ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	12 Months Ended

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION [Abstract]	'
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	'
	1.                            ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
	Lentuo International Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated as an exempted company with limited liability in the Cayman Islands on September 9, 2009 and is considered a foreign entity under the laws of the People's Republic of China (the "PRC"). The Company is principally engaged in the sales of new and leased automobiles and the provision of automobile repair and maintenance services, and to a lesser extent, the provision of automobile leasing services (collectively, the "Automobile Business"). The sale of new automobiles and provision of automobile repair and maintenance services are provided through dealerships which operate under the terms of non-exclusive franchise agreements with specific automobile manufacturers. The Company does not conduct any substantive operations on its own but instead conducts its business operations through its variable interest entities ("VIEs") which are all located in the PRC. The Company, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs are hereinafter referred to as the Group.
	On December 15, 2010, the Company completed an initial public offering ("IPO") on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "LAS" with the issuance of 6,500,000 American Depositary Shares ("ADS") priced at US$8.00 per ADS. Each ADS represents two ordinary shares at par value US$0.00001 per ordinary share. The IPO yielded aggregate gross proceeds of US$52,000.
	The Company incorporated Lentuo Automobile Trading (Hong Kong) Co., Ltd. ("Lentuo Hong Kong") and Beijing Anhui Wanxing Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ("Lentuo Beijing") on September 25, 2009 and November 17, 2009, respectively. Lentuo Hong Kong and Lentuo Beijing have been wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company since their inception. On January 28, 2010 and June 20, 2010, Lentuo Hong Kong and Lentuo Beijing entered into a series of contractual arrangements ("VIE Arrangements") with Beijing Lentuo Electromechanical Group Co., Ltd. ("Lentuo Electromechanical"), an entity incorporated under the Company Law of the PRC, and controlled by Mr. Hetong Guo ("Mr. Guo"), who was then the controlling shareholder of the Company. Pursuant to the VIE Arrangements, Lentuo Hong Kong and Lentuo Beijing, as a group, obtained effective control over eight wholly-owned subsidiaries of Lentuo Electromechanical ("Automobile Operating Entities") through the ability to exercise all the rights of the Automobile Operating Entities' shareholder, the rights to absorb substantially all of the economic residual benefits and the obligation to fund all of the expected losses of the Automobile Operating Entities.
	Lentuo Hong Kong has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of the Automobile Operating Entities because it is most closely associated with the Automobile Operating Entities, due to its obligation to absorb the expected losses of the Automobile Operating Entities through the provision of unlimited financial support and its power to direct the activities of the Automobile Operating Entities that most significantly impact the Automobile Operating Entities' economic performance. In accordance with Rule 3A-02 of SEC Regulation S-X and Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") topic 810 ("ASC 810"), Consolidation, the Company, through Lentuo Hong Kong, consolidates the operating results of the Automobile Operating Entities. Since the VIE Arrangements were entered into between entities under common control, these transactions were accounted for at their historical cost and as if they took place at the beginning of the year in a manner similar to a pooling of interest. The reason the Group entered into these VIE Arrangements was due to the fact that PRC Laws and regulations (i) prohibit direct foreign control in certain industries such as advertising enterprises in which the Group has some operations and (ii) restrict an offshore company controlled or established by a PRC enterprise or natural person to acquire its PRC affiliates. As a result, in an effort to ensure that the Group is not violating such PRC laws or regulations, it structured its legal organization using the aforementioned VIE arrangements.
	In January 2011, Lentuo Electromechanical established a new entity, Beijing Lentuo Tongda Automobile Sales Service Co., Ltd. ("Tongda"), to operate an automobile dealership under brand of FAW-Volkswagen with registered capital of RMB10,000 (US$1,589). On April 8, 2011, Lentuo Hong Kong and Lentuo Beijing entered into VIE Arrangements with Lentuo Electromechanical to obtain effective control over Tongda, and Tongda became one of the Company's VIE subsidiaries. The terms of the VIE Arrangements entered into after the reorganization with Tongda are identical to the terms of the VIE Arrangements with the Automobile Operating Entities. As a result, Lentuo Hong Kong has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of Tongda. In accordance with Rule 3A-02 of SEC Regulation S-X and ASC 810, the Company, through Lentuo Hong Kong, consolidates the operating results of Tongda. Since the Tongda VIE Arrangements were entered into between entities under common control, this transaction was accounted for at historical cost in a manner similar to a pooling of interest. Tongda and the Automobile Operating Entities are hereinafter collectively referred to as the VIEs.
	In October 2012, the Company, acting through Lentuo Electromechanical, entered into an agreement with ITOCHU Corporation and its affiliate in China (collectively, ''ITOCHU''), a Global Fortune 500 company based in Japan, to expand sales and services in the high-end car segment in China. Pursuant to the agreement, ITOCHU agreed to invest RMB300,000 in Beijing Lentuo Aotong Automobile Trading Co. Ltd. ("Aotong"), the Company's Audi dealership and an existing VIE of the Group, in exchange for 40% economic and voting interest in Aotong held by Lentuo Electromechanical. The VIE Arrangement for Aotong was amended such that each agreement is only applicable to the remaining 60% equity interest in Aotong held by Lentuo Electromechanical. The amended VIE Arrangement took effect in July 2013 after the local government approved ITOCHU's investment in Aotong. Lentuo Hong Kong continued to be the primary beneficiary of Aotong because it remains most closely associated with Aotong due to its obligation to absorb the expected losses of Aotong through the provision of unlimited financial support and its power to direct the activities of Aotong that most significantly impact the Aotong's economic performance. In accordance with Rule 3A-02 of SEC Regulation S-X and ASC 810, the Company, through Lentuo Hong Kong, continues to consolidate the operating results of Aotong after ITOCHU's investment.
	The significant terms of each VIE Arrangement are listed below:
	(i)                          Exclusive call option agreement
	Lentuo Electromechanical irrevocably granted Lentuo Hong Kong or its designated persons the exclusive option to purchase part of or the entire equity interests of the VIEs at any time for the minimum price permitted under PRC law. Any amount received by Lentuo Electromechanical from VIEs is required to be remitted back to Lentuo Hong Kong.  In addition, Lentuo Hong Kong is obligated to provide unlimited financial funding to the VIEs when and if required. If the VIEs cannot repay the funds provided by Lentuo Hong Kong, Lentuo Hong Kong must agree to forego the right to seek repayment.  Furthermore, neither Lentuo Electromechanical nor the VIEs are permitted to (i) enter into transactions that could materially affect the VIEs' assets, liabilities, share capital or operations or (ii) distribute any dividends and grant any loan to third parties without the prior written consent of Lentuo Hong Kong. The exclusive call option agreement is effective for 10 years and Lentuo Hong Kong has the sole discretion to extend the agreement for another 10 years.
	(ii)                      Powers of attorney
	Pursuant to the powers of attorney signed between Lentuo Electromechanical, in its capacity as the shareholder of the VIEs, and Lentuo Hong Kong, Lentuo Electromechanical irrevocably assigns its full voting rights in the VIEs to Lentuo Hong Kong. The powers of attorney will remain effective as long as Lentuo Electromechanical is the shareholder of the VIEs.
	(iii)                  Exclusive technology consulting and service agreement
	Pursuant to the exclusive technology consulting and service agreement entered into between Lentuo Beijing and the VIEs, Lentuo Beijing has the exclusive and irrevocable right to provide to the VIEs various technical and consulting services, such as market research, business strategy development, technical training and other consultative services related to the automobile retail business. In return, the VIEs are required to pay Lentuo Beijing a service fee in an amount as determined at the sole discretion of Lentuo Beijing. Lentuo Beijing is entitled to charge service fees on a quarterly basis up to 100% of the total quarterly profit of the VIEs excluding the portion attributable to the noncontrolling interests of Aotong. The quarterly profit of each VIE is defined as net income and comprehensive income attributable to controlling interests in each fiscal quarter as determined in accordance with US GAAP. Lentuo Beijing also has the unilateral right to change the service fee amount. Lentuo Beijing's unilateral right to change the quarterly service fee is not subject to any quantitative limitations. Lentuo Beijing determines the actual amount it charges based on the business and operating needs of itself and each VIE. The agreement is effective for 10 years and will automatically extend for another 10 years unless both Lentuo Beijing and the VIEs agree to terminate.
	(iv)                    Equity interest pledge agreement
	Pursuant to the equity interest pledge agreement entered into by Lentuo Beijing and Lentuo Electromechanical, in its capacity as the shareholder of the VIEs, Lentuo Electromechanical has pledged its entire equity interest in the VIEs to Lentuo Beijing to (i) guarantee the performance of the VIEs' obligations under the exclusive technical consultation and service agreement and (ii) assure that any actions of Lentuo Electromechanical are in the best interest of Lentuo Beijing. If the VIEs breach their respective contractual obligations under the exclusive technical consultation and service agreement, Lentuo Beijing, as pledgee, will be entitled to certain rights, including the right to sell the pledged equity interest. Lentuo Electromechanical agreed not to transfer, sell, pledge, dispose of or otherwise create any new encumbrance on its equity interest in the VIEs without the prior consent of Lentuo Beijing. The agreement will expire upon the termination of the exclusive technical consultation and service agreement.

