Savings of $5000 from the original price for the Hybrid variants, $2000 lower than its offering back in June from $52990.
Non-hybrid models also lowered by $1000 from original price.
GWM offers page also have a finance offer with its previous price, though might not be updated correctly yet.
curious to see if there’s a tank going for 60% off currently on second hand market? Would be highly interested.
There is one listed for 43k https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/2023-gwm-tank-300-u…
Say you would buy this car negotiate to 39-40k depends on how long it been sitting in the lot how good your skills are.
For the owner trade in would have to have sold it to the dealer for 30-35k.. say he purchased brand new 55k thats a big drop back in 2023
Now say u buy this deal today… drive it for 1 year decided to sell in 2026. Prices for the Tank brand new drops to 45k you are looking to then have to trade it at at around 28-31k
What is your point, thats goes with any car brands. Try to sell your Toyota Camery/Tesla back to the dearler after 10k of driving.
For the owner trade in would have to have sold it to the dealer for 30-35k.. say he purchased brand new 55k thats a big drop back in 2023
have you ever sold a car within a year or two of ownership? That's par for the course with any vehicle.
Go and look at Audi or BMW depreciation and you'd be cheering if it was only that much.
@coffeeinmyveins: Well, yes. The kind of person inclined to get a new one of those isn’t going to be interested in a late second hand one. It isn’t the right look.
So is pretty much any euro car like an Audi or BMW. Those things depreciate like nothing else.
got a co worker bought a Haval wants to get out of it due to its crappy engine. looking to sell it for a 60% loss no dealer wants to touch it. Even tried selling it to the online dealers
which haval H6 or jolion ??
Let ur co worker contact me if it’s a recent haval h6 or jolion. Let’s say a 60% off their selling rrp over standard haval h6 ($30990) would be $12396, doesn’t matter the kms, I would be buying without hesitation.
@Cheryhello: Sorry i mean he doesnt want to take a 60% loss on it. I should have said he wants to sell like 33k. i think he was getting trade in or sell to dealer for about 18-21k.
@George Washington: Fair enough, still a good value for second hand market, they are still strong in price now as I was considering buying one for mum.
due to its crappy engine
Do people just not research things anymore?
To be honest pretty much all economy cars are crappy 3-4cylinder engines now. What was he expecting for the price point?
looking to sell it for a 60% loss no dealer wants to touch it.
Can't say I'm surprised. At that much loss you'd be better off just keeping the car and using it. Expensive lesson.
Would you buy cybertruck?? chassis snap off from tow hitch. https://youtu.be/PK_EJ3DyiiA?si=fpEcuCJEgd7Q6v7X
Yeah made in American baby….
Pretty capable vehicle for the price, but you're better off getting one second-hand because the depreciation will be huge.
Most cars do that, except Toyota.
Not to the same degree as Chinese cars. The depreciation is insane compared to euro/Japanese cars. There are a lot of people who will just not support Chinese manufacturers so the demand is not as big.

I wonder why
Just don't watch porn while driving or yer gonna end up being banned from driving it - https://x.com/ray4tesla/status/1829415386183512134
oi yeah nah yeah nah, go smoke a winny pink mate
The ones that are vehemently against something are usually the ones who are balls deep in it.
Keep telling yourself that bud.
Now, delete your porn collection, log off, and start hitting the gym.
Seems like he doesn't want a Chinese car but an American Beauty!
AEB for pedestrians carrying bags?
Thanks China for making those affordable cars.The German and Japanese cars are crazy expensive in Australia.
Atleast japanese brands have reliability going for them.
affordable cars
You need to learn what TCO is…
I agree with the others—resale value is terrible. You might save a little bit initially, but in the end, it evens out. Plus, you’re driving an inferior vehicle. I wouldn’t support the Chinese car market. If you can avoid it, just buy a Ranger.
US only make rubbish cars.Look what They did to Holden.
Didn’t the Holden go downhill when they started making it in China?
Holden went downhill because they made uninspiring cars, chose not to innovate and begged for taxpayer handout throughout the years. I'm happy that American leech was gone for good
@YRT: Yeap, now we have such inspiring cars as whatever "SUV" is flavor of the month, and oversized utes that don't carry anything more than a small toolbox.
that makes no sense, US do make rubbish cars but what does that have to do with this car or chinese cars being unreliable ?
but what does that have to do with this car or chinese cars being unreliable ?
