, who sensed Mike's intention to buy a car, took the lead and said, "Dale, how about a family price of five thousand yuan?"
"Impossible! You have all seen how old and new this car is. Five thousand yuan is too little..." Boss Dell, who looked like he had been stabbed in the artery, shook his head and said that he could not accept the price given by George.
It's really a bit cruel to cut the price in half.
"How about we add a little more, six thousand~" George continued to play the emotional card: "This car is sold to Mike. He is still a student. It is too expensive and he can't afford it."
"No, no, no, six thousand is still too little." Boss Dell paused and said, "For the sake of acquaintance, I can give you a discount. How about nine thousand? This car is worth the price. .”
"Mike, what do you think?" George, who failed to play the emotional card, handed the initiative in negotiations back to Mike.
"This car is really good..." Mike first confirmed his intention to buy the car, then looked at the boss of Dell and said, "The price is 8,000. If possible, I will pay now."
Second-hand car sales are all about what you want, and prices often fluctuate greatly.
As for Boss Dell's second-hand Dodge, the price of 8,000 yuan is quite reasonable, and it won't cost him much.
"Okay, just eight thousand~"
After hearing Mike's decisive offer, Dell's boss didn't hesitate too much. He regarded it as a favor and agreed to the deal.
After paying the bill by swiping his card, Mike successfully got his second car—a 70% to 80% new Dodge pickup truck.
"Mike, can I drive this pickup truck?" Little George asked expectantly after the transaction.
Looking at the Dodger in front of him, his eyes almost dazzled.
A few days ago, little George also celebrated his sixteenth birthday and had the legal right to drive a vehicle.
As long as you are over 16 years old, you can drive on the road under the supervision of an experienced driver even if you do not have a driving license.
"Of course, if you are willing, you can go for a drive." Looking at the expectant look in his eyes, Mike agreed to his request.
It’s just a mobility scooter, no big deal.
"That's great ~ Thank you, Mike." Little George was so excited that he came up to hug Mike, but he didn't feel embarrassed when the latter stopped him.
Afterwards, he invited his father to accompany him and excitedly drove the Dodge for a drive around the town.
"Let's go, let's go to the commercial street in the town." After Mike planned the next itinerary, he looked at Peggy and confirmed: "Are your parents sure they won't come to pick you up until noon?"
"Yes, we talked on the phone before," Peggy replied.
"That's good, there's still time now, we just want to go shopping~" Mike motioned for Peggy and Missy to get in the car, and the three of them drove slowly to the commercial street.
The process of buying a car was very smooth, which gave Mike enough time to go shopping with the two little girls.
More than an hour later, the two little girls, carrying a gift bag of snacks in one hand and fruity ice cream in the other, got in the car and set off on their way home.
To be honest, Mike was a bit miscalculated. The weather today was too hot and not suitable for staying outdoors for too long.
Later, when the three returned to Grandma Connie's house, Peggy's parents hadn't arrived yet. George and his son, who drove across from each other for a drive, also didn't come back.
So, Mike asked the two little girls to rest in the room while he prepared to make lunch.
At this moment, Peggy's parents and her sister rushed over.
Then with the help of Mrs. Linda, everyone enjoyed a sumptuous lunch. Afterwards, Mike and Missy watched Peggy's family leave.
According to Mr. Barry during the meal, the family was indeed going on a summer trip.
