        For profitability of Chinese sales in Australia it is the RMB/$A rate that matters, not the $US/$A rate.

        That the Pacific Peso has been falling against the greenback is irrelevant; so have most currencies but especially so has the yuan. And given China's troubles that is likely to stay true for the next year or so.

      Maybe former Holden shops will have upskilled themselves by then. There might be a whole lot of Nissan specialists looking for a new market too.

      This was a pretty poor attempt at FUD, you should have gone with Chinese cars watching us all.

      • A mechanic?

        Mechanics are electricians and software developers now? Interesting, tell me more…

        This was a pretty poor attempt at FUD

        As someone who has worked on a lot of software projects, I can assure you that if the vendor disappears, no-one else will touch their shit without charging you more than the product is worth. But you do you.

          Who do you think repairs a car when you take it back to a dealer? It's mechanics. Whether they work for the dealer or not they're still mechanics. If Chery somehow implodes, their mechanics won't vanish into the ether.

          Or are you thinking this car is an EV and you simply have no idea how EVs are fixed by mechanics too?

          As someone who has worked on a lot of software projects, I can assure you that if the vendor disappears, no-one else will touch their shit without charging you more than the product is worth. But you do you.

          Must seriously suck for anyone driving a Holden that no one will fix their cars.

          How is Chery any different from any other car manufacturer? Nissan is on the brink, Stellantis (Jeep, Fiat, Citroen, RAM) has been in slow decline, at least Chery has seen massive growth the past couple of years. I would trust them more than a lot of legacy car companies right now.

            Reputation is the main difference and it matters.

            Must seriously suck for anyone driving a Holden that no one will fix their cars

            Holden didn't produce running gear, GM did, the Ecotec V6 and V8's are all standard GM American engine parts and that company still exists with a massive parts inventory. If Holden was a bespoke Australia company with bespoke parts then yes I'd say the same thing. Holden also didn't have a heavy dependence on software like all new cars these days, which make reputation even more important since any decent mechanic can fix mechanical things, but not any developer can fix any software economically.

            I would trust them more than a lot of legacy car companies right now.

            Well you do you. Personally it takes longer than 5 minutes of doing business for me to trust any company, let alone one that already has a poor track record here: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/chery-to-fade-…

              Reputation of US automakers all needing bailing out doesn't phase you?

              Uh, I never said anything about parts (even though the ecotec stopped being used long before Holden died, and there were Australia only Alloytec models, but I digress)…

              You said mechanics can't fix a Chery, then some rambling garbage about electricians. Now you're talking about parts.

              The question was who was going to fix it. I said a mechanic. Am I wrong? Remembering that the post I responded to assumed even dealers still exist.

              Well you do you. Personally it takes longer than 5 minutes of doing business for me to trust any company, let alone one that already has a poor track record here: https://www.carsales.com.au/editorial/details/chery-to-fade-…

              Fair point, although at the time someone else bought Chery cars into Australia, not Chery themselves. I wouldn't buy something like that (like I wouldn't buy an imported Kei truck).

              But you're right, it has been less than 2 years they've been properly in our market. I would trust Toyota more than I trust Chery. I would trust Chery more than I trust Stellantis or Nissan though. The problem I responded to is still utterly absurd though.

                Reputation of US automakers

                Somewhere in between black and white exist many shades of grey. You should check them out some time…

                I never said anything about parts

                How do you think repairs on anything are done? Do you think 'mechanics' are fabricating all the replacement pieces from scratch from raw materials on site?

                Now you're talking about parts.

                Any whole is made of parts. This applies to everything. Cars, houses, computers, cakes… Ask an adult to explain this to you if it still doesn't make sense. If the people making the parts stop making them and your thing breaks, how do you think the thing can be fixed?

                  @1st-Amendment: I thought cars were make of software and wires though.

                  Mechanics are electricians and software developers now? Interesting, tell me more…

                  OP asked what happens if you go to a dealer and they quote you a too high figure to fix it. I said go to a mechanic. That the dealer exists kinda assumes parts exist.

                  Have you ever heard of the word "context"?