It's called whataboutism and is common deflection tactic by people who suffer from butt hurt…
The amount of anti Chinese sentiment is disappointing and also hypocritical. I'm guessing 80% of the things in and around most Australian homes are made in China. But for some reason when it comes to cars there's big opposition and righteousness.
to some extent yes but on the other hand we cant say the track record is that brilliant, a decade or two ago people would say the same about smaller japanese brands or a little later korean brands, meh given the number of chinese brand cars i notice on the road that sentiment isnt widespread
Who actually cares? Seriously, just get over it. The same thing happened in Australia when Japanese cars started taking off half a century ago, everyone will have an opinion but the market will dictate demand and the success of the brand. Unless you're a paid CCP bot there's no reason to be getting all personally butthurt about criticism of Chinese car brands, they don't actually offer anything innovative or enticing in their product line-up apart from the significant price differential to mainstream brands.
Thats australia for you. China is now the 3rd highest source of vehicles in Australia. We are becoming a poorer country and people will buy what they can afford. Chinese make affordable cars.
My Chinese made coffee table might fall apart if it has poor quality control from manufacturing, but I rarely drive it down the freeway at 100+ Km/h.. But in seriousness, quality becomes way more critical when my life (or other road user's safety) is in something's hands. A lot of stuff that I've bought that is Chinese made has been faulty from day one, or died much sooner that expected, or doesn't live up to the photos and specs. The reluctance that is being seen imo is an after affect of years of cheap substandard manufacturing and quality control. If China was pumping out quality in everything else, including these, I think adoption would be much higher. I'd have the same concerns for cars from other regions where quality in other products isn't known to be great either. It's not a China thing. The lack of long term track record and resale value, parts, etc compared to the known brands is a concert for me though and so that along with quality makes me hesitant to buy one.
Well, if you think about it, many items it can be hard to avoid having Chinese branded ones - but with a car it is something it is very easy to avoid.
In the current political climate it does seems a bit silly to optionally buy goods from a country Australia is spending billions to prepare for war with.
Ranger lol
Yeah.. Ranger….^o^ hahahah
I was in agreement until you said Ranger…
Yeah buy made in america like this cybertruck, chassis snap off from tow hitch. https://youtu.be/PK_EJ3DyiiA?si=fpEcuCJEgd7Q6v7X
Sorry… did you just say Ranger?
Nothing screams roid-raging tradie louder than a Ranger.
…and I say this as a euro driving (profanity).
It's not roids making them angry, it's the fact that their 3rd gearbox is crapping out on them and they've lost too much in depreciation to sell the POS and buy the hilux or DMax they should have just waited for in the first place.
One chinese owner watched porn while driving in China and his car has been remotely locked by manufacture.
This give me an big alert, not about porn, nowadays the smart cars share data with the manufacture and the manufacture could remotely turn on the system and read from the system, so all my data including where did I go, what did I say, or my family talks, all goes to the car manufacture if they want to do, this is a big NO NO for me, same worries happens for BYD.
I don't worry about my personal data goes to U.S, goes to Japan, goes to European car manufactures, which still gives me a big range of choice for cars.
What benifit would the manufacture gain by getting your data? The cost of getting it, saving it and analysing it cost more then the value within the data itself. Unless you are a billionaire or top tier technology owner. You prob not if you still judging the 50k car here and there.
Sure I am just an average man, but I still care about my privacy, what is the benefit I gain by buying these cars compare to cars from other country while risking my privacy? Cheap price? No, Great quality? No, Better safety? No, Proof of reliability? No.
And what the benefit does the manufacture gain by locking the car because the car owner watched porn video? Why doe the manufacture spent money and effort to care about who is watching the porn video?
people used to say that about GPS but here we are using the GPS to go get milk
@juki: Different, GPS is passive, and the cars before the recent years smart cars do not send data back to manufacture at all.
Nowadays the new cars especially electric cars, the entire system sending data back to manufacture including your GPS data, and also the manufacture could remotely active and enter your system.
One famous blogger guy in china do a lot of car tests, once he tested BYD 'high speed vs range' on highway and published some data not in favour of BYD, then BYD reported him to police because BYD read his running data and claimed he has over speed 4 times on the highway.
After I read this, BYD is no longer on my shopping list.
@petiteway: Right… and BYD publicly announced that they reported him to the police…
I bet there is a lot of he said/she said you read online and totally believe because "trusted source".
@goodwillN1: I read the forum, I saw the picture, I saw the police response statement, so I know the event end to end.
I am not trying to convince people to turst it or not, I am just sharing what I know.
And BYD did not publicly announce this event, BYD also does not announce their car rust problem, also does not announce there were already more than 10 BYD 4S shop burn down to the ground due to the display car burnt by itself.
But does not mean these events have not happened, just not so many on English media or forums. That's it.
You'd be surprised how many apps are tracking your every move then
you can install duck duck go browser and enable app protection just to see all the requests made by random apps.
Do you have a link for this? I'm just wondering how he was watching porn in the card as I don't think they have smart phone mirroring built in. Interesting.
No one gives a **** of what you watch on your car mate, gotta work on your story a bit.
You should definitely be worried about where your data goes. Don’t trust China, but don’t complacent with the West either.
