In China, they name cars after Native American strippers.

You coming south with a trailer?

Actually, I kinda hope you say no. My wife would kill me.

I also wonder about how legit the price is. Seems like the cage would be more than 500 alone.

Well, he may just want to move it, and let's face it, the market for such a car is a bit limited.

I would assume that's a legitimate price. How he got the car would be of interest, but there's no way it was registered here, so no title I'll bet.

What could possibly be better than a 20 year old German car? A Chinese copy of a 20 year old German car!

The random vw's of China never cease to amaze me. I remember being blown away by the sheer volume of VW's on the road in China my first time there. Can you imagine the VWVortex glory one could achieve with such a beast?

An illicit Chinese copy of a Spanish version of a German car. Chery made arrangements with the same suppliers who were producing the parts for the VW joint venture and started building clones of the SEAT Toledo. Later, after some legal proceedings they actually purchased the designs from VW. Common practice in China.

This begs the question. If one were to stance it, would it be more appropriate to put BBS es on it, or.... Rep BBS es?
