When Orion washed up and arrived with Wynston at the car dealership in Philadelphia, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Since it was a weekend, there were a lot of people at the dealership.
After stopping their car nearby, Wynston gushed to Orion about the place.
"...... I bought my car here, and I was told that the owner of this car dealership is a rich Middle Eastern tycoon. There are also some budget-friendly modifications available after the sale."
Hearing Wynston know so much, Orion asked, "An acquaintance?"
Wynston touched his nose and smiled awkwardly, "How could that be?"
Orion: "......"
He thought he could get a discount or something, but now it seems he can't.
Wynston coughed lightly and digressed to continue, "What type of car do you like? I can give you recommendations. Cars here are still relatively cheap, supercars are not considered, and the average premium car is only like 60,000 or 70,000 USD. I'd recommend the Porsche ......"
Upon hearing this name, Orion immediately shook his head, "There's no way I'm going to spend all of my winnings on buying a car, I just need a mobility tool and that's enough. Is there a cheaper one?"
"Japanese and second-hand cars are cheap ...... three thousand US dollars are available, but to be honest I don't recommend you choose this kind, unless you want to waste a lot of time on repairing the car."
"I certainly wouldn't consider this kind ......"
Although he didn't want to spend too much money on his car, he wasn't as likely to disregard his own safety in order to save some money.
Considering that he was still a novice, his first choice was definitely a durable car, the sturdier the better.
After looking around the store, Orion's eyes finally landed on a big, rugged-looking car.
Following Orion's line of sight, Wynston froze slightly.
"Ford Explorer SUV, turbocharged inline-4 2.3T, mid-size crossover ...... You're not going to buy this, are you?"
Orion immediately asked, "How much?"
"Around thirty thousand dollars. But to be honest, I don't recommend this one, for a budget of $30,000 you could have gone for a Chevrolet Camaro, or even for another $20,000 you could have bought a Cayenne. And ...... "Halfway through his sentence, Wynston hesitated.
Orion was puzzled, "And?"
Wynston smiled shyly, "It's nothing really, it just doesn't match your style. ......"
Orion: "......"
"What do you mean it doesn't match your style?"
In the end, Orion insisted on choosing this rugged-looking off-roader.
The total cost was $31,171.
After paying the full amount, Orion took the keys from the dealer and excitedly went to the open space next to the store to drive the car.
He'd gotten his New Jersey licence some time ago, except for the fact that he still lacked some driving experience.
After driving for a while, Orion drove straight to the car park and dropped Wynston off.