In the US, some car companies have been caught selling customers data to insurance companies. As a direct result of their driving style and habits, some driver’s insurance has risen. This is definitely going to be an issue as more cars become connected and share data.
I wonder if they've fixed the rear wheels leaving the ground under heavy braking issue?
If they haven't then don't consider this safety shitbox.
Is the bargain in the room with us?
thought id never see the day of finding another SUV 7 seater that can towe at least 3T.
i was expecting to be stuck with the trialblazer until it dies. this give me hope to upgrade in the not too distant future.
umm, there are loads now…? Everest, Mux, Rexton etc…
it's not a 7 seater???
tank 300 isnt BUT i was looking at the tank 500.
I am waiting for the 6000 SUX version.
Sorry, every time I hear the name Tank 300 I think of this.
I'd buy that for a dollar!
How anyone would get inside a moving one of these blows my mind. It's flat out scary they're on the roads.
It has a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
How does a car who’s rear wheels fly off the ground when braking get 5 stars?
@cnut: Because when it does a forward flip, the high quality seat belts, crumple zones, and air bags will keep you more or less alive.
It has a 5 star ANCAP safety rating.
lol. Means basically nothing https://www.carexpert.com.au/opinion/ancap-has-lost-relevanc…
How does a car who’s rear wheels fly off the ground when braking get 5 stars?
Because ANCAP is a joke.
The ANCAP system may technically have five stars, but it has become a basic yes or no system where a vehicle that receives five stars is a yes… while anything below that is basically a fail, and is lambasted for its safety credentials. There’s also no actual testing of safety systems on public roads. A lot of the active safety systems fitted to five-star cars are appallingly bad to use in real life, but are required for maximum ratings.
@PainToad: that maybe the case, but it's the closest thing to objective testing we'll get on safety. what alternative do you propose, take your word for it?
Because ANCAP is a joke.
Came to say the same thing. Automobile 'Safety' is now less about building a robust machine, and more about inserting annoying alarms and over-riding control devices into the vehicle. AEB is one of those systems that viewed as a 'safety' device, but in reality is outright dangerous. My car has AEB and it emergency brakes on random occasions for no reason. How is that safe is beyond me…
Chinese cars again here?
Most Australian can only afford Chinese cars.
Some like the BYD are very capable. What's your problem?
As opposed to Australian cars? Or Danish cars? Or Yugoslavian cars?
What Aussie car? Unless you want to compare with vintage cars?
My only gripe and worry about these, and every other SUV on the market with a similar set up - the reason old cars last long is because the engines were adequate for the weight they are pulling.. A 2L turbo would be using every single horse power to get that body moving, an engine that highly strung working that hard its whole life is doomed to have a short lifetime. Just my humble opinion, the hybrid might be a bit better with the low end torque to get the body moving so that would be my pick, the others I don't have much confidence in.
Your not wrong there.
Also in the past, engines were made from cast iron/steel blocks, thicker piston walls.
These days are they are made from an aluminium alloy. Good luck with longevity.
Plus they are built cheaper with plastic parts and more reliant on software that can glitch out with age.
Love it.
These Chinese cars are going to force Hyundai and Kia to lower their prices.
And I can't wait till Xpeng's X9 700+km range on battery comes here.
I hope toyota/subaru to lower their prices.
Same, I want a landcruiser…
Discount!!! Mmmmm. What happened to the chip shortage?
Saw some honest reviews from china. One of them had wheels collapsed on a desert 🏜.
The rear wheels lifting off the ground under heavy breaking was a problem they were having here.
The mentality is quite different.
In China, cars are typically written off after 8 years, so long-term durability isn't expected.
Consequently, new car models are introduced almost every year, making frequent replacements the norm.
Exactly, Australians keep their cars for an average 10 years but these new cheap cars don’t even have that lifespan.
Do you really want to own a Volkswagen or Mercedes after 8 years?
Nah.
I recently sold my diesel VW Jetta that I'd owned for 13 years. Ultra reliable and I was loathe to sell it but it would have meant we'd have 4 cars if I'd kept it.
"VW is consistently ranked in the bottom 1/3 of car brands for reliability by Consumer Reports".
I don't know, seems like you got lucky.
@DnA-bargain: Maybe I did but VW has been good for me. It was a great car - as have all the VWs I've had.
Man it's such a hard time getting any kind of objective commentary out of this community sometimes. Having an amicable conversation about EVs is hard enough let alone when they're Chinese as well. I'd be surprised if anyone has ever even stepped foot in one of these.
join the australian based facebook group of owners to get a real insight
Very well said, there are lots of actual real life feedbacks from various owners on Haval Facebook groups. It seems lots of owners are happy with their Havals. Great to have more competition in the market, more choices for consumers.
Just buy a second-hand one and save yourself 40% from retail.
