And with prices ranging from $4K for a QQ to sky's the limit for a luxury import, averages are for the birds. Typically, Chinese margins are very tight, especially at the low end. I learned to be careful with Chinese numbers anyway. Not that they are intentionally making them up, numbers gathering is not as advanced as in the west, it's a big country, and 100 or so manufacturers don't make the job easier. @Pete: Don’t have any info on average selling price, never seen one.

Is there any reason to believe such vehicle sales are high margin? What margin would you guess at? (Sorry for the barrage). @ Bertel

Is there any information on the average selling price for 2008? Is there any reason to believe such vehicle sales are high margin? What margin would you guess at?
