Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot

Chapter 57 The Taste of Freedom

Unlike other vehicles, motorhomes prioritize comfort.

Irving got out of the driver's seat, went outside, looked around, and then opened the awning.

He was immediately surprised to find that the outdoor shower in the RV was still usable.

Next, he tested various electrical appliances in the car, including the refrigerator, gas stove, and microwave oven, and found no problems. Even the aging of the vehicle's wiring was not as serious as he had expected.

Although I'll need to find a repair shop for some basic maintenance after buying this RV, given its current condition, even maintenance won't cost too much.

This fits Irving's budget perfectly.

"What do you think, buddy? This RV is selling for $2000, it's absolutely a steal!"

Seeing that Irving was somewhat interested, the white shop owner quickly promoted the car, "You know, nowadays, RVs like these, produced in the 1980s and 90s and still in such good condition, are highly sought after by many collectors."

These kinds of RVs are very rare. To be honest, if you buy one for $2000, do some simple maintenance and refurbishment, you can resell it for at least $4000, or even tens of thousands of dollars!

If I didn't have so many cars here and no time to clean them all, I would definitely refurbish it properly...

As the white boss spoke, he gently shook his head, revealing a reluctant expression.

But Irving wasn't buying it.

As an Asian expert at bargaining, Irving simply held up one finger, brandishing his ultimate weapon, "$1000, I'm only willing to offer $1000!"

"$1000?!" Upon hearing Irving's offer, the white boss immediately shook his head. "Impossible. Your price is too low. I'd rather keep him here than sell him to you for $1000!"

Dude, you know, I paid a whopping $700 for this car!

If you really want it, it's $1800, and you can drive it away right now.

If it's below $1800, then forget it. You should look at other cars.

As he spoke, the white owner reached out to take back the RV keys.

"Hey buddy, you don't need to bluff me like that. My friend already told me before I came that all the cars here are scrapped. This RV probably didn't even cost $100, let alone $700." Seeing that the other party was sticking to the bottom line of $1800, Irving directly exposed the truth.

Upon realizing that the other party was not a tourist who had just arrived in Miami, the white boss immediately rolled his eyes.

Seeing that his secret had been exposed, he simply stopped pretending and frankly admitted, "Okay, buddy, I admit that this RV was originally a scrap vehicle, but to tell you the truth, this vehicle is really good. With a little repair, this vehicle can definitely be used for another ten years without any problems."

Since you really want it, here's the deal, buddy, $1500! That's the lowest I can go.

You can check out other car cemeteries; you definitely won't find RVs with such good interiors and condition anywhere else.

"Buddy, I only have $1000. If it's not enough, forget it." Seeing that the boss was still unwilling to budge, Irving shook his head and turned to leave.

When the white boss saw that Irving didn't seem to be joking and was really going to leave, he couldn't sit still any longer and gritted his teeth.

Just as Irving was about to leave the shop, he immediately shouted, "Wait, buddy!"

"$1000, I'll take it! Consider it making friends!"

"It's a pleasure working with you!" Irving turned around and smiled.

After handing over the $1000 cash check, the white boss immediately extended his hand, grinned, and said, "My name is Sean. It's really hard to make money off you Asians."

"But buddy, I like people like you who are decisive and efficient. Let's work together again in the future if there's a chance!"

"My name is Owen. It's a pleasure doing business with you! I hope you can give me a discount next time I buy a car, so I don't have to haggle like this." Owen reached out, took the RV key, and joked.

"Hahaha, buddy, you're really funny!"

The white shop owner took the cash check, quickly checked its authenticity, and readily said, "Don't worry, I've got it. Irving, next time you come, I'll definitely give you the bottom line!"

After the deal was successfully completed, Irving provided his personal information so that the other party could begin printing out the transfer documents and vehicle registration information.

Don't be fooled by the fact that the cars in these car graveyards are all scrapped vehicles. To be honest, turning scrapped cars into second-hand cars that can be traded normally is just a piece of cake for them.

Of course, this service is not free.

Irving had originally considered asking James for help, but when he heard that the owner could handle the paperwork for the RV for just $50, Irving immediately gave up on the idea.

In less than half an hour, the registration for the RV was completed.

To Irving's surprise, the white shop owner was surprisingly generous and gave him some gas for free.

After tidying up, the elderly white man put the organized documents in a file bag and handed them directly to Irving, instructing him, "All the documents have been signed. All you need to do is take these to the vehicle registration office to register, or have someone register them online."

Irving nodded, glanced at the documents, and casually asked, "With these documents, can I go get a car license plate?"

The old white man wasn't surprised at all by Irving's question. He calmly replied, "Of course not. You still need to pay taxes to get a license plate. You can find an agent near the DMV to help you."

"Of course, if you need this service, I can help you with it, but there will be a $200 fee."

"Never mind then, I'll just ask my friend for help." Irving immediately abandoned the idea of ​​asking his boss for help.

joke!

He only bought the car for $1000, but the registration fee is $200? Is that reasonable?

No wonder there are so many cheap cars in these car graveyards that nobody wants them. Some of the cars are even less expensive than the license plate fees. In a sense, these scrapped cars are indeed a bit of a waste.

After receiving the keys and paperwork, Owen got back into the car and did a quick check of the wiring. Once he was sure there were no problems, he started the vehicle.

With a "hum," the RV shook slightly, then started steadily, spewing out several plumes of thick smoke from its rear.

Irving drove away from the dealership steadily, waved to the white owner, and then drove onto the highway.

Irving opened Google Maps on his phone, randomly selected the nearest gas station, and turned on the car radio.

He listened to classic American songs on the radio while rolling down the car window and reaching out to feel the breeze rushing past.

Irving took a deep breath, a look of enjoyment on his face.

Sure enough, having a car makes all the difference.

He feels much freer now, able to go wherever he wants!