Inter-company payables consist of temporary funding between the consolidated VIEs and other entities within the Group. In addition, the consolidated VIEs had inter-company payables of nil and RMB1,500 (US$248) to Lentuo Beijing for accrued service fees as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. Service fees paid by the consolidated VIEs to Lentuo Beijing were RMB4,207, RMB13,422 and RMB2,868 (US$474) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
The following financial performance of the consolidated VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs were included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013:
	Years ended December 31,

Net cash generated from (used in) financing activities	19,689		(17,714	)	866,368		143,114
As of December 31, 2013, there was no pledge or collateralization of the assets of the consolidated VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs and the Company has not provided any financial support that it was not previously contractually required to provide to the consolidated VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs. The VIEs had certain trademarks used for the Group's business operations. Such trademarks were internally developed, for which the Group did not incur significant costs. Except for the restricted cash held by the VIEs, there were no assets of the VIEs that can only be used to settle their own obligations.
Creditors of the consolidated VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs have no recourse to the general credit of Lentuo Hong Kong, who is the primary beneficiary of the consolidated VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs. The amounts of liabilities of the VIEs have been parenthetically presented on the consolidated balance sheets.
The Company had working capital deficiency of RMB228,979 (US$37,824) as of December 31, 2013 and had net cash used in operating activities of RMB228,017 (US$37,666) for the year then ended.  As such, continued operation of the Company is dependent upon the Company's ability to raise additional capital, obtain financing or to improve future operations.  The Company believes that the Group had unutilized bank facilities of RMB669,000 (US$110,509) as of December 31, 2013 would provide sufficient liquidity to finance the Company's anticipated working capital and capital expenditure requirements for the next twelve months.
Based on the above considerations, management is of the opinion that the Company has sufficient funds to meet its working capital requirements and debt obligations in the next twelve months.  As a result, management believes it is appropriate to prepare these consolidated financial statements on the basis that the Company will continue as a going concern and thus these consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability and classification of recorded assets or the amounts and classification of liabilities that might have been necessary should the Company not be able to continue in existence as a going concern.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	12 Months Ended

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	'
	2.                            SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
	(a)                       Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs for which a subsidiary of the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
	In accordance with ASC 810, net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the Company and noncontrolling interests based on the relative ownership interests in the subsidiary.  If a substantive profit sharing agreement exists, net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss of a partially-owned subsidiary are attributed between the Company and noncontrolling interests based on the terms of the substantive profit sharing agreement. Losses are attributed to the noncontrolling interests even when the noncontrolling interests' basis in the partially-owned subsidiary has been reduced to zero.  Accordingly, any excess loss attributed to the noncontrolling interests is reported in consolidated financial statements as a deficit balance in the noncontrolling interests line in shareholders' equity.
	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP").
	(b)                       Use of estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, estimation of rebates earned, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions and consolidation of VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
	(c)                        Foreign currency
	The Company has determined its functional currency to be the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") while its subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs have determined their functional currency to be their respective local currencies based on the criteria of ASC topic 830 ("ASC 830"), Foreign Currency Matters. The Company's subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs located in the PRC have determined their functional currency to be the RMB. The Company uses the RMB as its reporting currency.
	Each entity in the Group maintains its financial records in its own functional currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are measured at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are remeasured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
	(d)                    Convenience translation
	Amounts in United States dollars ("US$") are presented for the convenience of readers of the financial statements and the translations of RMB into US$ have been made at the exchange rate of RMB6.0537 to US$1.00 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board on December 31, 2013. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been or could be converted into the US$ at this rate.
	(e)                        Fair value of financial instruments
	Financial instruments include cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, certain other current assets, accounts payable, certain other current liabilities, amounts due from/to related parties, amounts due to employees, short-term loans and long-term loans. The carrying values of these financial instruments, except for long-term loans, approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying values of the long-term loans approximate their fair values, as the loans bear interest at rates determined based on the prevailing interest rates in the market. The Company applies ASC topic 820 ("ASC 820"), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.
	ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
	Level 1- Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2- Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
	Level 3- Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
	ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
	The Group had no financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2013.
	The following table sets forth assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2013:
			Fair value at December 31, 2012 measured using
		Carrying	Quoted	Significant	Significant	Total loss in 2012

