I worked with a guy who had a Daewoo, this would have been in the early 2000s.
It was only a few years old when I came upon him on the side of the road
hoofing it back to the office after the thing had failed again. He ditched it
and got a Honyota or Toyonda or something but he hated the Daewoo. I told him I
was pretty sure Daewoo was a GM brand and he said he'd never buy a GM after the
way he'd been treated with the Daewoo.

I think i was more an issue of there being absolutely no name recognition for
the brand, therefore scaring the potential recipients due to their lack of
knowledge of said vehicle. I may have related the story here about my brother
trying to find a battery for it, and no one having any sort of application
information for the car - not FLAPS, Sears, NAPA, no one. He finally called me
and I told him to measure the battery, take the dimensions to wherever and have
them look up the group number, which he did.
I would have taken it for one of my kids, but I didn’t have time to go get it
nor did I want to invest the cost of having it transported. I do’t think it
would have held up well, either. From what I recall it was a real POS car from
the get-go.
