Chapter 58: Chapter 58: The Top-of-the-line Paramela
"If you go for the top configuration, it would cost around 2.5 million after everything," Zhou Yujie steadied her emotions before responding.
"2.5 million..."
Wu Wei was still somewhat unsatisfied.
That's it?
Aren't Porsche's options supposed to be outrageously expensive?
How come the total comes to just over a million?
Wu Wei was very disappointed with Porsche.
He shook his head and turned to Zhou Yujie, "Then how soon can I get it?"
Zhou Yujie replied, "You can get it in about three months."
Wu Wei was even less satisfied now.
It's one thing to not be able to drive a new car for three months, but the real issue is, I can't spend the money now.
By the time I pay for the car, Sun Yi's favorability rating would have probably exceeded 90 already, then what's the point of the cashback!
Wu Wei then asked, "Do you have any top-configured or high-configured cars in stock?"
"It seems we actually do have one!"
Zhou Yujie thought for a moment, her eyes lit up, "I remember a rich second-generation client ordered a Palamera Turbo S executive stretch version, just the base price was 2.48 million, and it's very luxurious, almost the top configuration."
"He was supposed to pick it up two months ago, but due to poor market conditions this year, his family business ran into some problems, so the deal fell through and the car has been sitting in our showroom."
The base itself is 2.48 million, with options, wouldn't that be upwards of 3.5 million?
And it's a stretch version; doesn't that mean the backspace should also be up to standard now?
Wu Wei became immediately interested, exclaiming, "Senior, why didn't you tell me about such a car sooner!"
Zhou Yujie thought to herself: I didn't know earlier that you would go for something so extravagant!
This car has been sitting in the showroom for over two months now.
Initially, they tried hard to sell it as quickly as possible.
But everyone who saw the price, which was way out of their budget, basically just shook their heads and declined.
"Shall I take you to see it?"
Zhou Yujie said as she turned around, her long, slender, black-stockinged legs moving as she walked and introduced, "This car is the most expensive Palamera in our store, with a 4.0T engine, and it can accelerate from zero to a hundred in just 3.2 seconds..."
Wu Wei wasn't too interested in these data; he only cared about the space and the cost.
The three of them walked to the back of the showroom to the warehouse where a car covered by a tarp was parked.
Zhou Yujie put on gloves and carefully lifted the cover.
An elegant white Palamera sports sedan appeared before Wu Wei and Sun Yi.
At a glance, it looked similar to the basic version of the Palamera but upon closer inspection, one could see many differences in the body of the car.
The car was longer than the previous one, and the interior was more luxurious.
The overall aesthetics and the combination of elements were also impeccable, without any aspect that he immediately disliked.
Sun Yi was also nodding continuously, clearly liking the appearance.
Wu Wei teased Sun Yi, "What do you think? Is this car good-looking?"
Sun Yi seriously nodded, "This car looks even better than the one we saw earlier."
Wu Wei smiled and asked Zhou Yujie, "How much is this car?"
Zhou Yujie checked the data in her hand, "It's 3.9 million in total."
Upon hearing this number, Wu Wei nodded, it just barely met his expectations.
Sun Yi, however, was startled.
This price could almost match three to four times that of the car they saw earlier!
She suddenly felt a little nervous.
This car was so expensive, she hesitated to drive it.
If it got scratched or bumped, she would be devastated, probably unable to sleep for days and nights.
"Maybe we should just buy the one we saw earlier."
Sun Yi tugged at Wu Wei's sleeve and said.
"What, you don't like this one?"
Wu Wei asked, somewhat surprised.
"It's not that I don't like it."
Sun Yi shook her head and said, "I've never driven a car since I got my driver's license, and I'm scared to drive such an expensive car, afraid I might wreck it."
"Oh, worried about that, huh?"
Wu Wei said with a smile as he patted her head: "It's alright, just treat it like a regular car, it doesn't matter if you bump it here and there, if it breaks I'll buy you a new one, just don't mix up the accelerator and the brake."
"How can I treat such an expensive car as a regular one?"
Sun Yi said, holding Wu Wei's hand, "Just thinking about it makes me nervous."
Wu Wei felt that was reasonable, for a person who had never driven before, starting with a Porsche was indeed too much pressure.
After all, she wasn't a pampered heiress who had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, indifferent to millions.
Let alone her, even he would feel nervous driving it if it weren't equivalent to just a few hundred dollars for him!
At that moment, Zhou Yujie spoke to Sun Yi, "Don't worry, our store has a driving simulator that replicates real driving conditions. You can try it later, get used to the feel of driving before you hit the road."
"That's great!"
Wu Wei patted Sun Yi on the shoulder and said, "Try the simulator later, once you're familiar with it, you won't be scared anymore."
"Hmm, okay then."
Sun Yi obediently nodded her head.
Seeing that Sun Yi had no objections, Wu Wei then said to Zhou Yujie, "Senior sister, I'll take this car!"
"Alright, follow me, I'll take you to handle the paperwork."
Having made a big sale, Zhou Yujie was overjoyed, her smile blossoming: "Did you bring your ID card?"
"I did," Sun Yi nodded.
The three went to the customer area of the store to start going through the contract signing and payment process.
After the payment and paperwork were done, Wu Wei led Sun Yi out of the customer room.
At that moment, all the salespeople in the store had lined up outside, and they bowed with a smile, saying, "Congratulations on becoming a distinguished Porsche owner, may the Black Horse Golden Shield protect your noble life!"
Then everyone applauded warmly to celebrate.
Sun Yi was completely bewildered, somewhat at a loss.
Then Zhou Yujie smiled and handed her the Porsche keys.
Sun Yi blankly reached out her hand to take the keys, then started trembling slightly with excitement.
She looked down, fondly gazing at the keys for a while, then suddenly stuffed them into Wu Wei's hand, "Here, take them."
"For what?"
Wu Wei pushed the keys back into her palm, "This is your car, not mine; keep the keys."
Sun Yi, reassured, looked at Wu Wei and then firmly gripped the keys, gently caressing them.
Seeing this scene, several female salespeople at the back of the group immediately gathered together and began to whisper among themselves.
"This guy is so low-key, wearing ordinary brands, yet he spends 3.9 million just like that!"
"Oh my, he bought that Panamera from the warehouse?!"
"He must be incredibly wealthy; is he a second generation rich kid from one of Jicheng's families?"
"It really is infuriating to compare people! That woman isn't any prettier than me, how come she's so lucky to have such a rich and generous boyfriend!"
"Pfft, stop flattering yourself, his girlfriend is way prettier than you!"
"Exactly, around here only Zhou Yujie can match her for looks, and despite how pretty Zhou Yujie is, she's still here selling cars like us."
