Los Angeles Detective

"fuck!"

Early the next morning.

Luke opened his eyes and couldn't help but swear.

Went to the bar party last night to celebrate his promotion to Inspector.

In Rhett's words, there is a rising star in the police force.

As a result, as soon as I left the bar door, it fell down.

Luke has been waiting for a call, hoping that the patrolman can find his motorcycle as soon as possible, but there has been no reply.

Luke originally planned to go shopping today to buy some things that were missing at home, but now that he doesn't have a car, it's inconvenient to go out.

I can only change my plan and buy a car first.

Luke has no experience buying a car in Los Angeles, so he needs to find a consultant.

His colleagues were all at work, so he asked for a few days off to rest.

It's not easy to find a colleague to look at the car together.

After a while, Luke picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Hi."

An elderly man's voice came from the phone, "Did you call the wrong number?"

"Grandpa, I'm calling you."

"I'm glad you still remember my phone number."

"Of course, I always remember."

"What's the matter?"

"Do you have time today? I want to ask you a favor."

"tell me the story."

"I want to buy a car, but I don't have much experience. I need a consultant."

"It's okay to be a staff officer, it's another matter to borrow money."

"I have money."

"Good, see you later."

...

Half an hour later, an Audi Q5 drove into the Ruidu community.

Luke stood at the door of the house waving, the car stopped in front of the door, and the window of the passenger compartment was opened.

An old Caucasian man pointed his head and said, "This neighborhood has a good environment."

Luke sat in the passenger cab and looked it over, "The car is not bad."

"Yeah, I'm a rich old man."

Luke shrugged, "It's no wonder Uncle Val has been sluggish. It turns out he has a strong backing."

"Don't even think about it, I'd rather give you the inheritance than him."

"I wish you a long life."

"Hypocritical boy." The old man asked while starting the car, "What kind of car do you want to buy?"

"Not ready yet."

"What's the budget?"

"About eighty thousand."

"Young people want to buy a good car, I can understand that. I was the same when I was young, but do what you can.

I heard Linda say that you haven't paid off the loan to buy that Harley, so don't put too much pressure on yourself.

When you become successful like me in the future, it will not be too late to buy a luxury car. "

Originally, Luke didn't feel much about this preaching, because he is not a person who likes to spend ahead of time and spend money indiscriminately.

But when I heard the word Harley, I remembered the sad things again.

"Grandpa, I completely agree with what you said, consumption must be done according to one's ability.

Some time ago, I solved a major case and won a bonus of more than 100,000 yuan. "

"are you kidding me?"

"What I said is true."

"Bullshit, I don't believe that solving a case can reward so much money, otherwise I would have become a policeman."

Luke asked lightly, "Have you heard of Schilder Hasson?"

"Of course, the Impressionist master Schild Hasson, a great oil painter, what does it have to do with you?"

"I solved an oil painting case about him. The oil painting is worth ten million dollars. Do you still think a hundred thousand dollars is more?"

"Wow, you're a lucky kid."

Luke smiled, "Luck alone can't solve the case."

"It's better than your uncle, at least you can afford to rent a house." The old man sighed, "God, what mistake did I make in my previous life, I still have to raise a son at such an old age."

...

There are also auto 4S stores in the United States, but it is rare to hear incidents of cheating customers in China.

Americans don't cheat people?

Of course not.

40 years ago, 4S stores in the United States were also very deceptive, and even worse than domestic ones.

At that time, cars in the United States were already very popular, but the maintenance cost was very expensive, and the rights and interests of consumers were not protected. A female car owner changed all this through rights protection.

There was something wrong with her Passat, and she went to the 4S shop for repairs. The 4S shop promised to fix it soon, and the female car owner didn't think much about it, so she threw the car there first.

After a few days, the female car owner picked up the car, but the 4S shop said to wait a few more days, and the female car owner agreed, but the wait was three months.

The female car owner is in a hurry, you don't have time to fix it, I will fix it elsewhere.

But when the female car owner made a request, she was rejected on the grounds that she had signed a repair contract.

At that time, the female car owner was furious. Could it be that I can't be the master of my own car?

The female car owner started the road to rights protection.

This road was not easy and she suffered a lot of threats, but the hostess persisted and gained the attention of relevant departments with the support of many car owners.

A legal loophole has been filled. Since then, the quality of cars and the rights and interests of consumers have been guaranteed.