			(Level 1)
		RMB	RMB	RMB	RMB	RMB	US$
	Intangible assets - Acquired dealership agreements	78,950	-	-	77,250	1,700	281
	The fair value of dealership agreements as of December 31, 2013 was measured using the income approach with significant inputs that are not observable in the market (Level 3), including a discount rate of 15% and a long-term sustainable growth rate of 3%.
	In accordance with ASC subtopic 350-30 ("ASC 350-30"), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, dealership agreements with a carrying amount of RMB78,950 were written down to an implied fair value of RMB77,250 (US$12,760), resulting in an impairment charge of RMB1,700 (US$281), which was included in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2013 (Note 11).
	(f)                         Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions with original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase and are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.
	(g)                        Accounts receivable
	Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable based on an assessment of specific evidence including the aging of the balance, the customer's payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts receivable are written off after all collection effort has ceased.
	(h)                       Inventories
	Inventories, consisting of new automobiles, spare parts and accessories, are stated at the lower of purchased cost net of rebates or market value. Purchase cost is determined by the weighted-average method.
	The Group's purchase arrangements with certain automobile manufacturers entitle the Group to receive a specified amount of cash rebates if certain conditions are met during the stated rebate periods. The Group accounts for these rebates in accordance with ASC sub-topic 605-50 ("ASC 605-50"), Revenue Recognition: Customer Payments and Incentives. Rebates that are solely based on conditions that are fixed or can be reasonably estimated, such as volume purchase rebates, are recognized on an accrual basis based on the Group's purchase estimates. Rebates that are based on subjective factors such as customer satisfaction results or based on the discretion of the automobile manufacturer are recognized only when realized. Rebates relating to motor vehicles purchased but still held by the Group as at the balance sheet date are recorded as a reduction to cost of inventories or cost of leased automobiles held for sale while rebates relating to motor vehicles purchased and sold during the reporting period are recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold.
	(i)                           Leased automobiles held for sale
	On December 23, 2010, the Beijing municipal government issued a number of new measures, which became effective immediately, aimed at curbing traffic congestion in Beijing, the PRC. Under these measures, the issuance of new license plates in Beijing is subject to an annual quota and will be implemented through a monthly lottery selection system. The legal title of automobiles cannot be transferred to customers who have not obtained a new license plate from the Beijing municipal government. To assist certain customers who are in the license plate lottery, the Group will enter into a renewable lease agreement to lease the automobile which the customer intends to purchase until such time the customer acquires a license plate. The customer makes an initial payment for the full sales price of the automobile, pays a nominal monthly fee, and will either take title to the automobile upon obtaining a license plate or return it for a refund of the then fair value of the automobile. During the period the automobile is under lease, it is classified in current assets as a leased automobile held for sale and is depreciated over the expected useful life of 10 years.
	(j)                          Property and equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
	Buildings	40 years
	Machinery	5 years
	Office equipment	5 years
	Motor vehicles	5 years
	Expenditures for major additions or improvement that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Expenditures for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the assets are charged to expense when incurred. Retirement, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation, with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	All direct and indirect costs that are related to the construction of property and equipment and incurred before the assets are ready for their intended use are capitalized as construction in progress. Construction in progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these assets are ready for their intended use. Interest costs are capitalized if they are incurred during the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset and such costs could have been avoided if expenditures for the assets have not been made. Capitalization of interest costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Interest costs are capitalized until the assets are ready for their intended use. Capitalization of interest costs is suspended during extended periods in which activities related to the acquisition or construction of the qualifying assets is interrupted. Interest expense of nil, RMB10,966, and RMB7,684 (US$1,269) was capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
	(k)                       Land use rights
	Land use rights represent amounts paid for the right to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective land use rights agreements, which are 50 years.
	(l)                           Business combinations
The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC topic 805 ("ASC 805"), Business Combinations. The purchase method of accounting requires that the consideration transferred to be allocated to the assets acquired, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities assumed by the Company based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly as a gain in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. The Company determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity's current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets, forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period.
(m)                  Intangible assets
Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and recorded impairment.  Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the intangible assets. The intangible assets as of December 31, 2013 included customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 10 years and dealership agreements with an indefinite useful life. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life while dealership agreements are not amortized.
The Company tests dealership agreements for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment in accordance with ASC 350-30.  The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of comparing the carrying amount of the intangible asset to its fair value. Fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate. Any excess of the carrying amount over the asset's fair value is recorded as an impairment charge.
(n)                       Goodwill
Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of an acquired business. In accordance with ASC topic 350 ("ASC 350"), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, recorded goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment present. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company assigned and assessed goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company had eleven and twelve reporting units, respectively.
The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step test. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Fair value is primarily determined by computing the future discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the reporting unit. If the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, goodwill may be impaired. If this occurs, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the implied goodwill fair value is less than its carrying value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.
The annual goodwill impairment test is performed on December 31 of each year. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08 ("ASU 2011-08"), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), the Group has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step test. If the Group believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required.
In 2013, the Company elected to assess goodwill for impairment using the two-step test. As of December 31, 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment test on goodwill that has arisen from the business combinations during 2011. The Company determined the fair value of the reporting units using the income approach based on the discounted expected cash flows associated with the reporting unit. The discounted cash flows for the reporting units were based on six year projections. Cash flow projections were based on past experience, actual operating results, and management's best estimates about future developments as well as certain market assumptions. Cash flows after the forecast period were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered terminal value growth at 3%, considering the long term revenue growth for entities in a similar industry in the PRC. The discount rate of approximately 14% was derived and used in the valuations which reflect the market assessment of the risks specific to the Company and its industry and is based on its weighted average cost of capital. The resulting fair values of the reporting units were not less than the carrying values; thus, the Company was not required to complete the second step. No impairment of goodwill was recognized for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.
(o)                       Impairment of long-lived assets
The Group evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, land use rights and intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC subtopic 360-10 ("ASC 360-10"), Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. When these events occur, the Group assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the expected future undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the years presented.
(p)                       Long-term investment
The Group's long-term investment consists of one cost method investment.
In accordance with ASC subtopic 325-20 ("ASC 325-20"), Investments-Other: Cost Method Investments, for investments in an investee over which the Group does not have significant influence, the Group carries the investment at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings. The Group's management regularly evaluates the impairment of its cost method investment based on the performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of estimated market values. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee's cash position, recent financing, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and current and future financing needs. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) equal to the excess of the investment's cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment.
(q)                       Revenue recognition
For each of the significant sources of revenue stated below, revenue is recognized only when the following four criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the goods have been delivered or the services have been rendered, (iii) the price or fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
(i)                 Sales of automobiles
The Group and the customer sign an agreement containing the significant terms of sales to evidence that an arrangement exists. Delivery of the automobile is evidenced by the customer's sign-off on an acceptance form upon receipt. The purchase price is fixed or determinable because it is stipulated in the signed sales agreement and no concessions such as discounts, rebates, refunds or other price changes are provided subsequently. For the vast majority of sales, the customers pay the full purchase price in cash upon delivery of the automobile. The Group conducts thorough credit checks on customers prior to extending credit to such customers. Some customers obtain loans at market terms through third-party financial institutions. The Group arranges for the customer to pick up the automobile only after the customer's loan application is approved and typically receives the full payment from the financial institutions within two weeks of the delivery date. Financial institutions bear full collection risk and there is no recourse to the Group in the event a customer defaults on the loan payments. The Group has not experienced any defaults on payments from financial institutions once a loan application has been approved. Therefore, collectability is considered reasonably assured by the Group when a customer's loan application is approved. Accordingly, revenue on automobile sales is recognized by the Group upon delivery of the automobile to the customer which coincides with when all the conditions required for revenue recognition have been met.
(ii)              Automobile repair and maintenance services
Revenue generated from automobile repair and maintenance services is recognized after services have been rendered and accepted by the customer. A work order detailing the services to be provided and the preliminary price estimate is signed by the end customer and service representative from the Group prior to the requested service being performed. When the service has been completed, the customer signs a settlement worksheet as evidence of acceptance of the services provided and the final fees charged for such services which signifies persuasive evidence of an arrangement and performance of services. Fees are considered fixed or determinable because no subsequent concessions such as discounts, rebates, refunds or other price changes are provided subsequent to the customer's acceptance. The majority of repair and maintenance services provided by the Group are paid in full by the customer upon delivery of the serviced automobile to the customer. The Group also accepts repair work that is paid directly by the customer's insurance company. Collectability is considered reasonably assured as the Group verifies that the service and charges are acceptable under the customer's insurance policy coverage directly with the insurance company prior to performing the work. Lastly, fees charged to suppliers for repair and maintenance services covered by supplier's warranties are based on standard rates billed to customers and insurance companies for such services. Suppliers settle fees charged for warranty-covered services on a monthly basis. Collectability is considered reasonably assured as the Group deals with only reputable insurance companies and suppliers and historically, the Group has not experienced any significant defaults for payment. Based on the above, revenue on automobile repair and maintenance services is recognized upon completion of the requested services and delivery of the serviced automobile to the customer which coincides with when all the conditions required for revenue recognition have been met.
(iii)           Sales of leased automobiles
In connection with the limitations on license plates issued by the Beijing municipal government, certain customers first lease their automobiles from the Group before taking title of their automobiles.  These customers are required to pay the full purchase price of the automobiles in cash as a deposit upon signing the lease agreement. The Group initially records these deposits as deferred revenue. The revenue is subsequently recognized if and when the customer receives a license plate for the automobile and elects to obtain the legal title of the automobile from the Group. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is evidenced by the lease agreement. Delivery of the title of the automobile is evidence by the transfer of the legal title from the Group to customers. The purchase price is fixed or determinable because it is stipulated in the signed lease agreement and no concessions such as discounts, rebates, refunds or other price changes are provided subsequently. Collectability has been established as the customer has paid the full purchase price of the automobile in cash upon signing the lease agreement. Accordingly, revenue on leased automobile sales is recognized by the Group upon legal transfer of the automobile title to the customer which coincides with when all the conditions required for revenue recognition have been met.
(iv)          Other services
Included in other services are commission fees that third-party financial institutions pay to the Group for arranging for customers to obtain automobile insurance or financing loans from these financial institutions as well as revenues from the provision of short-term automobile leasing services. The Group is not a party to the insurance or financing contracts which are solely between the third-party financial institution and the customer. Persuasive evidence of the arrangement is documented in a contract signed by the third-party financial institutions and the Group. The commission fees are fixed and non-refundable once received. Payment of the commission fee coincides with the completion of the required service which results in the recognition of revenue. The Group had limited operations relating to automobile leasing services, which accounted for an insignificant portion of total revenues for all years presented. Revenues from the provision of automobile leasing services are recognized ratably over the lease terms, typically less than one year, in accordance with ASC 840. All leases have been accounted for as operating leases.
In accordance with ASC sub-topic 605-45 ("ASC 605-45"), Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, the Group acts as the principal in its automobile sales, leased automobiles sales and repair and maintenance transactions with its customers. Accordingly, the Group records revenues from automobile sales and automobile repair and maintenance services on a gross basis. In all such arrangements, the Group contracts directly with its end customers, serves as the primary obligor, and assumes inventory risk.
The Group's automobile manufacturers provide certain incentives to the Group's customers through the Group.  As the Group has direct contact with the consumer, the Group agrees to accept, at the point of sale to the consumer, the automobile manufacturer's incentives that are tendered by the consumer. In accordance with ASC sub-topic 605-50 ("ASC 605-50"), Revenue Recognition: Customer Payments and Incentives, the Group characterizes the incentives offered to customers by manufacturers as revenue, as (i) the incentive can be tendered by a customer at any dealer for the automobile manufacturer's product; (ii) the Group receives a direct reimbursement from the automobile manufacturer based on the face amount of the incentive; (iii) terms of reimbursement to the Group for the automobile manufacturer's incentive offered to the consumer are not influenced by or negotiated in conjunction with any other incentive arrangements between the automobile manufacturer and the Group; and (iv) the Group is subject to an implied agency relationship with the automobile manufacturer in the sales incentive transaction between the automobile manufacturer and the customer.
In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, value-added tax ("VAT") is levied on the invoiced value of sales and is payable by the purchaser. The Group is required to remit the VAT it collects to the tax authority, but may deduct the VAT it has paid on eligible purchases. The difference between the amounts collected and paid is presented as VAT recoverable or payable balance on the consolidated balance sheets. VAT amounted to RMB512,859, RMB550,090 and RMB551,244 (US$91,059) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Group recognized revenues net of VAT.
The Group is subject to business tax on the other services revenues earned in the PRC. The applicable rate of business tax is 5% of the revenue. Revenues derived from sales of automobiles, leased automobiles and automobile repair and maintenance services are not subject to business tax. Business tax for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 was RMB2,430, RMB2,279 and RMB3,725 (US$615), respectively. The Group recognized revenues net of business tax.
(r)                          Cost of goods sold
Cost of goods sold consists primarily of (i) purchase costs of new automobiles, net of rebates from automobile manufacturers (Note 2(h) and Note 6); (ii)  depreciation of leased automobiles held for sale (Note 2(i) and Note 7); and (iii) the net carrying amount of leased automobiles held for sale upon legal transfer of the automobile title to customers (Note 2(i) and Note 7). Cost of services consists of the cost of spare parts consumed, direct labor and materials, an allocation of indirect overhead expenses attributable to repair and maintenance services, amortization of intangible assets related to customer relationships and the 5% business tax or the 6% value-added tax for technology consulting and service fees charged by Lentuo Beijing to the VIEs. Lentuo Beijing has been subject to valued-added tax of 6% effective September 2012.
(s)                         Advertising expenditures
Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenditures included in sales, marketing and distribution expenses amounted to RMB37,629, RMB27,764 and RMB22,846 (US$3,774) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
(t)                          Income taxes
The Group follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC topic 740 ("ASC 740"), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
The Group applies ASC 740 to account for uncertainties in income taxes.  In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, the Group recognizes in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if a tax return position or future tax position is "more-likely-than-not" to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
The Group's estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, is periodically assessed for adequacy and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and expiration of the statutes of limitation. The outcome for a particular audit cannot be determined with certainty prior to the conclusion of the audit and, in some cases, appeal or litigation process. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Group's estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are recorded in the Group's financial statements. Additionally, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require the Group to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions.  Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes occur.
Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are computed in accordance with the relevant PRC tax law. The amount of interest expense is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as interest expenses and other expenses, respectively.
(u)                       Comprehensive income
Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC topic 220 ("ASC 220"), Comprehensive Income, requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. For each of the years presented, the Group's comprehensive income is equivalent to its net income.
The Company applies ASU No. 2011-05 ("ASU 2011-05"), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income, by presenting items of net income and other comprehensive income, if any, in one continuous statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).
(v)                       Employee benefits
Full time employees of the Company's subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on a specific percentage of the employees' salaries up to a maximum of three times the average annual salary for the city in which the subsidiary operates for the prior year. The Company's subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs have no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were RMB14,951, RMB19,169 and RMB22,309 (US$3,685) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
(w)                 Segment reporting
In accordance with ASC topic 280 ("ASC 280"), Segment Reporting, the Group's chief operating decision maker, who has been identified as the chief executive officer, regularly reviews the financial information and operating results of the twelve dealerships as well as the combined financial information of the seven brands when making decisions about resources allocation and assessing performance of the Group.  For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group had eleven, eleven and twelve operating segments, respectively.  Based on the Company's organizational structure of its operations, the Company aggregated certain operating segments under the same brand for reporting purposes in accordance with ASC 280.  The seven reportable segments included Audi, FAW-Volkswagen, FAW-Mazda, Toyota, Shanghai-Volkswagen, Chang An-Mazda, and GAC-Honda.
The accounting policies used in the Group's segment reporting are the same as those used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements. As substantially all of the Group's long-lived assets and revenues are in and derived from the PRC, geographical segments are not presented.
(x)                       Earnings per share
In accordance with ASC topic 260 ("ASC 260"), Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the year.
(y)                      Leases
In accordance with ASC 840, leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. For the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exist: (i) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (ii) there is a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term is at least 75% of the property's estimated remaining economic life or (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. A capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. On June 20, 2010, Lentuo Electromechanical entered into a capital lease arrangement for a building with Huitong whereby Huitong obtained the right to use the building for the remainder of its expected useful life of 40 years for nil consideration and was granted a bargain purchase option to acquire the building at a nominal value at the end of the lease term. Accordingly, Huitong accounted for the building as a capital lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over their lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded total rental expenses of RMB8,253, RMB11,859 and RMB13,029 (US$2,152), respectively, on its operating leases.
(z)                    Recently issued accounting standards
In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11"),  Income Taxes(Topic 740), to provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists.  ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions.  The modifications to ASC 740 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

