JJ Lin Spotted In A New S$586K Mercedes-Benz Sports Car (And Got Judged For His Driving)
At least he didn’t get into trouble for parking illegally again.
Ooh, looks like someone has added another beauty to his ever-growing collection of fancy cars. On Tuesday evening (Sep 8), Apple Daily paps spotted JJ Lin driving to his cafe-slash-boutique in Taipei’s East District in a Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG sports car. The ride is said to boast a cool price tag of NT$12.5mil (S$586,000).
Although JJ was forced to halt his concert tour and is unable to take on overseas gigs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he's clearly still doing pretty well for himself. After all, the ‘Walking Money Printer’ earned a reported NT$300mil (S$14mil) last year and still receives an income from endorsements and music royalties, so he certainly has more than enough to fund the purchase of a sweet new ride or two.

After leaving his precious vehicle with the valet (guess he didn’t want to be accused of parking illegally outside the store again), JJ entered his shop and headed straight into the office, before coming back out again later to greet some very lucky customers. The 39-year-old towkay spent about four hours inside before heading home at around 10pm in his Mercedes.
Imagine going to get coffee and meeting the Mandopop star
That wasn’t the end of the reporters’, um, observation session, though. They continued to follow JJ and shot videos of his car on the road from behind, taking note of — and judging, we might add — all his little driving quirks and mistakes, such as the fact that he kept changing lanes and overtaking other drivers without using his turn signal several times. Naughty, naughty!

Besides his Merc, JJ has also been seen zipping around town in a NT$17.9mil (S$836,000) Ferrari GTC4Lusso, a Ferrari 458 Speciale, a McLaren 720S, and a NT$3.7mil (S$173,000) BMW M2. He also bought a NT$3.08mil (S$144,000) Volkswagen California Ocean camper van not too long ago.
In other news, JJ’s manager has revealed that the singer plans to release a new album later this year. When asked if he will be staying in Taiwan to perform at any upcoming New Year concerts, the manager said that while they have indeed received many offers, they will not be taking on any invitations to perform for the rest of the year as he has something “important” coming up in early 2021.
We can’t wait to find out more about that