According to Luke's budget and requirements, Grandpa Robert helped him choose several brands.

Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Porsche, Lexus, etc.

Afterwards, the two began to choose a car. The cars of these brands are all good, just to see which one is more suitable.

The two went to the BMW shop first, and Luke took a test drive of the BMW 740. The feeling of this car is still very good, but the vision may be worse than that of an SUV.

Luke also tested the BMW X6, which is a coupe-style SUV with good model, interior, handling and power. The only drawback is the slip-back shape, which results in relatively small rear space.

Luke is 1.85 meters tall and sitting in the back row is a bit of a head.

Later, Robert suggested that Luke test drive the X5.

In Luke's impression, I always feel that X6 is more expensive than X5, and it must be better than X5.

But in Robert's words, X6 is just positioned differently from X5, not necessarily better than X5.

And in terms of value preservation, X5 is better than X6.

In his opinion, the positioning of the X6 is problematic. It is a sporty SUV, which itself is completely different.

The overall performance of the BMW is good. After a test drive, Luke already has a rough standard in his mind.

The car you test drive again cannot be inferior to the car of this brand.

Then, test drive the Lexus.

Lexus is selling well in the U.S.

Japan is the pony of the United States. The price of Japanese cars is lower than that of the same level of American cars. The company itself is controlled by the United States, and most of the profits of car companies return to the pockets of the United States.

Luke is not a cynic, but he doesn't like the Japanese anyway.

If the conditions are average, Japanese cars may be considered from the perspective of fuel economy.

There is no way, they are too poor to calculate the price of oil, and they are not qualified to choose.

But it's different now, he has money, so he naturally wants to pick the one he likes.

After a brief test drive of a Lexus, he left.

The next one is Porsche 4S store.

The exterior looks streamlined body is very beautiful.

Open the door to prepare for a test drive. I feel that the interior is average and the configuration is not as good as that of BMW.

After asking, I found out that this is standard equipment, and Porsche generally requires optional equipment.

According to the salesman, this reflects the uniqueness of Porsche cars.

Spending more money is one aspect. The key is to wait three to six months before picking up the car.

Luke is in dire need of a car now, and the daylilies will be cold by then.

I feel that this car company is a bit hypocritical.

Finally, Luke went to the Mercedes-Benz 4S shop.

As soon as I entered the door, I saw a black Mercedes-Benz G500.

Different from the current streamlined cars, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a square outline, a very simple design outline, but it has an indescribable aesthetic feeling, tough, majestic, domineering, and fashionable.

The two round headlights are like two cute big eyes, making the appearance much more rounded.

Luke was instantly drawn to it.

Enter the car for a test drive, very comfortable leather seats, very spacious space, high body and good vision, realizing the freedom of space in the car.

Start the car, the power is very strong, and the performance and handling are very high.

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz G500 has added a lot of sense of technology. The large screen is equipped with a multifunctional sports steering wheel, a smart parking system with a 360° camera, remote start, and an air negative ion generator in the car...

With its retro trendy design and the sound of the door closing "loaded", this car is the "dream car" in the minds of many men.

Of course, this car is not without its flaws.

The only downside is that the price is too expensive, and the naked car needs 120,000 US dollars.

Buying a car in the United States requires consumption tax: generally ranging from 6% to 8%, and the tax laws of each state are different.

A car lands in Los Angeles for almost $130,000.

This was way beyond Luke's budget.

Luke now has total assets of 212,000 US dollars.

Among them, 167,000 yuan in cash and 45,000 yuan in system reserves.

If you want to buy it, you have the ability to buy it in full.

But, he thought it was a bit expensive.

Asking him to give up and buy another car, he felt a little reluctant.

This is not to say that other cars are not good, BMW X5 and X6 are all good, but some things are afraid of comparison.

Forget it if you don't see the Mercedes-Benz G500.

But now that he saw it, he really liked it.

Luke was very tangled and vacillating, so he simply ran to have lunch first.

I went to a Huaguo restaurant, ordered a few dishes and drank some wine.

The way Robert looked at his grandson had changed a bit.

He didn't give any further advice, Luke's financial ability has exceeded his expectations.

He has no experience in this area, and he has never bought such an expensive car!

After a meal, Luke figured it out, since he has the ability, he will buy what he likes.

If the money is gone, you can earn it again.

In the afternoon, I gritted my teeth and picked up the Mercedes-Benz G500.

Men, be tough on yourself.
