32: Chapter 32 Car Delivery

He walked around the car once, crouched down to check the exhaust and wheels, then stood up to carefully inspect the paintwork before opening the door and sliding into the driver's seat.

The Bordeaux red leather interior hit him instantly; the seats offered excellent support, and the crest on the headrest was finely embroidered.

The center console and door panels were inlaid with matte carbon fiber trim, which had a great texture.

The steering wheel was a combination of leather and carbon fiber, feeling solid and substantial in his hands, while the metal paddle shifters were cool and exquisite to the touch.

The quartz clock on the center console, the floating large screen, and the row of physical buttons were all laid out in a simple, restrained manner.

The instrument cluster featured the classic five-dial layout, with the tachometer in the center and a dial reading up to 340 km/h.

He pressed the start button.

Vroom—the roar of the V8 engine exploded instantly, deep and resonant, with a distinct vibration transmitted through the seat.

It wasn't the noise of a street-racer, but the rich, textured sound unique to top-tier performance cars.

He tapped the accelerator lightly, the revs climbed, the engine note rose with it, and then quickly settled back down.

Lin Weiwei leaned over the car door, her chest almost brushing against his arm.

"How is it, handsome? The engine note is explosive, right? This one is fully loaded; everything that could be selected was selected. There's only one like this in all of Jiangcheng! If you decide today, you can drive it away as soon as the paperwork is done."

Jiang Chen didn't respond, instead pushing the door open, walking around to the rear of the car, and inspecting it once more.

It had dual quad exhausts with black chrome tips, and the diffuser had an aggressive design.

When the rear spoiler rose, the entire rear of the car took on the stance of a race car.

He stood up straight and finally spoke: "How much is the on-the-road price for this one?"

Lin Weiwei's eyes lit up, and she immediately pulled out a calculator, her fingers tapping away rapidly.

"The guide price for the Turbo S is 2.358 million. The fully loaded stock car you see here includes options like 21-inch wheels, a Burmester sound system, carbon fiber interior trim, the Sport Chrono package, panoramic view, adaptive cruise control, ventilated, heated, and massaging seats, dynamic chassis control..."

"The total price for the options is about 380,000, bringing the base car price to 2.738 million."

She paused for a moment and continued calculating.

"Adding the purchase tax of 242,000, insurance of 35,000, and a registration fee of 2,000, the total on-the-road price for a full payment is approximately 3.017 million."

3.017 million. Jiang Chen did a quick mental calculation.

With total assets of just over 1.8 million, a full payment was far from enough.

His expression remained normal, and his tone was calm.

"A full payment isn't enough; let's go with installments. A 50% down payment, 24-month term, apply for the lowest interest rate, and include cash discounts, invisible car wrap, maintenance, and interior trim—get everything you can."

Lin Weiwei was stunned for a moment, then her smile became even brighter. Installments were great! For her, the commission on installment plans was higher.

"No problem, handsome! I'll set you up with Porsche's official financing at an annual rate of 2.88%, the lowest standard in the entire dealership! I'll calculate the plan right away!"

A few minutes later, the installment plan was ready. Total on-the-road price: 3.017 million. 50% down payment: 1.5085 million. Loan amount: 1.5085 million. Installment term: 24 months. Monthly payment: approximately 64,700 yuan. Total down payment: 1.5085 million (including vehicle price, purchase tax, insurance, and registration).

Jiang Chen did a quick mental calculation. A 1.5 million down payment would leave him with over 300,000 in his account; cash flow would be a bit tight, but sufficient. A monthly payment of 65,000 was completely manageable at his current rate of income.

He said calmly, "The plan is feasible! Apply for another 50,000 in cash discounts, and include a full-car invisible wrap, full-coverage leather floor mats, 3 basic maintenance services, car fragrance, new car odor removal, and an extra year of extended warranty, all for free without any price increases."

Lin Weiwei immediately went to talk to the manager. Five minutes later, she returned, her face full of excitement.

"Handsome! The manager approved it! A 50,000 cash discount, making the final down payment 1.4585 million! All gifts are included! We'll handle the paperwork, car pickup, and registration all in one go today!"

Jiang Chen nodded slightly: "Sign the contract."

The whole process was crisp and efficient, with every step carefully considered.

Forty minutes later, the contract was approved. Jiang Chen took out his bank card and swiped it; the success tone sounded—1,458,500 yuan. After the payment, he had about 350,000 left in his account; although the cash flow was tight, he felt at ease.

Next was the vehicle inspection stage. Jiang Chen checked everything extremely meticulously. After confirming there were no issues, he nodded, "The car is fine, proceed with the subsequent paperwork."

Lin Weiwei immediately arranged for a registration specialist to handle everything. Submitting documents, vehicle inspection, selecting the license plate number, manufacturing the plates, and printing the vehicle license—the process was seamless, and forty minutes later, the plates were installed.

"Sir, the delivery ceremony is ready. Please drive the car to the front of the showroom," Lin Weiwei said with a smile.

