No old cars to sell so looking for a new car By deciding to walk in and ask to be a dealer to sell a new car. but no car showroom There is only a dog shed that rises in a zinc that rents him. But there is one for sale, there is a table with an air-conditioned room. Starting from getting a Hino brand car to sell first. Sales are very good. Then started selling Toyota cars.

Later, a friend brought a Benz and sold it to him. Tell me to help you buy it because I can’t continue to pay installment. He thought that he would drive it for a while and then sell it. When I drove it, I really liked it. It’s very different from Japanese cars. I’ve never driven a Benz before. then go to workmotor show Found a Benz sales manager recommending the car to try and sell. So withdraw all the money in the bank to buy a Benz to sell in Kan city. Parked for 3 months, still can’t sell.
