The owner of the central region of Liu Shun was very confused "asked the man replied, 4S shop fitting manufacturers, but then I learned that the Internet, the original is a problem because of the brand."
"Young Lotus production bases, from May last year after another discontinued." Zhang told reporters: "The main chain scission is money, spare parts are not properly in place we can not produce." This resulting lean supply terminal, including vehicles and spare parts.
"Car Bought opened less than 7000 km 4S shop went bankrupt, the car was forced to" automatic "Paul, the future must not only repair the money from your account, and even have their own accessories, car young (women young Lotus company) is really misleading. "in the forums, Guangdong Province, an angry owner said. This reporter air conditioning reasons for failure to ask a dealer in China the parts supply situation in the city center, this dealer sales staff said that if the panel buttons air conditioning are just blame the store there four pieces can be replaced, if remaining fault, can not guarantee full of spare parts.
According to the "management approach sales car brand" today, the even discontinued models, manufacturers must also ensure the supply of spare parts for 10 years, and now, some of the owners of the car remains warranty period, have been the case accessories "default" appears. "Buy this car would do any preparation 'de Paul' car problems are now directly in the repair shop to get, but sometimes harder to find parts." In connection with the owners, the owners of the Northeast clearly more "quiet" According to its introduction, the three northeastern provinces currently have no young lotus Store (only partial sale).

"Although young lotus is its own brand, but before many of the parts are imported, so that maintenance is relatively high profits. Before learn a distributor Shandong repaired a car accident, the owner spent a total of $ 40,000, 4S nearly half of the profits from the store. therefore, when a lot of other network 4S shops or abandoned completely when the dealer put several other large cars are coming values shops continue to sell inexpensive Disks, incidentally, make the sale, in order to maintain the operation ".
Subsequently, the reporter as a consumer to call the Southwest is still a young lotus 4S store sales, sales of the store told reporters that the current car is running the store, if you need other models can book but "does not guarantee drive cycle". This is so, the seller said the factory only "capacity planning", the other does not mean anything.
