eBay Seller Tells us "This Vehicle Doesn't Look Like the Typical Junk from Overseas"

We don't why you would want to, but as it turns out, you can own a SsangYong in the United States, or kind of, since the seller of this low mileage 2011 SsangYong Actyon Sports that has been re-engineered to run on battery power doesn't mention the truck's name or brand.

Instead, the California seller lists it as "Other Makes" – so when someone asks you what you're driving, you'll simply say, "a 2011 Other Makes 4-Door w/Utility Bed".

From the eBay page, we learn that this is a 100 percent electric vehicle with a top speed of 35mph (56km/h) and a driving range of 25 miles (40 kilometers), with the seller stating, "This vehicle doesn't look like the typical junk from overseas - it's the same size as a Toyota Tacoma Crew Cab, just electric."
