That's right. I found some Chinese junk (not the !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) on eBay.

Kinja'd!!!

It's a 2004 !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! mini truck. Basically, what a Marathon mini truck is...it's a renamed Wuling mini truck.

Wuling, for those not fluent in the Chinese automotive industry, is one brand of a joint venture between GM and SAIC, producing (mostly) laughable small trucks and vans (along with the Baojin 630 (possibly based on the Daewoo Lacetti/Buick Excelle, but that's just speculation) and the Baojin Lechi (literally a locally produced version of the first generation Daewoo Matiz)).

These Marathon vans/truck are basically Wuling Dragons, which trace their origins back to the Mitsubishi Minicab of the 90's.

This one has 3,582 original miles and is claimed to have been used as a flight line vehicle by the US Air Force in Arizona (right, like anyone's gonna believe the USAF used this deathtrap for anything).

Seller wants $6,400. For that cash, you can buy one of many much better vehicles. A used first generation !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , a 1965 !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ...the list goes on.
