Although the Porsche was a luxury car brand, an ordinary Cayenne was just over a million.
German's Volkwagen was considered a common car brand too, however, the Phaeton was a very rare and expensive model.
The top-spec Phaeton was worth more than two million dollars which were equivalent to the top-spec Audi A8, Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and BMW 7-Series.
Earlier, Max was so taken aback by the Porsche Cayenne's logo that he had instinctively tried to crash into a cheaper car. When he saw the Phaeton, he only recognized the Volkswagen logo and the car looked like a cheap Passat, so he ran into it swiftly.
Never did he expect that it had turned out to be the underrated Phaeton...
When he thought of the car’s price tag-2 freaking million dollars!-he was so depressed that he wished h e could die right there and then.
The parts-to-whole price ratio was an important element in a car that would reflect the auto maintenance cost in ordinary use. In other words, if the parts of a car were taken apart, the auto parts would be two or three times the price of the whole vehicle or even higher.
After the collision, the Phaeton's two taillights, trunk,
and anti-collision beams were severely damaged. It was an imported car too, so all its parts and accessories needed to be imported, and might cost hundreds of thousands to repair.
Besides, his Mercedes-Benz was horribly damaged too.
Mercedes-Benz was one of the brands with the highest parts-to-whole price ratio. If you dismantled the five hundred grand E-Class according to the parts listed by the workshop, it would come to a total of one million and more!
Just the two automatic headlights cost more than sixty grand!
In addition, the front engine cover, water tank, radiator, and anti-collision beams were all gone, plus the two exploded airbags. He estimated that the insured cost would be around two hundred grand.
