Didnt they lose a lawsuit in the US for mis representing the HP of one of thier cars?


As far as Im concerned a car is new if it has never been sold before, and has zero Ks on it (or less than 10).
However its year of manufactor if not the same as its year of sale should be disclosed to the buyer, and will clearly affect its value.
One of the reasons ppl buy a new car is to get the latest in technology and design (not aplicable to a daewoo of course) and a car that is even 2 years old is not going to have it. It will be in terms of safety and performance etc 2 years out of date.

The guy I work for is looking at buying some cars impounded on thier way into the US by customs.
He will get them cheap, and convert them to RHD then sell them localy as used cars.
However they will all be 2002 models, and all will have zero Ks on them.
So they will be 2nd hand new cars with delivery Ks only.
