I bought a Chinese car...in the US!

So, Polestar is the only Chinese car that I know of that has a loophole that allows it to be sold in the US. It's really nice, plus I got it used with low mileage.

From what I understood there was never a ban on Chinese cars being sold in the US, they just put an 100% tariff on them to make it impractical for both dealers and buyers.

Gotcha, I vaguely remember that now that you mention it. I wonder if that doesn't apply to Polestar since they weren't originally a Chinese-owned company, and even now Geely only owns 22% of them.

Nice, I just did a search on carfax and quite a few used cars are available in my region. Decent prices too

I think Geely also (partially?) owns Volvo now.

Yep, I saw that as well. I saw some new Volvos at the dealer and they look really nice.
