Tang Song had certainly heard of the Wuling Hongguang S. In the domestic MPV field, it ranked high in both sales and reputation. As a young man, he had come across many jokes about Wuling but didn’t mind the brand. Influenced by those around him, he had always considered small sedans for his first car, never really thinking about microvans or MPVs.

However, seeing the spirited Wuling Hongguang S in the sunlight, he felt a strong attraction to it. It was like discovering a fresh cabbage in a field of flowers—unconventional but surprisingly delightful.

Tang Song walked up to the car and asked, "Brother Li, how much for this Wuling?"

Li Mingjun hesitated before explaining, "Let me be upfront; I’m not trying to rip you off. The owner spent quite a bit on modifications and maintained the car very well, so the price is a bit high. The owner wants 43,000 yuan, but I think I can get them to knock off 1,000."

This car had originally cost over 60,000 yuan new, and with three years of use and its current condition, its market price was under 40,000 yuan. That’s why Li Mingjun hadn't bought it himself and was helping sell it on consignment. He had posted about it on social media, and although many people inquired, they balked at the price. Often, the money spent on modifications didn't translate to resale value, sometimes even making the car harder to sell.

The owner likely needed money urgently, leaving the car here to show to potential buyers and hoping for a quick sale.

Hearing this, Tang Song nodded. "Brother Li, I really like this car. Can you tell me more about its condition?"

The price was slightly high but within his acceptable range since the system task required a price under 45,000 yuan.

Li Mingjun patted the car's rear and began his introduction. "This car was registered in April 2020, making it exactly three years old now, with the original paint and no major accidents. It’s candy white with fog lights, modified with LED projector headlights, and has 3M film and a roof rack. It features power steering, central air conditioning, 14-inch alloy wheels, and power windows. The rear seats can be folded down, extending the trunk length to over two meters and nearly 1.5 meters wide, making it very suitable for hauling goods."

He opened the car door, revealing the interior. "The interior is covered in gray and white leather, with brown accents on the door handles, gear shift, headrests, and dashboard, creating a stylish contrast. Additionally, the button area has bright metal decals, giving it a clean, high-end look."

Tang Song was impressed, noting that the original owner must have loved the car, with modifications that perfectly matched his taste. This blend of exterior toughness and interior elegance struck a chord with him.

Li Mingjun squeezed the seats and continued, "The interior features soft padding, full black rubber mats, a high-definition screen navigation, a branded dashcam, and an upgraded sound system. Honestly, this car has had nearly 10,000 yuan worth of modifications. If you like the design, spending an extra three to four thousand isn't a loss." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ N0v3l.Fiɾe.net

After some thought, Tang Song said, "Brother Li, do you have the keys? I’d like to take it for a spin."

"Sure, just a moment!" Li Mingjun quickly agreed and walked towards a small room.

Guo Peng couldn't help but comment, "Little Song, the car is good but a bit pricey. Also, there's another important factor: you're at the age to start dating. When buying a car, consider this aspect too. Your friends might joke around and enjoy driving it, but taking a girl out on a date in this car..."

Guo Peng didn’t look down on the Wuling Hongguang. In fact, after entering society, he had never looked down on any car. However, Tang Song was 25, soon to face dating and marriage prospects. A decent-looking sedan would add points in this area.

Hearing this, Tang Song nodded, "I understand. Thanks for the reminder, Brother Peng."

If it were the old him, he would have to consider many factors for his first car, which he'd likely keep for a long time. But with the system now, as long as he completed this task, he could get a car worth up to 500,000 yuan, removing any worries. As long as he liked it, he’d go for it.

Li Mingjun soon returned, handing over a remote key.

Tang Song thanked him, bent down into the driver’s seat, and adjusted the seat position. The comfort was excellent.

Securing his seatbelt and gripping the steering wheel, Tang Song felt a surge of joy and satisfaction.

After confirming the gear was in neutral, he pressed the clutch, inserted the key, and started the engine.

With the engine’s roar, the instrument panel and car system lit up.

Releasing the handbrake, he shifted into first gear, balancing the clutch and accelerator, and smoothly set off.

Thanks to previous test drives, he handled this one with ease.

The control was stable, the steering felt just right, and it turned smoothly. Thanks to the light body and decent power output, acceleration was good.

After a test drive, everything felt just right.

Admiring the stylish interior, sleek exterior lines, spacious cabin, and massive trunk, Tang Song took a deep breath, touched the rearview mirror, and excitedly declared, "This is the one!"

Guo Peng opened his mouth to say something but decided against it.

Li Mingjun was slightly stunned, not expecting Tang Song to decide so quickly, "Alright, I’ll contact the owner now and try to negotiate the price down. Let’s get the contract signed today. The transfer will need to wait until Monday, but I’ll handle it for you."

Since this was a consignment sale, he earned a commission and handling fee.

"Great, thank you, Brother Li." Tang Song smiled, giving an OK gesture.

At this point, Guo Peng dropped any thoughts of dissuading him and joined Tang Song in the car, taking photos to share in their group chat.

He posted, "Congratulations to Tang Song for almost acquiring a 2020 Wuling Hongguang S!"

As soon as the message went out, the chat erupted.

[Li Zhichao: "The interior is gorgeous! Bring it to the office so I can test drive it, please!"]

[Wang Chaoyang: "@Tang Song, I’ll need your help when I move!"]

Amidst the lively chat, Li Mingjun returned, looking a bit troubled. "The owner can only reduce the price by 500 yuan, making it 42,500 yuan. Can you accept that? However, both the compulsory and commercial insurances still have six months left, which can be transferred to you, saving you some money."

"Not even a thousand off?" Guo Peng frowned. "Mingjun, try to negotiate further."

Li Mingjun thought for a moment, then suggested to Tang Song, "Why not wait a bit? The more desperate the owner gets, the lower the price will go."

"No need, let's go with this price." Tang Song didn't want to delay.

Seeing the deal close, Li Mingjun sighed with relief, "Alright, the owner will be here around 1 PM. I'll prepare the contract for now."

Tang Song nodded, his eyes fixed on the Wuling Hongguang S, unable to look away.

His first car, finally the one he liked. It was truly a reason to celebrate.
