In an unexpected turn of events, Filipino actor and heartthrob Daniel Padilla has put up his first-ever sports car, an eye-catching orange Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7, for sale. The luxury vehicle, purchased by Padilla in 2016, recently surfaced on Facebook Marketplace, creating a buzz among automotive enthusiasts and fans alike.
The intriguing story unfolded in a YouTube vlog by social media personality Jayson Luzadas, popularly known as Boss Toyo. In the vlog, Luzadas recounted a meeting with a car dealer and their companion, who approached him with an enticing offer – to purchase Daniel Padilla’s cherished sports car for a staggering P6 million.
As the video progressed, Luzadas delved into the details surrounding Padilla’s decision to part ways with his beloved Corvette. According to the car dealer, Padilla, possibly feeling a sense of fatigue or retirement from the sports car lifestyle, decided to let go of his first and foremost automotive acquisition.
The orange Corvette Stingray C7, a symbol of Padilla’s success and taste for luxury, was originally tagged with a price of P6.5 million. However, Luzadas, known for his negotiating skills, attempted to strike a deal, proposing a revised offer of P5.5 million. The ensuing haggling session between Luzadas and the dealer saw a final offer settled at P5.8 million.
Despite Luzadas’ efforts, the dealer remained firm, insisting that the sports car could not be sold for less than P6 million due to its perceived “market value.” Interestingly, the dealer later disclosed that Padilla had initially sold the vehicle to a friend, who subsequently tasked them with finding a new buyer.
The revelation added an intriguing layer to the narrative, leaving fans and onlookers wondering about the chain of events that led to the sports car’s reappearance in the market. Padilla’s decision to sell a vehicle that held sentimental value as his first-ever sports car left many speculating on the reasons behind the move.
While the sale of celebrity-owned items is not an uncommon occurrence, Padilla’s orange Corvette Stingray C7 has become a focal point of interest, transcending the boundaries between celebrity culture and the automotive world. Enthusiasts and fans eagerly await further developments, hoping to unravel the mystery behind Daniel Padilla’s decision to part with his iconic sports car.