	3.                            BUSINESS COMBINATIONS
	For the Group's business expansion, the Company completed the following business combinations during the year ended December 31, 2011:
	Acquisition of Shuntong
	On July 27, 2011, Chengxin Commercial, a VIE of the Company, acquired 100% of the equity interest in Shuntong from two independent individuals for total cash consideration of RMB43,000. Shuntong has operated an FAW-Mazda automobile dealership located in Beijing, the PRC, since 2009.
	Acquisition of Ruitai
	On July 4, 2011, Chengxin Commercial and Yuantongqiao Toyota, two VIEs of the Company, acquired 100% of the equity interests in Zhongbaotongda and Boruiyingjie, respectively, for cash consideration of RMB16,000 in total.  Zhongbaotongda and Boruiyingjie each held 30% of the equity interest in Ruitai, which has operated a Honda automobile dealership located in Tianjin, the PRC, since 2008. The remaining 40% equity interest in Ruitai is held by Tianjin Tianwu Automobile Development Co., Ltd. ("Tianwu"). Through Zhongbaotongda and Boruiyingji, the Group indirectly holds 60% equity interest in Ruitai. Prior to the acquisition on July 1, 2011, the Ruitai shareholders passed a resolution to give its board of directors power over the key operating decisions of Ruitai. It was also resolved that Ruitai's board of directors subsequent to the acquisition would consist of seven directors, including four directors assigned by Chengxin Commercial and Yuantongqiao Toyota, and all board resolutions will be passed by a simple majority.  The Group, through Chengxin Commercial and Yuantongqiao Toyota, obtained effective control of Ruitai and accounted for this acquisition as a business combination.
	Acquisition of Huizhou FAW-VW
	On September 1, 2011, Tuozhan I&C, a VIE of the Company, acquired 100% of the equity interest in Huizhou FAW-VW from two independent individuals for total cash consideration of RMB89,000. Huizhou FAW-VW has operated an FAW-Volkswagen automobile dealership located in Huizhou, Guangdong Province in the PRC, since 2001.
	Acquisition of Yuchen
	On October 21, 2011, Yuantongqiao Toyota, a VIE of the Company, acquired 50% of the equity interest in Yuchen from two independent individuals (the "transferors") for total cash consideration of RMB28,500. Yuchen has operated a Toyota automobile dealership located in Wenling, Zhejiang Province in the PRC, since 2007.  In the share transfer agreement, the transferors guaranteed Yuantongqiao Toyota's irrevocable control over Yuchen.  It was also agreed that Yuchen's board of directors subsequent to the acquisition would consist of five directors, including three directors assigned by Yuantongqiao, and all board resolutions will be passed by a simple majority.  The Group, through Yuantongqiao, obtained effective control of Yuchen and accounted for this acquisition as a business combination.
	The Company completed the valuations necessary to assess the fair values of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed and the fair value of noncontrolling interests, resulting from which the amount of goodwill was determined and recognized as of the acquisition date. The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired, liabilities assumed and the noncontrolling interests as of the acquisition dates:
		Shuntong		Ruitai		Huizhou		Yuchen
						FAW-VW
		RMB		RMB		RMB		RMB

