and a few choice quotes:
“I can’t imagine being an owner of one of these cars,” said Kerry Bivens, general manager of Daewoo of Puyallup. [where we bought our wagon; thanks, dude.]
“I thought I was getting a good deal, and I’ve been really happy with the car,” he [Ari Mishkin] said, “but now it looks like I bought an Edsel.”

Twenty-three Daewoo dealers in Florida have filed suit against GM, claiming it has violated dealer franchise laws in Florida and other states by refusing to honor Daewoo Motor America’s contracts with dealers. GM has argued that since it bought only the assets of the parent company, it has no obligation to the dealers or, presumably, consumers.
I’m fscking pissed, and I’d like to find a class-action suit that we can join.
not that the credit union is being too helpful either. it looks like I’m about to be saddled with either a worthless car, or several thousand dollars in debt.
I will continue to craft my thoughts on this. if you have a weblog/journal and are reading this, please link & spread the word. if you are a daewoo owner, and either have news or would like to figure out some additional course of action, please use my contact form. thanks.
