Daewoo
For the fourth article in our popular alphabetical manufacturer infomatrix we had a choice of three manufacturers, however, based on fleet frequency Daewoo was the winner by a whisker. With the popularity of new entrant Dacia, I’m sure Dacia would have been the winner later in the year!
The Daewoo brand has not been a player in the Irish market since 2004, and this is reflected in the high number of owners on average compared to other current manufacturers, for more information on the Daewoo story please check out wikipedia.
2015 Q1 Daewoo ROI fleet
For a brand that hasn’t sold new cars in Ireland for over 10 years, Daewoo used vehicle stats for ROI Q1 2015 are still in the region of 200 transactions per month**!
2015 Q1 Daewoo used sales
As you would expect the vast majority of sales are for vehicles with several owners.
2015 Q1 Daewoo used sales by owner
A larger number of previous owners gives greater opportunity for vehicles to be clocked. However, giving the relative age of the Daewoo fleet, the financial benefits for clocking these cars is probably limited.
If you are not buying from a main dealer, e.g. Privately, the service history should be verified and one should always check the mileage using a reputable car history check such as Cartell.ie, especially if your vehicle has more than one previous owner.
