RE: Knowing How To Purchase A Motor Vehicle At The Right Price
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
The Chinese cars make me feel a bit nervous, even if some of them are the result of partnerships with well-known western brands. Perhaps my perspective is somewhat shewed by watching too many "horror story" YouTube clips about the horrible quality... I can really relate to your "tin on wheels" remark.
It's good to "know the ropes" of car sales, though.
For the time being, we're content with our 1997 Nissan Maxima and our 2003 Chevy pickup truck.

I think most of us think that way and it is understandable to have concerns. If you consider that most of what China has today it has been stolen technology from other nations that gave them the basics to even start. It doesn't matter what they have done with it since but they needed the technology theft to get going. I have seen reports they have developed their own commercial planes now that can use Boeing parts and tells you who they have copied.
Fact, most of what they have was stolen.
What would also concern me is based on talking with an acquaintance who was working in Beijing for four years... "shortcuts" is such an ingrained thing in the culture that you might never know what was omitted from one of those stolen designs in the name of expediency and keeping the price low.
That is very true and why you have to check the specifications every 6 months because they cut back to make profit. This is how Chinese factories work and you have to spot check if they supply you with anything. We had items with less steel supplied that were actually very dangerous and had to be sent back.
