November 1, 200718 yr http://www.chinacartimes.com/wp-content/f1.jpg http://www.chinacartimes.com/wp-content/f1_rear.jpg only 3000.00 US dollars Brand NEW 2008 with warranty Ya General Motors you heard right............. THREE THOUSAND DOLLARS +TTL DRIVE OUT why dont you union guys go on strike for more money now lol I here it will be powered by 4 squirrel cages BYD F1, worlds cheapest car ever BYD really are going to mass produce the worlds cheapest automobile and bring cheap motoring to the masses in China, previously the BYD F1 price tag was 30,000rmb but now it seems that figure has been changed down to a mere 23,000rmb. Previously, the record was held by the Binzhou automotive group, but seeing as they are not mass produced, we can forget about them. The cheapest 800cc QQ3 is 27,000rmb, Ben Ben, Hafei Sai Bao, Suzuki WagonR’s, Little Nobels etc are all 30,000rmb and up. While we’re not entirely sure what the BYD will be running under the hood, or what it will be made of, we’re quite excited (or worried) to see that Chinese manufacturers are pushing the boundries on the car pricing, the BYD is a smidgen over 3000USD. China Car Times previously got up close and personal with little Nobel and noted the interior quality, was not the greatest. Generally, the BYD range of cars are quite well made, but at 3,000USD what is this going to be like? http://www.chinacartimes.com/2007/10/20/byd-f1-worlds-cheapest-car-ever/ wow this is gonna effect the car market in a few years big time
November 1, 200718 yr they are just that though.. cheap and cheerful.. the build quality will be poor (poorer than GM usually) and probably not gonna score too highly on that crash test
November 1, 200718 yr Author they are just that though.. cheap and cheerful.. the build quality will be poor (poorer than GM usually) and probably not gonna score too highly on that crash test hmm ....well at this price I would have to crash and total out 10 of them to equal the price of mine now lol thats pretty good odds
November 1, 200718 yr even then, still a car that cheap would be really helpful in big city situations.
November 1, 200718 yr They have nothing cheaper than 9400 in the US, wish they try to make something cheap an economical!
November 2, 200718 yr So its pretty much like buying a 3000 dollar bicycle with a little more protection LOL cant see this thing being much faster than walking and chock full of plastics.
November 2, 200718 yr China is taking advantage of loophole in the NAFTA agreement. The parts are shipped to Mexico, then assembled there. This allows them to fore go federal tariffs. It's a shrewd idea but I have no doubt the government will close up that loophole at the behest of the big 3.
