Shandong Liangzi Anyone?

Hey there!

Newbie here and I have been offered a 2008 Shandong Liangzi LZ970-F with 4300km on it. It is a four door with a small truck bed. It looks pretty good and a used car dealer has it, not a specialized mini-truck place.

Any reason why I should or should not buy this thing? Where would I get parts for maintenance?

Thanks for your help and guidance.

Sounds Chinese and most guys around shy away from them,poor quality,no support.

 

All the Chinese do is clone Japanese stuff. If you know what it is cloned off of you probably can get the Japanese manufacture parts

 

But it maybe completely made from chinesium.. And may turn to rust before your eyes.

 

Same way we used to make fun of Japanese products during the 50 & 60s. The saying was "if it's made by the J.A. PAN Co, it's no good & won't last. The Japanese have come a long ways since those days when most all their technology was copied from the US. Now they are innovators.

 

I can get it for $3800... I can also register it here in TX and drive it on the road.

I'd love to make sure I can find oil filters and maybe brake pads before I buy this thing...

Thoughts?

 

Try to pm Terry Beardon in Austin,he posts here as Trax and Horns, He's a dealer and a real good guy and will tell you all you need to know about these trucks.

 

I have one and it uses a Harley Davidson sportster oil filter! 34k on mine and listing for 4500.
