Books – Mahmoud Abdel Rahman:

What used to be a prominent scene in a comedy film that began with “Arabia, you’re full of dazzles” became a reality a few days ago, with an advertisement on one of the “Facebook” groups for the sale of used cars in Menoufia, after the publication of Omar Mohamed, “Post” showing He is selling a 1989 Fiat 128, at a price of 115 thousand pounds, justifying the high value, which exceeded its current value by more than 300%, in the unique conditions , and being the second owner since its production.

Specifications and conditions of the car, which date back more than three decades ago, he specified saying: “Arabia 128 is new, there is no sister in Egypt, model 89, it has been raised since the year it was scrapped, and this ‘year is still on the ground and its walking distance is only 400 km, a license ”. Year, I am the second king of its original owner.

He set the selling price, which he defined as definitive and very expensive, at 115,000 pounds, justifying it; The only Arab case; “This is an Arab country that has no kharboush, and it’s still in the factory bag, I want someone who is stingy and understanding,” and I have attached a series of photos of the car for sale to the publication.

The used car is a Fiat Model 89, and its price on the second-hand market does not reach 30 thousand pounds, so what is the history of the car, whose price reaches 120 thousand pounds? Where has it been for the past 3 decades? Is this value worth the money now?

At the end of last August, Omar’s father, Muhammad Jamal, went to a car showroom in Gharbia governorate to buy a “Ma-Trix” car, and after trying it he was not keen to buy it. “He said that this will not benefit you, I want to specify a seducer”, but he insisted on seeing her, “I looked at it and saw its possibilities, I liked it, it came to my mind and bought it”, after negotiations with the owner of the exhibition, which ended with the reduction of the price to 110 thousand pounds.

Weeks later, Muhammad Jamal regretted buying it: “I felt that its price was expensive and that I was in a hurry”, although Arabic is really a masterpiece as he describes it, saying: “Arabic is very precious and I love things old, “but the problem is that it is enough to use it for months to reduce its price and economic value. For a percentage that can exceed 75%, he says, “I went with advice, and I found her, and she would be slandered by me, and if I knocked or scratched her, she would lose her value, that’s why. I have put it back on sale. “

Muhammad Jamal asked the owner of the exhibition to show it again for sale in the exhibition: “I put it on display because it is a better place to sell, and I let my son Omar write a post on the groups and on the auto sales pages” , but what happened was shocking to the father and his son Omar.

Where hundreds of people interacted with derision and derision with the first post published in the virtual group for the sale of used cars, which has more than 42,000 followers, Muhammad says: “I found an insult and a more generous solution, and it created me a state of distress “, where Mustafa Gouda sarcastically commented:” You are forbidden to have 115. I am with me 128, complete super action with a fingerprint and a student of 160, you are your machine to fix 145 with satisfaction of God.

As Issam Othman wondered, “Oh man, words that make sense, write .. 128 is originally worn on any road or trip and cannot be tolerated.” Anyone who will answer April 2008 the old model is better than the Chinese for 128. Wouldn’t you? “

Muhammad al-Jundi wrote: “Who are you, what is bothering me, is the year 89, he was followed by Omar Effendi for 450 pounds”, and another sarcastic said: “You want to enter heaven because of the people you insult, by God, you mean “, Omar Muhammad replied:” We condemn you. ” Your opinion is good. “While a third laughed:” This is Arab, ladies and gentlemen, full of charm. “

While, Karim Muhammad, questioned the age of the Arab, saying: I am an amateur of cars, and if what you say is true, first they let the rubber and the carburetor be roasted, as well as the luggage and the fabric of the chairs . 33 years old and we still work, we are so stupid, Omar Muhammad replied: “The luggage is new, the rubber is 89 production, and it is still new, and I walked 120, and it is as good as the elephant”.

In another way, Amr El-Gamsy laughed: “You forgot the decimal point, you mean 11.5 thousand right.” Muhammad Abu Adam says: “Oh, uncle, this is the Peugeot 405 Model 79, and they forgot it in his factory in France, by God, you won’t do this number, not 28, I tell you about one thing, you are the first. With it, because you are the only one on the face of the globe who knows its value Unfortunately, we don’t know how to understand cars in this way, nor their condition, of course.

Yahya Al-Masry, owner of the car showroom, from which Mohamed Gamal bought the Fiat 128, confirms that the car belongs to Maadi Traffic, and is actually a Model 89, and owned by a woman named Nahed Gamal, who resides outside Egypt, due to the nature of her work in one of the European countries, but only used it a few days ago and was not licensed except last year, saying, “My grocery store has tried to buy this Arabic for five years and I don’t know “, because the owner of the Arabic language does not exist in Egypt, and when he made a power of attorney for one of his relatives, he was able with this power of attorney to license the ‘Arabic, and I bought it from him 3 years ago Months.

This type of car, as seen by Yahya Al-Masry, stands out, has its customers and has a good income: “I knew this from people who used a car like this that was in its condition and at the same time old. After showing him the Arabic in the exhibition, Hajj Muhammad Jamal came and bought it.

Engineer Khaled Saad, secretary general of the Automobile Manufacturers Association, believes that the price of the Arab 128, according to the published specifications about it and according to its license and its circulating documents, is considered a distinctive and rare Arab, selling it the price offered is suitable, and not exaggerated, especially in the current period that is witnessing a significant increase in the price of cars.

He explained that this type of classic car repeats itself from time to time: in the last period a person offered an old Mercedes, which was “700 kilos of cattle and his grocer was parked for 10 years and the owner was a traveler. “that she bought from him.
