After the publicized KathNiel breakup, cheating accusations, and unfollowed era on Instagram, Daniel Padilla made it to the headlines again after netizens saw his sports car up for sale on the marketplace (you can check out Facebook). Yes, in case people would not believe, it’s his orange Chevrolet Corvette that has been making rounds on the marketplace for interested buyers for PHP 6.5 million. Here’s what social media had to say and why the sports car is being sold.
Why Is Daniel Padilla’s Sports Car, Chevrolet Corvette, Up For Sale?
Yes, the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray C7 is Daniel Padilla’s sports car. The luxury car was offered to a Filipino social media star, Jayson Luzadas, popularly known as Boss Toyo, for PHP 6 million. According to Boss Toyo’s YouTube vlog, a car dealer offered to sell the orange sports car, along with the papers that indicate it is indeed in Daniel Padilla’s ownership.
To clear things up, it wasn’t Padilla who added the sports car up for sale on the marketplace. The dealer shared that the Corvette Stingray was bought around 2016, but recently, Padilla decided to sell it. Boss Toyo asked why the actor wished to sell his car, to which the dealer did not have any concrete answers but said, “Siguro boss, sawa na, retired na… pero ’yan ang kauna-unahang nabili niya.” [Maybe he got tired of it and retired already… but that’s the first one he bought.]
The dealer also shared that the sports car was sold to Padilla’s friend, who asked them to find another buyer. Initially, the car was priced at PHP 6.5 million, but Boss Toyo tried to haggle for the last price of PHP 5.8 million. The dealer said that they cannot price it at lower than PHP 6 million because of its “market value.” As of this writing, the sports car is also up for sale under the F2A and Garage888ph Facebook pages.
Netizens Share Their Thoughts About The Sudden Sale
With Daniel Padilla’s name up on the news sites again, netizens can’t help but assume many things. There are those who speculated that Padilla was allegedly losing funds, which led him to sell his stuff slowly.

Bakit kaya ibininta ni Daniel Padilla ang kanyang ka una-unahang luxury sports car? naghihirap na kaya siya matapos sabihin ka makailan ni Cristy Fermin na naapektuhan ang career ni Daniel dahil sa hiwalayan nila Kathryn Bernardo?https://t.co/AFPJdWr2hH

There is still no statement from Daniel Padilla’s side, and we don’t think he would speak about this (at least, not anytime soon). So, the real reason for selling the orange sports car is still unknown. Nonetheless, if you wish to purchase the vehicle, you can probably get it until it’s still up for sale.