                  Somewhere in between black and white exist many shades of grey. You should check them out some time…

                  So where do the two sit? You said that reputation matters, but you haven't said how it differs, only that Chery has been around 5 minutes, but has also been around long enough to exit and reenter the Australian market, but that leaving the market doesn't matter so long as the head company is fine, but if the head company is at risk that doesn't matter because reputation is in a grey area. Your posts are incredibly hard to follow.

                  How do you think repairs on anything are done? Do you think 'mechanics' are fabricating all the replacement pieces from scratch from raw materials on site?

                  Again, in the context of OPs post, how do you think the dealer repairs it when they overquote you?

                  Any whole is made of parts. This applies to everything. Cars, houses, computers, cakes… Ask an adult to explain this to you if it still doesn't make sense. If the people making the parts stop making them and your thing breaks, how do you think the thing can be fixed?

                  You do realise you also said

                  As someone who has worked on a lot of software projects, I can assure you that if the vendor disappears, no-one else will touch their shit without charging you more than the product is worth. But you do you.

                  Does that mean I can't get my house fixed either if by brick vendor disappears?

                  I agree that if Chery exit the global market and don't have any level of spare parts that would be a massive problem. That's not what OP said and I never claimed anything different.

                  • @freefall101:

                    You said that reputation matters, but you haven't said how it differs

                    I did exactly that in my first response to you. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/comment/16147353/redir

                    "Personally it takes longer than 5 minutes of doing business for me to trust any company, let alone one that already has a poor track record here"

                    Your posts are incredibly hard to follow

                    Not sure how simple I can make it:
                    - a very short history and during that history have already managed a few bad stories and zero good stories does not make for a company I trust.

                    Reputation generally requires time and a history of good experiences. Chery has neither IMO. You are welcome to trust them, it's still a mostly free country.

                    Does that mean I can't get my house fixed either if by brick vendor disappears?

                    You can but it will be more expensive. I can tell you from first hand experience because I had this exact problem. I have an 80 year old house that needed some repairs to the brickwork, but getting antique bricks to match the old ones costs much more because they don't make them any more. So you have to find boutique places that deal in recycled bricks and spend a lot of time and effort trying to find bricks that match your old ones then pay more for them. So yes this is the same issue. But the difference with a house you are talking a few hundred dollars extra on an appreciating asset worth millions, so it's economically worth it. If you have a $5k car that will be worth $0k in a year you are probably not going to spending $5k fixing it.

                    You called this FUD, but it is a very real financial risk for cheap no-name/no-history companies with a poor reputation. Especially one that already has form in abandoning it's customers here.

    Test Drove the Omoda last week in Knox, VIC. Good Car. bigger than the cheaper Tiggo 4 that we were considering. But we test drove the Haval Jolion after and that is a much better car at a cheaper price, 24k for premium & 27k for lux. much more space, power and is smoother ride. Picking the jolion up soon. Another deal breaker for the Omoda was the raised centre console, as it kept knocking the left elbow while driving and was too high to rest on too.

        The chery's were fixed price service for 7 years at abt 300 per service except the last 2, that are over $600. These details are available on their website.

  • Own one of these, top of the range latest update. Travels ok, bit floaty so any high speed manoeuvres hang on. Also the software is very Ali express. The emergency lane keeping will come at 65km and jar the stirring wheel to correct lane position when you're a mm out, also the front collision detection is so stupid. Almost caused an accident when I was turning right across oncoming traffic, it noticed the oncoming car and proceeded to slam on the brakes leaving me stranded infront of oncoming traffic. All this can be turned off but and will reactivate next key turn. Oh the ACC is bonkers, ok when Following another car, but when you approach a stationary car due to say traffic lights, the car will warn you about to have a smash before it applies the brakes at last min.so stupid.. besides that it's good

    Get about 10l/100km - normal driving, no quick take off etc

  • man these price wars of vehicles is insane…

    It brings me back to the days when i was a kid in the 90's and all these small car categories were selling for $13,990 drive away, no more to pay.

    Great for consumers. Honestly if I was like in my 60's and my kids were all grown up and I had to get a new car to enjoy a new car and new tech, I'd get one of these.