	Net assets acquired	43,000		16,000		89,000		28,500
	The valuations used in the purchase price allocation described above were determined by the Group with the assistance of an independent third-party valuation firm.  The valuation reports considered generally accepted valuation methodologies such as the income, market and cost approaches. As the acquirees were all private companies, the fair value estimates of noncontrolling interests were based on significant inputs that market participants would consider, which mainly include (a) discount rates, (b) a projected terminal values based on EBITDA, (c) financial multiples of companies in the same industries and (d) adjustments for lack of control or lack of marketability.
	The customer relationships acquired have estimated useful lives of ten years and the dealership agreements acquired have indefinite useful lives.
	The goodwill, which is not tax deductible, is primarily attributable to synergies expected to be achieved from the acquisitions. Goodwill of RMB9,620, RMB14,104, RMB34,175 and RMB15,735 acquired from Shuntong, Ruitai, Huizhou and Yuchen, respectively, was included in the FAW-Mazda, GAC-Honda, FAW-Volkswagen, and Toyota segments, respectively (Note 27).
	The Group recognized RMB400 of acquisition related costs which were included in general and administrative expenses in the year ended December 31, 2011.
	The amount of revenue and net income (loss) of the acquired businesses included in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) from the acquisition date to December 31, 2011 are summarized as follows:

	Under the current laws of the Cayman Islands, the Company is not subject to tax on income or capital gains. In addition, upon payments of dividends by the Company to its shareholders, no Cayman Islands withholding tax will be imposed.
	Hong Kong
	Lentuo Hong Kong is subject to Hong Kong corporate income tax at a rate of 16.5% on the assessable profits arising in Hong Kong. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, Lentuo Hong Kong had no provision for income taxes, as it had no assessable profits during these years.
	PRC
	Pursuant to the PRC Corporate Income Tax Law and relevant regulations (the "CIT Law"), the Company's subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs located in the PRC were generally subject to enterprise income taxes ("CIT") at a statutory rate of 25%.  The Group has minimal operations in jurisdictions outside the PRC.
	Under the CIT Law, dividends paid by PRC enterprises out of profits earned post-2007 to non-PRC tax resident investors are subject to PRC withholding tax of 10%. A lower withholding tax rate may be applied based on applicable tax treaty with certain countries.
	Moreover, the CIT Law treats enterprises established outside the PRC with "effective management and control" located in China as PRC resident enterprises for tax purposes. The term "effective management and control" is generally defined as exercising management and control over the business, personnel, accounting, properties, etc. of an enterprise. The Company, if considered a PRC resident enterprise for tax purposes, would be subject to the PRC enterprise income tax at the rate of 25% on its worldwide income commencing on January 1, 2008. As of December 31, 2013, the Company has not accrued for PRC tax on this basis as the Group's non-PRC entities had zero assessable profits for the years after January 1, 2008. The Company will continue to monitor its tax status with regard to the PRC tax resident enterprise regulation.

	As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group's total deferred tax assets before valuation allowances were RMB30,530 and RMB41,886 (US$6,919), respectively. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded valuation allowances of RMB14,150 and RMB30,502 (US$5,039), respectively, on its deferred tax assets that are sufficient to reduce the deferred tax assets to the amounts that are more-likely-than-not to be realized.
	As of December 31, 2013, the Group has net tax operating tax losses carried forward from its PRC subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs of approximately RMB127,118 (US$20,998), which will expire between 2014 and 2018.
	As of December 31, 2013, deferred tax liabilities have not been provided on RMB363,287 (US$60,011) of undistributed earnings of the Company's foreign subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs which are located in the PRC, respectively, as the Company intends to indefinitely reinvest such earnings into its subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs located in the PRC. The amount of unrecognized deferred tax liabilities for temporary differences related to investments in foreign subsidiaries is not determined because such a determination is not practicable.
	Unrecognized tax benefits
	As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded unrecognized tax benefits of RMB4,963 and RMB4,963 (US$820), respectively. The unrecognized tax benefits are related to uncertain tax positions claimed in the VIEs' years 2007, 2008 and 2009 PRC tax returns, specifically with regard to understated revenues associated with invoicing for new automobile sales and overstated costs of goods sold associated with the receipt of automobiles manufacturers' purchase rebates. No additional unrecognized tax benefit was recorded during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013.  It is possible that the amount of uncertain tax positions will change in the next 12 months, pending clarification of current tax law or audit by the tax authorities; however, an estimate of the range of the possible change cannot be made at this time. All of the uncertain tax positions, if ultimately recognized, will impact the effective tax rate.
	For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded interest expense related to its uncertain tax position of RMB906 (US$150) in each of the respective years. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, no penalty was recorded. As of December 31, 2013, the tax years from 2007 through 2013 for the Group's PRC subsidiaries and VIEs remain open for statutory examination by the PRC tax authorities.

	As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, 500,000,000 and 500,000,000 ordinary shares were authorized and 58,937,912 and 65,137,912 ordinary shares were issued and outstanding, respectively.
	In September 2013, the Company issued 6,200,000 fully-vested ordinary shares with an estimated fair value of RMB79,850 (US$13,190) to a third-party service provider for demolition services in connection with the Company's future construction and development of an auto mall  which will feature full-service 4S dealerships, car showrooms, auto service centers and parts shops in Hailin, Heilongjiang Province of the PRC. As of December 31, 2013, the Company was still in the process of acquiring the land use right from the local government for the construction of the aforementioned auto mall.  Pursuant to the agreement entered into amongst the Company, the third-party service provider and the local government, an amount of RMB75,000 (US$12,389) is contractually deductible from the consideration to be paid for the land use right if the Company successfully obtains the land use right or refundable by the local government if the Company does not successfully obtain the land use right.  In accordance with ASC subtopic 505-50 ("ASC 505-50"), Equity-Based Payments to Non-Employees, the Company recorded the fair value of the 6,200,000 ordinary shares on the date of issuance as contra-equity in receivables from issuance of ordinary shares.
	The Group has not paid or declared any dividends on ordinary shares to date. The payment of dividends in the future will be contingent upon the Group's revenues and earnings, if any, capital requirements and general financial condition subsequent to the completion of a business combination. The payment of dividends will be subject to the discretion of the Group's board of directors and subject to the requirements of Cayman Islands' laws.

