The “heavenly” price that a used car business unit sets for the 2012 Honda SH is obtained because the car has a number plate of the 9th quarter and a very beautiful engine number.

Up to the present time, Honda SH has had nearly 20 years of appearance in Vietnam. This car line was imported to our country from Italy starting around 2001 with the 3rd generation. However, until now, the 5th generation produced from 2009-2012 has been extremely popular with customers by Strong, sporty design. Often referred to by players as SH “Italian cheese”, this is also the first generation of SH assembled in Vietnam, besides the privately imported version from Europe.

Because of this, until now, the 4th generation SHs are still very valuable in the used car market. Depending on the origin of Honda Vietnam or Italy, condition and engine capacity, a 4th generation SH is still priced from more than 100 million VND to several hundred million VND. Almost brand-new, unused “carts” can be even more expensive.

But no matter what, a 5th generation SH being “screamed” up to 3.9 billion is still considered a strange thing. However that is what is happening with the car in this article. Currently being sold by a shop specializing in selling high-end motorbikes and cars in Ho Chi Minh City, the 2012 SH has a “heavenly” price not only because it is in quite new condition when it is original and just rolled. The wheel is nearly 9,000km, but also because of the beautiful frame and engine number.

Starting from the number plate, the SH is registered in Ho Chi Minh City and has the last 5 numbers all 9. Cars with 5 overlapping numbers are often called “five quarters” by players and inherently have a high price. But the number plate of the fifth quarter is even more valuable, as 9 is pronounced in Chinese as “nine” and is the largest 1-digit natural number. Therefore, this is a number that not only symbolizes longevity and eternity, but also the peak.

In addition to the beautiful number plate, the SH is also “rare and hard to find” because the engine number also includes 3 consecutive 1s and 4 3s. The above reasons have made the car shop confidently set the price for it up to nearly 4 billion VND – as expensive as the high-end car models on the current market. However, with the “heavenly” price, the car is also extremely picky when it comes to buyers when it is only for customers with financial abundance and the pleasure of collecting beautiful number plates.
