To summarize in 2018 a Mr Rigby bought a new LDV T60 ute and the
purchase price included "rust protection" which was done pre delivery.
Couple of years later it had lots of rust and the independent quote to
repair it was around $49,000.00, new ute cost around $38,000.
The court concluded that "poor quality" materials were used in the
vehicles construction, the court then ordered that Mr Rigby should
return the ute to the seller and that the seller (dealer) has to refund
the full purchase price.
Something to think about if anyone is thinking about buying a Chinese
vehicle.

Great Wall ute. The first thing that I noticed was the rust streaks in
the engine bay.

On most Great Wall utes, the GREAT WALL has fallen off the tailgate, so you don't have to be embarrassed driving one.

And remember the Foton Tunland? The first distributor of them dropped them, because they were so bad and couldn't defend them any longer.

already had issues with the electronics that they cant/wont repair.
must admit, to look at them as a buyer point of view, you'd think about
buying one, until you read and hear other's travails. Me? It's chinese,
so no way. Great Wall have been around long enough to display what you
get when you buy chinese. Phtou...
