yes if they are like the old ones look out for one broken down near you

When the firm I worked for opened an assembly plant in China they were meticulous in checking the components we sent them - unless parts were spot on mid-limit of drawing dimensions they would ask why and expect the next delivery to be better.

I hear that in the arms market, Chinese made AK47's command a higher price than any others (except Russian originals) and Norinco (Chinese arms maker) could (a few years ago) sell their products in the USA, where customers are keen on quality.

Finally spotted one today, 66 plate being used as a courier van

Has the DFSK vans UK importer gone bust?

The trouble is, like the DFSK, the list prices are still too high, especially for the age of the design. Just out of curiosity i had a look on autotrader at the V80 swb. Cheapest was £12995 (delivery mileage). If i go on the new van finder on autotrader, i can find a new swb citroen relay, fiat ducato, peugeot boxer, nissan nv400, renault master or vauxhall movano for less than a grand more. Granted the LDV has a more powerful engine (136bhp), but still, i cant see many punters buying them unless they base their decision solely on the list price and dont actually have a proper look to see what else is available. It seems the LDV's are all pretty high spec, which seems to be a strange route to take. They should make a basic, bog standard version with the 95bhp engine, and price them under £10k. Then they would fly out the door, esp with the 5 year warranty being offered.
