Hearing the price, Hans sneered and said, "What about the MSRP?"
MSRP was the recommended selling price of the car manufacturer. The price written on the invoice was transparent and could be seen by the consumers. However, there were more tricks in the MSRP.
When the dealer helped the manufacturer to sell the car, there would definitely be rebates and sales commissions. After deducting the commission, the MSRP was the most meaningful price for the consumers.
However, the salesman could not tell them the truth.
Carl smiled. "We don't even know the price ourselves. Only the manager and the boss know. I'm sorry, but I can't give you an answer."
Hans gave Li Du a look, then patted Carl's shoulder and led him to one side. Hans whispered something to Carl.
Soon, they returned. Carl said, "If you don't apply for a loan, the OTD will be 54,000 dollars. This is the real price, absolutely real!"
Li Du looked at Hans, who nodded. He said, "Sure, I won't apply for a loan. Cash."
He had only been in America for a short time and did not have a long enough credit history. It would be difficult for him to get a loan to buy a car and a house.
Even if the dealer agreed to take a loan, the requirements were often harsh. The down payment and interest rates were high.
However, there was a school loan in America. If the school was the guarantor, the conditions could be relaxed. It was a pity that Mr. Li had no school to rely on.
Hearing Li Du's words, Carl smiled happily and brought them to the Z4 booth to see the car. He even poured them coffee and explained the car's structure.
The BMW Z4 was a convertible sports car introduced in 2009. As an entry-level two-seater for a luxury brand, it was famous for its outstanding appearance and spacious interior.
Li Du did not know much about cars, but Hans did. He discussed the car's configuration with Carl and used his bargaining skills to get the dealer to give them a few more items.
Carl was a very honest salesman. He said, "Actually, if you can wait, why not? The Z4 might be discontinued. BMW and Toyota are preparing to jointly produce a Z5 sports car."
Li Du shook his head. "This is the car. If there's no problem, I'll pay."
There were a lot of procedures to buy a new car. There were taxes, transfer fees, registration fees, and so on. There was also a license plate and insurance. It took half a day to complete all the procedures.
After completing the procedures and buying the car, Hans happily prepared to drive the new car back.
Li Du shook his head and said with a grin, "Big Fox, this car is a gift I'm planning to give to someone, so I hope that the odometer will be 0 when I deliver it to her."
Big Fox was stunned for a moment, then exclaimed, "Sh * t, you prepared this for that silly Hannah?!"
Li Du shrugged and said, "You finally realized it. Of course it's for her. How many women do I know in America? Who likes the BMW Z4? "
Hanna had always longed for a new car, preferably a sports car, but her salary was not high, so buying a new sports car had become a dream.
Li Du had known for a long time that she liked the BMW Z4. When he was cleaning the house, he saw a few car magazines. The pages introducing the BMW Z4 had been torn off. Obviously, Hannah had kept them.
For him when he first came to the United States, fifty to sixty thousand dollars was too much. He couldn't afford it, but for him now, it was just a small amount of money. Earning fifty to sixty thousand dollars was a piece of cake.
In less than a week, it would be Hannah's birthday, so he wanted to take advantage of this trip to Phoenix to buy a BMW for Hannah as a gift.
Hearing his words, Hans smiled happily and said, "Very good, boy. You finally want to pursue my sister? I can guarantee that if you — "
"Stop, stop, stop. This is a gift of friendship. There's no other meaning." Li Du heard that he was going to talk nonsense again and quickly interrupted him.
Hans said with disdain, "A gift of fifty-four thousand dollars? Whoever believes that is an idiot! "
Li Du said, "Compared to the help Hannah has given me, this gift is too small. I will still thank her in the future."
Hannah had helped him a lot. Not only did she take care of him when he was renting the house, she gave him all kinds of life guidance, and she comforted him after he was kicked out of school. Even the little bug that he was relying on now was given to him by Hannah.
Of course, Hannah didn't know.
The car couldn't be driven back, so Hans found a tow truck. They followed the tow truck back to Flagstaff.
The old Ford F150 was still in the repair shop. It would take at least a week to get it out. Since it was Hannah's birthday soon and they were being targeted by treasure hunters, they decided to rest for a few days.
When they got home, the car was temporarily parked in the parking lot of Pine Tree Tops.
Li Du used the car's coat to carefully protect it. Then he turned around and saw a cold beauty looking at him curiously with her arms crossed.
He hurriedly took a step back and smiled. "You scared me. When did you appear?"
This cold beauty was wearing a police uniform. Naturally, she was his policewoman, Rose.
Rose didn't answer. Instead, she looked at him and asked, "This Z4 is yours? You're not a sissy, are you? "
Li Du said unhappily, "I'm a sissy? Have you ever seen such a tough sissy?! "
"Men don't keep cats and women don't keep dogs. You have such a big cat, drive such a red sports car, and are so hygienic and concerned about your image. Are you gay?" Rose continued to ask.
Li Du was stunned. "Men don't keep cats and women don't keep dogs. You even know this?"
Rose snorted coldly. "Didn't I tell you? My parents are both teachers in a Chinese school. I might know more about Chinese culture than you do. "
Li Du said, "Sorry for the disrespect, but I'm not gay."
"It doesn't matter if you are. I don't discriminate against gays. Love is free, right?" Rose left after saying this, not even giving him a chance to explain.
Li Du couldn't take it anymore. He said to Ah Meow, "D * mn, this woman is crazy, right?"
Ah Meow blinked, his fat face looking confused.
Li Du continued, "What's with that expression? Are you stupid? She just said I can't keep you. I can't keep you. "
Ah Meow blinked again. When he regained his senses, he jumped up and scratched at Rose's back. His expression was fierce. "Meow, meow, meow!"
Before he went back, he went to the supermarket and bought some bamboo shoots when he saw them for sale.
After bringing back some meat and vegetables, Li Du went into the kitchen to cook. Rose walked over and said, "Do you need my help?"
When she got home, she started to dress up. Her beautiful legs looked especially long and straight under her slim pants.
The floor was clean, and she walked on it barefoot. Her feet were slender, and the skin on the back of her feet was as delicate as jade. Her toes were pressed together, and her nails were as red as vermilion.
Li Du took a glance, and Rose's pretty face immediately darkened. "Where are you looking?"
"I'm looking at what kind of nail polish you're wearing. Didn't you say I'm gay? I want to wear it too, "he said angrily.
Rose left the kitchen, but soon returned. She handed him a bottle of nail polish and said, "You're welcome. Take it as a thank you gift for cooking. I won't help you then. Remember to cook for two next time."
Li Du held the bottle of bright red nail polish, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
