(Daewoo)
Korando
went back on sale, October 1998.
It was discontinued (au) in May 2000;

of selling a larger short wheel base 4WD in Australia.

having bought Ssangyong in 1997,
Daewoo itself got into financial problems by late 1999

Ford won the bidding for Daewoo with a preliminary offer of $6.9 billion,
but withdrew in September.
2000 November 9: Daewoo declared bankrupt.
GM ~ Fiat are still thought to be interested in buying the company.
Holden Astra Convertible Turbo(Highly recommended sports car), from $49,990
This European convertible is a stunning car in so many ways. It's a great drive (with high performance 147kw Turbo). It's practical and apart from a small boot has abundant room for 4 or 5 at a pinch. It's loaded with standard features: air, power windows / steer, cruise, 6 speaker CD, ABS, traction control, airbags & more. It also looks great! My Managing Director's lovely wife owns one of these & I have no hesitation in recommending this car to you. A true bargain for a high performance Euro Convertible.
