No experience with Ssangyong but my Dad had a Great Wall Steed which is also Chinese. He thought he couldn't go wrong with a 7 year warranty and at the price it seemed a bargain. However it was very poorly constructed, brake pads only lasted few thousand miles. He got fed up with small niggly problems and decided to sell it with 6 years of warranty left on it. Thats where he got stung, they depreciate massively second hand, nobody wants them. You pay more for Toyota/Nissan/Mitsy etc but you get what you pay for and when you trade them in you get a good price. He's now got an old Disco 2 which he's pleased as punch with.

It seems to me that if its coming out of china its either really good or really poor

no middle ground. Ive just taken delivery of some vented bags from china there better made than the ones I've been buying just need to be able to get 10000 order for them to hit the£1.99 they quoted

The basc schemes on the ford ranger on the xtl model with the basc scheme is 18% off the price plus if you can get the vat back makes for a very tidy saving but the have schemes available for hilux l200 ranger and dmax on pick ups

Had one as a work ute for a couple of years Jon. Not that heavy duty and the 4WD is really only a lightweight version but for what they are they're not a bad motor. I was supposedly upgraded to a Holden (Vauxhall) ute but it's got less grunt off the line and it's a heavy unwieldy thing. The ssangyong or ping pong as I called it, is quite a lively little diesel and if all you need is a four seat, cheap motor that you can throw a few saws, chooks, bricks or whatever in the back, it'll do the job fine. Oh, and it's a darn site more comfy ride than the Vauxhall in my opinion. Just don't expect much room in the back seats. Also, have a look at the Rexton. Sharp looking motor for the price.