Jiang Chen nodded, started the car, slowly drove out of the underground garage, and parked in front of the grand glass curtain wall of the Porsche Center.

A delivery area had already been set up at the main entrance of the showroom. There was a huge Porsche logo backdrop, with flowers and a champagne tower on both sides, and a red carpet rolled out from the door all the way to the car. Several sales consultants and staff were already waiting nearby with professional smiles on their faces.

Lin Weiwei trotted over, holding an exquisite gift box. "Sir, this is our delivery gift—a custom Porsche gift box containing a keychain, a thermos, an umbrella, and a hat, all genuine Porsche accessories." Jiang Chen took it and thanked her.

"Come, come, let's take a photo for memory!" Lin Weiwei called out to her colleague nearby, "Help us take a few photos with this handsome guy!"

A male sales consultant took the phone, and Lin Weiwei immediately stood next to Jiang Chen, leaning slightly towards him with a bright smile.

"Handsome, smile a bit~ It's your first Turbo S in life, how meaningful!"

Jiang Chen's lips curled slightly—not quite a smile, but at least it wasn't his usual cold expression.

Click, click—the male sales consultant took several photos in a row: standing at the front of the car, standing by the car door, Lin Weiwei handing over the keys, and Jiang Chen sitting in the driver's seat...

After taking them, Lin Weiwei leaned over to look, "Wow, this one looks cool! This one too! Handsome, if you post these on Moments, it'll definitely blow up!"

She handed over her phone: "Let's add each other on WeChat, I'll send you the original photos. Really, just to send the photos, no other meaning~"

Jiang Chen glanced at her, didn't refuse this time, and took out his phone to scan the code. Lin Weiwei quickly sent the photos and added, "Feel free to contact me anytime for maintenance or whatever. I won't bother you, don't worry."

Jiang Chen nodded and scrolled through the photos on his phone. The showroom background, the flowers and champagne, the volcanic grey Turbo S, himself standing by the car door... It was definitely worth posting on Moments.

He selected four photos—a close-up of the front of the car, a full-body shot standing by the door, one of the interior steering wheel, and a panoramic view of the delivery area. The caption was simple: [The weather is nice, picked up a car on the way.] Location: Porsche Center Jiangcheng. He clicked send.

As soon as he put his phone back in his pocket, it vibrated. He took it out to check. Wang Hao: ? ? ? ? ? ? Wang Hao: I'm sick of saying the word 'envy'. Come back quickly and let me sit in it; I want to be the first man to sit in your Porsche!

Immediately after, a few more messages followed. The high school roommate group chat blew up. Li Lei: Holy crap, Boss Jiang is awesome! ! Zhang Fan: This car must cost 3 million, right? ? Jiang Chen, what did you do! ! Zhao Yu: @Jiang Chen Daddy, take me with you! ! !

Jiang Chen smiled, didn't reply, set his phone to silent, and put it back in his pocket.

Lin Weiwei was still standing nearby, her eyes filled with a complex mix of disappointment and envy: "Handsome, drive carefully on the road. If you have any questions, feel free to contact the dealership anytime."

Jiang Chen nodded, opened the car door, slid into the driver's seat, and fastened his seatbelt.

The Bordeaux red leather seats offered excellent support, perfectly conforming to the body's curves, while the embroidered crest on the headrest looked even more prestigious.

He pressed the start button. Vroom—the explosive, deep, and resonant roar of the engine erupted.

The exclusive roar of the 630-horsepower V8 twin-turbo engine wasn't obnoxious, but it carried immense power. The subtle vibrations transmitted through the car body, with every roar showcasing ultimate performance and high-end quality.

Jiang Chen gripped the steering wheel; it felt solid and precise. He released the electronic parking brake, shifted into Drive, and switched to Sport mode.

With a light tap of his right foot on the accelerator, the car moved out of the parking space smoothly and steadily.

The air suspension adaptively adjusted its firmness, and the dynamic chassis, paired with rear-wheel steering, made turning exceptionally agile. The steering was precise and responsive, and the car's posture remained elegant and stable.

He slowly drove out of the Porsche Center and merged onto the main road of Jiangcheng, the view suddenly opening up. The spring breeze poured in through the gap in the window, fresh and comfortable.

Jiang Chen gently pressed the accelerator deeper, and the sensation of being pushed back into his seat hit him instantly. 630 horsepower was available whenever he stepped on it, with linear and abundant power delivery. The car's speed climbed steadily, and the body remained as stable as Mount Tai, without the slightest drift.

The Turbo S handled with precision and finesse; the chassis quality was top-tier, perfectly balancing supercar performance with luxury comfort.

The sleek car body wove through traffic, the volcanic grey paint glowing with a high-end texture in the sunlight, turning heads everywhere.

There were forty minutes left until class in the afternoon. The Porsche Panamera Turbo S smoothly merged onto the main road and sped off in the direction of Jiangcheng University.
