Reborn in America: I Have an Equipment Slot
Chapter 59 Picking Up a Bargain
After a moment's thought, Dodge took off his gloves and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly.
"Sorry, buddy." Dodge walked up to Owen, shrugged, and said humorously:
"It's been a long time since I've encountered such a classic old guy. I got a little too excited, just like a man seeing those swimsuit beauties on the beach, unable to control his impulse."
"I understand. I get just as easily drawn into things I like." Owen nodded. It was clear that Dodge genuinely loved these classic cars.
Otherwise, the other party wouldn't act this way, wanting to fix anything that's even slightly imperfect.
"Thank goodness, I was afraid you wouldn't understand how I feel." Seeing that Owen didn't blame him, Dodge was overjoyed and breathed a sigh of relief.
"I thought you would be angry with me, after all, I changed so many parts without your permission."
Seeing that his colleague had already carried over a large water tank specifically for RVs, Dodge thought for a moment and made a decision, "Buddy, this kind of vehicle looks like it needs a lot of repairs. Not to mention anything else, there are quite a few parts that need to be replaced right now."
Five spark plugs have been replaced, a brand new air filter has been installed, the RV ladder outside the cabin has been replaced with the best one, the brake fluid reservoir has just been changed, and so on.
All of these things add up to a considerable expense.
Since you're James' friend, how about this: I'll cover all the costs of refurbishing, repairing, and maintaining this RV, but I have only one request…”
"Requirements? What requirements?" Irving's eyes lit up instantly when he heard that Dodge was willing to cover all the expenses, and he asked curiously.
"After the renovation, I need to take some photos of the RV for promotional purposes. Also, buddy, if you're selling this RV, how about giving me priority consideration?" Dodge chuckled, a little embarrassed.
"This auto repair shop was opened by my father and has been there for decades. I have been working here for more than ten years. It is rare to come across such a classic RV."
Collecting these classic cars is my lifelong hobby. If you want to sell your car, just let me know whenever you want, and I'll buy it for $3!
What do you think?
"No problem!!" Irving replied without hesitation upon hearing the proposal.
What a joke! He bought this RV for just over $1000, and now the other party is offering to buy it for $3. Plus, Dodge is promising to repair it for free. Irving felt he had no reason to refuse.
Seeing Irving readily agree, Dodge breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately grinned.
The two reached out and clasped hands tightly, both with bright smiles on their faces, feeling like they had hit the jackpot.
After returning to the office and signing the repair contract, Dodge put on gloves and told Irving his ideas for repairing and maintaining the interior of the RV.
"I think the water and electricity lines in this RV still need to be re-wired and replaced. Although this 1986 Winneburg model is a classic, the water and electricity lines in the vehicle are somewhat outdated by today's standards."
"I'll replace your chair and mattress with a new one. The hot water system is also a bit outdated, so I'll replace that too. The two main options now are solar power and direct oil heating. Which one do you prefer?"
"Solar power," Owen replied after a moment's thought. "I don't drive this RV much anyway, just for transportation, so a solar-powered water heater would be more fuel-efficient."
"A wise choice," Dodge nodded.
He was about to continue construction when he suddenly seemed to remember something, paused, turned around, and asked, "By the way, buddy, do you know who the previous owner of this RV was?"
"When I help you register the vehicle another day, I think you'll still need to submit some documents. When you bought the RV, the white shop owner should have given you all the information about the vehicle, right?"
"Yes, they've all been given to me. Let me take a look."
Irving remembered the stack of documents the white boss had given him, so he immediately got into the car, took them out, and handed them to Dodge.
Dodge took off his gloves, glanced at the materials, then froze on the spot, exclaiming, "What?!?!"
"The previous owner of this RV was Lava Buckley?"
"Rava Barkley? Who is he?" Irving asked, puzzled.
"You don't know him?" Dodge asked in surprise. "He's the prop master for the classic American TV series Breaking Bad!"
I knew this 1986 Winneburg was a rare find on the market. Not to mention Miami, there are only a handful of these in such good condition throughout the entire United States.
It turns out this car was actually a prop vehicle used in the American TV series "Breaking Bad"!
Kyrie, my man, you really hit the jackpot this time!
If I repair it and then hand it over to a professional auction house, it could fetch at least tens of thousands of dollars!
"Over a hundred thousand US dollars?! Wow—" Irving exclaimed in surprise, "Are you kidding me?"
To be honest, Dodge had just agreed to repair and maintain his car for free, and even offered a $30,000 buyback when he sold it, which he already found outrageous enough.
Unexpectedly, just by glancing at the owner, this RV was transformed into a prop vehicle used in a classic American TV series.
Could it still fetch over ten thousand US dollars at auction?
This gave Irving a sudden sense of unreality.
"Hey, man, I'm really not kidding!" Dodge took a deep breath and then exclaimed excitedly:
"My dad happens to be a huge fan of the American TV series 'Breaking Bad'! He has autographed photos of all the main actors and directors, and he knows 'Breaking Bad' like the back of his hand. Oh my god, I have to tell him this good news right away." Dodge was incredibly excited and immediately took out his phone to make a call.
Faced with this situation, Irving shrugged.
He never imagined that he would just randomly pick a car graveyard and buy a campervan that looked decent.
And it turned out I actually found a treasure!
There's no way around it, this kind of luck is something that some unlucky people can only envy.
More than ten minutes later, an elderly black man with glasses and a full head of white hair drove up at high speed.
He slammed on the brakes, jumped out of the car with great enthusiasm, and hurriedly ran to the repair shop.
Seeing his father arrive, Dodge quickly stepped forward and explained, "Dad, this is the 1986 Winnie-Bag I told you about on the phone!"
My friend bought it from a car graveyard.
This is his information, which shows that the previous owner of the car was Lava Barkley!
"Can you check if this material is genuine?"
The elderly Black man took the materials, adjusted his glasses, and examined them carefully.
He then circled the car carefully several times.
During this time, he would get closer to look at the car and keep taking out his phone to check the data in the materials against the car's exterior.
A few minutes later, the old black man took a deep breath and slapped his thigh hard:
"Yes, it's true!"
"This 1986 Winneburger is actually a prop car used in the American TV series 'Breaking Bad'!!"
