Came in a so-called "empty" container from China.

.Just a test run...

Next will be a few battalions of the PLA and tanks...(following an unexplained EMP event over North America)

Use your favorite search engine for ‘grey (or ‘gray’ market autos’. It’s a whole other world!

I doubt if it was rafted over from Cuba but you never know...

It would be worth a stop and to ask the dealer how it got to his lot.

You have a conical hat? You must have friends in the Party to rate such a luxury.

You have the right to see the import paperwork from U.S. Customs...the dealer better have it if he is offering it for sale. If you have any questions about the paperwork...verify...well I would verify with Customs anyway.

Wow. Thanks for that link.

That is the single worst crash performance I've ever witnessed. Just appalling.

GM had better not hope it's proven true that this car was built from purloined blueprints of theirs!

Does the car on the lot have license plates? My state does check autos and motorcycles for federal compliance before they’ll issue a plate. Wish they’d leave the bikes alone :(

No plates. Florida plates stay with the person, not the car when its traded in.....

I went to the NADA site they don’t have a listing for Chery as a manufacturer. That tells me that NONE of those cars are supposed to be here........

I checked the NADA used car site. They don’t have a listing for Chery as a manufacturer, ergo, this car is illegal.....

If it is foreign made and not part of mass import shipment you have a right to see proof of legal import paperwork. I sure wouldn’t buy it without it. Even if it was used when imported it must have documentation somewhere (in some places DMV will have original docs) if legally imported.

It’s hard to imagine how that could have looked worse than it was.

I checked the NADA and Kelley Blue Book sites. They have no listings for “Chery’ as a manufacturer. That means the car is not allowed in the US..............