STATUTORY RESERVES	12 Months Ended

STATUTORY RESERVES [Abstract]	'
STATUTORY RESERVES	'
	23.                     STATUTORY RESERVES
	The Company's ability to pay dividends is primarily dependent on the Company receiving distributions from its PRC subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs. Relevant PRC statutory laws and regulations permit payments of dividends by the Company's PRC subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs only out of their retained earnings, if any, as determined in accordance with PRC accounting standards and regulations. The results of operations reflected in the consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with US GAAP differ from those reflected in the statutory financial statements of the Company's PRC subsidiary, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs.
	In accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China on Foreign Invested Enterprises ("FIE") and the Company's articles of association, an FIE established in the PRC is required to provide for certain statutory reserves, namely the general reserve fund, enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund which are appropriated from net profit as reported in the enterprise's PRC statutory accounts. A wholly-foreign owned invested enterprise ("WFOE") is required to allocate at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit to the general reserve until such reserve has reached 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise's PRC statutory accounts. A non-wholly-owned foreign invested enterprise is permitted to provide all the above allocation of annual after-tax profit at the discretion of its board of directors, except for the general reserve fund which has the same requirement as for a WFOE. Appropriations to the enterprise expansion fund and staff welfare and bonus fund are at the discretion of the board of directors for all foreign invested enterprises. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. Lentuo Beijing, established as a WFOE, is therefore subject to the above mandated restrictions on distributable profits.
	Additionally, in accordance with the Company Law of the People's Republic of China, a domestic enterprise is required to provide for a statutory common reserve of at least 10% of its annual after-tax profit until such reserve has reached 50% of its respective registered capital based on the enterprise's PRC statutory accounts. A domestic enterprise is also required to provide for a discretionary surplus reserve, at the discretion of the board of directors, from the profits determined in accordance with the enterprise's PRC statutory accounts. The aforementioned reserves can only be used for specific purposes and are not distributable as cash dividends. The VIEs were established as domestic invested enterprises and therefore are subject to the above mandated restrictions on distributable profits.
	As a result of the PRC laws, rules and regulations that require annual appropriations of 10% of after tax income to be set aside prior to payment of dividends as a general reserve fund, the Company's PRC subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs are restricted in their ability to transfer a portion of their net assets in the form of dividend payments, loans or advances. The amounts restricted include paid-in capital and statutory reserves of the Company's PRC subsidiary and the net assets of the VIEs and their subsidiaries, as determined pursuant to PRC generally accepted accounting principles, totaling RMB1,106,498 and RMB1,350,642 (US$223,110) as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively. No dividend appropriations were made for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2013.

CONCENTRATION OF RISKS [Abstract]	'
CONCENTRATION OF RISKS	'
	24.                     CONCENTRATION OF RISKS
	Concentration of credit risk
	Financial instruments that potentially subject the Group to significant concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash and cash equivalents, advances to suppliers and amounts due from related parties. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, all of the Group's cash and cash equivalents were managed by financial institutions which management believes are of high credit quality.
	Advances to suppliers are typically unsecured and arise from deposits paid in advance for purchases of inventories from suppliers based in the PRC. As a percentage of total advances, the top six suppliers accounted for 99.5% and 91.2% as of December 31, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
		December 31,
		2012		2013
		RMB		RMB		US$
	Shanghai Volkswagen Automobile Selling Co., Ltd.	82,532		61,956		10,234
	FAW-Mazda Automobile Sales Co., Ltd.	25,327		42,129		6,959
	FAW-VW Automobile Sales Co., Ltd.	170,601		260,706		43,066
	Chang An Ford Mazda Automobile Co., Ltd.	7,137		1,309		216
	FAW-Toyota Automobile Sales Co., Ltd.	24,154		39,530		6,530
	GAC Honda Automobile Co., Ltd.	4,836		22,295		3,683
		314,587		427,925		70,688
	Total advances	316,067		468,985		77,470
	Percentage of advances to top six suppliers to total advances	99.5	%	91.2	%	91.2	%
	Due to the Group's concentration of advances made to a limited number of suppliers, any negative events or deterioration in financial strength with respect to the Group's suppliers may cause a material loss to the Group and have a material adverse effect on the Group's financial condition and results of operations. The risk with respect to advances made to suppliers is mitigated by credit evaluations that the Group performs on suppliers and ongoing monitoring processes on outstanding balances.
	In evaluating the collectability of the amounts due from related parties balance, the Group considers many factors, including the related parties' repayment history and their credit-worthiness. An allowance for doubtful accounts is made when collection of the full amount is no longer probable.
	Concentration of suppliers
	A significant portion of the Group's inventories is sourced from six largest suppliers who collectively accounted for RMB2,721,918, RMB3,168,963 and RMB2,927,155 (US$483,532) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively, of the total inventory purchases. Any disruption in the supply of inventories to the Group from these suppliers may adversely affect the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations.
	Each of the Group's dealerships operates pursuant to a franchise agreement between the applicable automobile manufacturer and the dealership.  The Group's business depends on the franchise rights awarded by automobile manufacturers. As a result of the dependence on these franchise rights, manufacturers exercise a significant level of influence over the Group's day-to-day operations and the terms of the franchise agreements govern key aspects of the Group's operations and capital spending. All of the franchise agreements are nonexclusive, free-of-charge, must be renewed periodically and typically have a term of one or two years.
	The typical automobile franchise agreement specifies the area within which the dealer has the right and obligation to sell the manufacturer's automobiles and related parts and products and to perform certain approved services. The franchise agreements, together with manufacturers' dealership manuals, service manuals and operating standards that are referenced in such franchise agreements, typically contain provisions and standards relating to the achievement of certain sales and customer satisfaction targets; inventories of new vehicles and manufacturer replacement parts; the maintenance of necessary net working capital; facilities and placement of signage; procedures for inspection, testing and evaluation by the manufacturer; advertising, marketing, deposit and warranty practices; products authorized to be offered to customers; after-sales services; data sharing regarding market trends and customer statistics; dealership management; personnel training; information systems; and dealer's monthly and annual sales and financial reporting to the manufacturer.
	The Group's compliance with these requirements is closely monitored by the automobile manufacturers.  Any failure to comply that is not cured within a specified period of time may give rise to early termination of the franchise by manufacturers. Certain franchise agreements allow the automobile manufacturer to terminate the agreement under any circumstances as long as a prior written notice is given.  In addition, each of the franchise agreements provides the automobile manufacturer with the right to refuse to renew it after the expiration of the term of the agreement under specified circumstances. If the Group fails to obtain renewals of one or more of the franchise agreements from the automobile manufacturers or if one or more of the franchise agreements are terminated, the Group's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects would be materially and adversely affected.
	Currency convertibility risk
	Substantially all of the Group's businesses are transacted in RMB, which is not freely convertible into foreign currencies.  On January 1, 1994, the PRC government abolished the dual rate system and introduced a single rate of exchange as quoted daily by the People's Bank of China.  However, the unification of the exchange rates does not imply the convertibility of RMB into US$ or other foreign currencies.  All foreign exchange transactions continue to take place either through the People's Bank of China or other banks authorized to buy and sell foreign currencies at the exchange rates quoted by the People's Bank of China.  Approval of foreign currency payments by the People's Bank of China or other institutions requires submitting a payment application form together with suppliers' invoices, shipping documents and signed contracts.  Additionally, the value of the RMB is subject to changes in central government policies and international economic and political developments affecting supply and demand in the PRC foreign exchange trading system market.
	Foreign currency exchange rate risk
	From July 21, 2005, the RMB is permitted to fluctuate within a narrow and managed band against a basket of certain foreign currencies.  The appreciation of the RMB against US$ was approximately 4.9%, 1.0% and 3.0% in the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. On June 19, 2010, the People's Bank of China announced the end of the RMB's de facto peg to US$, a policy which was instituted in late 2008 in the face of the global financial crisis, to further reform the RMB exchange rate regime and to enhance the RMB exchange rate flexibility. On March 15, 2014, the People's Bank of China announced the widening of the daily trading band for RMB against US$. While the international reaction to the appreciation of the RMB has generally been positive, there remains significant international pressure on the PRC Government to adopt an even more flexible currency policy, which could result in a further and potentially more significant appreciation of the RMB against the US$.
	Current vulnerability due to certain other concentrations
	The Company's operations may be adversely affected by significant political, economic and social uncertainties in the PRC. Although the PRC Government has been pursuing economic reform policies for almost 30 years, no assurance can be given that the PRC Government will continue to pursue such policies or that such policies may not be significantly altered, especially in the event of a change in leadership, social or political disruption or unforeseen circumstances affecting the PRC's political, economic and social conditions. There is also no guarantee that the PRC Government's pursuit of economic reforms will be consistent or effective.
	Land use rights and building ownership certification risk
	The Group has not obtained land use rights and building ownership certificates for some of the properties the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs occupy. Aotong and Shuntong each leased a parcel of land from third parties for a term of 20 years starting from July 1, 2003 and for a term of 10 years starting from September 15, 2010, respectively, and constructed the facilities for their automobile dealerships on such lands.  These parcels of land are part of larger parcels of land that are covered by a single land use right certificate and do not have a separate land use right certificate. Due to this lack of a land use right certificate and the fact that Aotong and Shuntong hold such land through leases, Aotong and Shuntong are not permitted to apply for building ownership certificates for the facilities constructed on the land and their property rights to such facilities may be limited.
	In addition, Tuozhan I&C, Yuantongqiao Toyota, Tuojiacheng, Huitong, Tongda and Ruitai have all sub-leased the respective parcels of land on which they constructed facilities to operate their current businesses.  All such land is classified as collectively-owned rural land under PRC law and was subleased from a third party who in turn leased the land from the respective rural economic collectives that own such land.  Under PRC law, collectively-owned rural land may not be used for commercial purposes unless it is converted into state-owned land and the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs may be required to move out of such collectively-owned rural land.  Under relevant lease and sublease agreements, the economic collectives who own the land are obligated to provide necessary assistance for the conversion of the land into state-owned land and to provide another comparable parcel of land for the VIEs' business and operation and compensate for losses in connection with relocation in the event the VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs are required to move out of the land.  If the land is not converted into state-owned land, the economic collectives or the third party fails to perform their obligations under the lease or sublease agreements, or the lease and sublease agreements are deemed unenforceable, the Group's business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected.

