Looks like just another Chinese mob looking to break into developed economies like Great Wall, Cherry etc etc.

Apparently the head dudes from Great Wall started their careers with ZX (the makers of this thing) then split to make their own cheap crappy cars.
The Perth dealer in that add has the sole distribution rights for Australia.

And their are more like $17K for a new 2wd and $25K for a new 4wd.

what do you expect for 10k?

I would definitely NOT recommend purchasing one of these. If there were no quality issues it would be a passable car for work or private use for the price however I bought one of the first 10 in the state, have done 3900km and taken it back 5 times to get things fixed. If you do purchase one, check:
– Model Year on the build plate, mine is MY12 passed of as MY13
– Payload in the owners manual, mines listed as 625kg instead of 1t
– All electrics work, I had multiple fuse problems driving off the lot
– Brake pedal returns to normal position after braking and downshifting at the same time
– If you have an iPhone bring a charger and check it charges
– Listen for clunks from front end when making sharp turns out of driveways
– Check interior fittings like glovebox closing easily and sun visors not hanging down away from the roof

Overall the service department is valiantly trying to fix a dud every time I bring it back but I’ve been left wishing I’d paid a bit more for a quality brand.
