Stopped by the UM dealer again

[culcune]

Today, I went to the local UM dealer and I spoke with one of the shop owners about the UM enduros. He kept insisting that it is Korean-made. However, I had looked on the info plate, and it stated "Jiangsu Sacin" from China. He also told me that the engine was not Chinese after I pointed out that it looked very much like it was. He stated it was Korean. (I know that UM street bikes are Hyosung-sourced, hence the Korean connection, but c'mon!) In his defense, it could have been made in the vegetable garden in Albania, because the warranty is 3 years or 18 months, or something good like that.

I looked up the manufacturer and found them on alibaba.com, which lists them as Skyteam as well. I think Skyteams used to be imported into the states until UM rebadged them. Canada has the Skyteam brand listed on the search engine, as well, because I don't think you guys have United Motors distributors there.

I would love to have this bike, but would rather not pay the very premium price. I wonder if I could buy the bike, and sue the dealer for lying to me about the origin, and I would get to keep the bike for free?

(Disclaimer--please do not take some of what I said as serious. However, the dealer does not have the best reputation in Yuma from their days as a custom chopper manufacturer, and I can see why. Plus, he offered to sell me a Roketa enduro for something like $1800 out the door as they are an authorized Roketa dealer, too. No thanks!)