In the opinion of management, (i) the ownership structure of the Company and the VIEs are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations; (ii) the contractual arrangements with the VIEs and their shareholder are valid, binding, and enforceable and will not result in any violation of PRC laws or regulations currently in effect; and (iii) the Group's business operations are in compliance with existing PRC laws and regulations in all material respects.
	However, there are substantial uncertainties regarding the interpretation and application of current and future PRC laws and regulations. Accordingly, the Company cannot be assured that PRC regulatory authorities will not ultimately take a contrary view to its opinion. If the current ownership structure of the Group and its contractual arrangements with the VIEs are found to be in violation of any existing or future PRC laws and regulations, the Group may be required to restructure its ownership structure and operations in the PRC to comply with the changing and new PRC laws and regulations. In the opinion of management, the likelihood of loss in respect of the Group's current ownership structure or the contractual arrangements with the VIEs is remote based on current facts and circumstances.
	(c)                        Income taxes
	As of December 31, 2013, the Group recorded RMB4,963 (US$820) of unrecognized tax benefits (Note 19). The final outcome of the tax uncertainty is dependent upon various matters including tax examinations, changes in regulatory tax laws, interpretation of those tax laws or expiration of status of limitations. However, due to the uncertainties associated with the status of examinations, including the protocols of finalizing audits by the relevant tax authorities, there is a high degree of uncertainty associated with these tax uncertainties.
	(d)                       Capital commitment
	As of December 31, 2013, the Group has contracted but unpaid cost of RMB25,000 (US$4,130) for the construction of a new Audi store which is in progress.

SUMMARY_OF_SIGNIFICANT_ACCOUNT1

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policy)	12 Months Ended
	Dec. 31, 2013
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES [Abstract]	'
Principles of consolidation	'
	(a)                       Principles of consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company, its subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs for which a subsidiary of the Company is the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
	In accordance with ASC 810, net income or loss and comprehensive income or loss are attributed to the Company and noncontrolling interests based on the relative ownership interests in the subsidiary.  If a substantive profit sharing agreement exists, net income or loss and other comprehensive income or loss of a partially-owned subsidiary are attributed between the Company and noncontrolling interests based on the terms of the substantive profit sharing agreement. Losses are attributed to the noncontrolling interests even when the noncontrolling interests' basis in the partially-owned subsidiary has been reduced to zero.  Accordingly, any excess loss attributed to the noncontrolling interests is reported in consolidated financial statements as a deficit balance in the noncontrolling interests line in shareholders' equity.
	These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("US GAAP").
Use of estimates	'
	(b)                       Use of estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with US GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates and assumptions reflected in the consolidated financial statements include, but are not limited to, revenue recognition, estimation of rebates earned, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory obsolescence, useful lives of long-lived assets and intangible assets, impairment of long-lived assets and goodwill, valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, uncertain tax positions and consolidation of VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.
Foreign currency and Convenience translation	'
	(c)                        Foreign currency
	The Company has determined its functional currency to be the Chinese Renminbi ("RMB") while its subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs have determined their functional currency to be their respective local currencies based on the criteria of ASC topic 830 ("ASC 830"), Foreign Currency Matters. The Company's subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs located in the PRC have determined their functional currency to be the RMB. The Company uses the RMB as its reporting currency.
	Each entity in the Group maintains its financial records in its own functional currency. Transactions denominated in foreign currencies are measured at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are remeasured at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange gains and losses are included in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currency are remeasured using the exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
	(d)                    Convenience translation
	Amounts in United States dollars ("US$") are presented for the convenience of readers of the financial statements and the translations of RMB into US$ have been made at the exchange rate of RMB6.0537 to US$1.00 as set forth in the H.10 statistical release of the Federal Reserve Board on December 31, 2013. No representation is made that the RMB amounts could have been or could be converted into the US$ at this rate.
Fair value of financial instruments	'
	(e)                        Fair value of financial instruments
	Financial instruments include cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, certain other current assets, accounts payable, certain other current liabilities, amounts due from/to related parties, amounts due to employees, short-term loans and long-term loans. The carrying values of these financial instruments, except for long-term loans, approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities. The carrying values of the long-term loans approximate their fair values, as the loans bear interest at rates determined based on the prevailing interest rates in the market. The Company applies ASC topic 820 ("ASC 820"), Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, in measuring fair value. ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures to be provided on fair value measurement.
	ASC 820 establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:
	Level 1- Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
	Level 2- Include other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
	Level 3- Unobservable inputs which are supported by little or no market activity.
	ASC 820 describes three main approaches to measuring the fair value of assets and liabilities: (1) market approach; (2) income approach and (3) cost approach. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated from market transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. The income approach uses valuation techniques to convert future amounts to a single present value amount. The measurement is based on the value indicated by current market expectations about those future amounts. The cost approach is based on the amount that would currently be required to replace an asset.
	The Group had no financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2013.
	The following table sets forth assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2013:
			Fair value at December 31, 2012 measured using
		Carrying	Quoted	Significant	Significant	Total loss in 2012

