As Ash has said they are usually grossly over priced. Then there is the probablility that they have been badly driven, poorly maintained, and repaired using dodgy parts in dingy back street garages. Plus it'll probably stink of smoke. I wouldn’t touch a second hand car in the Chinese market. As Ash has said they are usually grossly over priced.
