Cars08 1st Gear October 15, 2012 Share October 15, 2012 Oh oh. I wonder how long ty run b4 ty start to fall apart? Safe or not? The purchase would have included all the maintenance and supply of parts for a period of time and other support I guess... Cant be jus buy the train jus bcos it is cheap....They always look at the overall package... China speed train working, so record set..working well or not never mind as long as can maintain well... we need china to continue growing our economic. then buy from who? Europe? That could cost u more...I dunno as i did not scrutinize the deal...I wld have a difficult time if I am scrutinizing it.... esp going china to shop for the trains.... it involves alot of hardship u know...

Should compare MIC's BMW, VW vs MIG's BMW and VW. If Price is half. and quality of MIC is 90% of MIG, why not MIC? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