		RMB	RMB	RMB	RMB	RMB	US$
	Intangible assets - Acquired dealership agreements	78,950	-	-	77,250	1,700	281
	The fair value of dealership agreements as of December 31, 2013 was measured using the income approach with significant inputs that are not observable in the market (Level 3), including a discount rate of 15% and a long-term sustainable growth rate of 3%.
	In accordance with ASC subtopic 350-30 ("ASC 350-30"), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other: General Intangibles Other than Goodwill, dealership agreements with a carrying amount of RMB78,950 were written down to an implied fair value of RMB77,250 (US$12,760), resulting in an impairment charge of RMB1,700 (US$281), which was included in the Company's consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2013 (Note 11).
Cash and cash equivalents	'
	(f)                         Cash and cash equivalents
	Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and time deposits placed with banks or other financial institutions with original maturity of three months or less at the date of purchase and are unrestricted as to withdrawal and use.
Accounts receivable	'
	(g)                        Accounts receivable
	Accounts receivable are carried at net realizable value. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when collection of the full amount is no longer probable based on an assessment of specific evidence including the aging of the balance, the customer's payment history, its current credit-worthiness and current economic trends. Accounts receivable are written off after all collection effort has ceased.
Inventories	'
	(h)                       Inventories
	Inventories, consisting of new automobiles, spare parts and accessories, are stated at the lower of purchased cost net of rebates or market value. Purchase cost is determined by the weighted-average method.
	The Group's purchase arrangements with certain automobile manufacturers entitle the Group to receive a specified amount of cash rebates if certain conditions are met during the stated rebate periods. The Group accounts for these rebates in accordance with ASC sub-topic 605-50 ("ASC 605-50"), Revenue Recognition: Customer Payments and Incentives. Rebates that are solely based on conditions that are fixed or can be reasonably estimated, such as volume purchase rebates, are recognized on an accrual basis based on the Group's purchase estimates. Rebates that are based on subjective factors such as customer satisfaction results or based on the discretion of the automobile manufacturer are recognized only when realized. Rebates relating to motor vehicles purchased but still held by the Group as at the balance sheet date are recorded as a reduction to cost of inventories or cost of leased automobiles held for sale while rebates relating to motor vehicles purchased and sold during the reporting period are recorded as a reduction to cost of goods sold.
Leased automobiles held for sale	'
	(i)                           Leased automobiles held for sale
	On December 23, 2010, the Beijing municipal government issued a number of new measures, which became effective immediately, aimed at curbing traffic congestion in Beijing, the PRC. Under these measures, the issuance of new license plates in Beijing is subject to an annual quota and will be implemented through a monthly lottery selection system. The legal title of automobiles cannot be transferred to customers who have not obtained a new license plate from the Beijing municipal government. To assist certain customers who are in the license plate lottery, the Group will enter into a renewable lease agreement to lease the automobile which the customer intends to purchase until such time the customer acquires a license plate. The customer makes an initial payment for the full sales price of the automobile, pays a nominal monthly fee, and will either take title to the automobile upon obtaining a license plate or return it for a refund of the then fair value of the automobile. During the period the automobile is under lease, it is classified in current assets as a leased automobile held for sale and is depreciated over the expected useful life of 10 years.
Property and equipment	'
	(j)                          Property and equipment
	Property and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the following estimated useful lives:
	Buildings	40 years
	Machinery	5 years
	Office equipment	5 years
	Motor vehicles	5 years
	Expenditures for major additions or improvement that extend the useful lives of property and equipment are capitalized as additions to the related assets. Expenditures for minor replacements, maintenance and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the assets are charged to expense when incurred. Retirement, sales and disposals of assets are recorded by removing the cost and accumulated depreciation, with any resulting gain or loss reflected in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	All direct and indirect costs that are related to the construction of property and equipment and incurred before the assets are ready for their intended use are capitalized as construction in progress. Construction in progress is transferred to specific property and equipment accounts and commences depreciation when these assets are ready for their intended use. Interest costs are capitalized if they are incurred during the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset and such costs could have been avoided if expenditures for the assets have not been made. Capitalization of interest costs commences when the activities to prepare the asset are in progress and expenditures and borrowing costs are being incurred. Interest costs are capitalized until the assets are ready for their intended use. Capitalization of interest costs is suspended during extended periods in which activities related to the acquisition or construction of the qualifying assets is interrupted. Interest expense of nil, RMB10,966, and RMB7,684 (US$1,269) was capitalized during the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Land use rights	'
	(k)                       Land use rights
	Land use rights represent amounts paid for the right to use land in the PRC and are recorded at purchase cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is provided on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective land use rights agreements, which are 50 years.
Business combinations	'
	(l)                           Business combinations
	The Company accounts for its business combinations using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC topic 805 ("ASC 805"), Business Combinations. The purchase method of accounting requires that the consideration transferred to be allocated to the assets acquired, including separately identifiable assets, and liabilities assumed by the Company based on their estimated fair values. The consideration transferred of an acquisition is measured as the aggregate of the fair values at the date of exchange of the assets given, liabilities incurred, and equity instruments issued as well as the contingent considerations and all contractual contingencies as of the acquisition date. The costs directly attributable to the acquisition are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets, liabilities, and contingent liabilities acquired or assumed are measured separately at their fair value as of the acquisition date, irrespective of the extent of any noncontrolling interests. The excess of (i) the total of cost of acquisition, fair value of the noncontrolling interests and acquisition date fair value of any previously held equity interest in the acquiree over (ii) the fair value of the identifiable net assets of the acquiree, is recorded as goodwill. If the cost of acquisition is less than the fair value of the net assets of the subsidiary acquired, the difference is recognized directly as a gain in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).
	The determination and allocation of fair values to the identifiable assets acquired, liabilities assumed and noncontrolling interests is based on various assumptions and valuation methodologies requiring considerable management judgment. The most significant variables in these valuations are discount rates, terminal values, the number of years on which to base the cash flow projections, as well as the assumptions and estimates used to determine the cash inflows and outflows. The Company determines discount rates to be used based on the risk inherent in the related activity's current business model and industry comparisons. Terminal values are based on the expected life of assets, forecasted life cycle and forecasted cash flows over that period.
Intangible assets	'
	(m)                  Intangible assets
	Intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and recorded impairment.  Intangible assets acquired in a business combination are recognized initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated economic useful lives of the intangible assets. The intangible assets as of December 31, 2013 included customer relationships with an estimated useful life of 10 years and dealership agreements with an indefinite useful life. Customer relationships are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful life while dealership agreements are not amortized.
	The Company tests dealership agreements for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment in accordance with ASC 350-30.  The impairment test for indefinite-lived intangible assets consists of comparing the carrying amount of the intangible asset to its fair value. Fair values of indefinite-lived intangible assets are determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values, as appropriate. Any excess of the carrying amount over the asset's fair value is recorded as an impairment charge.
Goodwill	'
	(n)                       Goodwill
	Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the amounts assigned to the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed of an acquired business. In accordance with ASC topic 350 ("ASC 350"), Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, recorded goodwill amounts are not amortized, but rather are tested for impairment annually or more frequently if there are indicators of impairment present. In accordance with ASC 350, the Company assigned and assessed goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level. A reporting unit is an operating segment or one level below the operating segment. As of December 31, 2012 and 2013, the Company had eleven and twelve reporting units, respectively.
	The performance of the impairment test involves a two-step test. The first step of the impairment test involves comparing the fair value of the reporting unit with its carrying amount, including goodwill. Fair value is primarily determined by computing the future discounted cash flows expected to be generated by the reporting unit. If the reporting unit's carrying value exceeds its fair value, goodwill may be impaired. If this occurs, the Company performs the second step of the goodwill impairment test to determine the amount of impairment loss. The fair value of the reporting unit is allocated to its assets and liabilities in a manner similar to a purchase price allocation in order to determine the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. If the implied goodwill fair value is less than its carrying value, the difference is recognized as an impairment loss.
	The annual goodwill impairment test is performed on December 31 of each year. In accordance with Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2011-08 ("ASU 2011-08"), Intangibles-Goodwill and Other (ASC 350), the Group has the option to first assess qualitative factors to determine whether it is necessary to perform the two-step test. If the Group believes, as a result of the qualitative assessment, that it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative impairment test is required. Otherwise, no further testing is required.
	In 2013, the Company elected to assess goodwill for impairment using the two-step test. As of December 31, 2013, the Company completed its annual impairment test on goodwill that has arisen from the business combinations during 2011. The Company determined the fair value of the reporting units using the income approach based on the discounted expected cash flows associated with the reporting unit. The discounted cash flows for the reporting units were based on six year projections. Cash flow projections were based on past experience, actual operating results, and management's best estimates about future developments as well as certain market assumptions. Cash flows after the forecast period were estimated using a terminal value calculation, which considered terminal value growth at 3%, considering the long term revenue growth for entities in a similar industry in the PRC. The discount rate of approximately 14% was derived and used in the valuations which reflect the market assessment of the risks specific to the Company and its industry and is based on its weighted average cost of capital. The resulting fair values of the reporting units were not less than the carrying values; thus, the Company was not required to complete the second step. No impairment of goodwill was recognized for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2013.
Impairment of long-lived assets	'
	(o)                       Impairment of long-lived assets
	The Group evaluates its long-lived assets, including property and equipment, land use rights and intangible assets with finite lives for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances, such as a significant adverse change to market conditions that will impact the future use of the assets, indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable in accordance with ASC subtopic 360-10 ("ASC 360-10"), Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets. When these events occur, the Group assesses the recoverability of long-lived assets by comparing the carrying amount of the assets to the expected future undiscounted cash flows resulting from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected undiscounted cash flow is less than the carrying amount of the assets, the Group recognizes an impairment loss based on the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over their fair value. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the cash flows expected to be generated by the assets, when the market prices are not readily available. No impairment of long-lived assets was recognized for any of the years presented.
Long-term investment	'
	(p)                       Long-term investment
	The Group's long-term investment consists of one cost method investment.
	In accordance with ASC subtopic 325-20 ("ASC 325-20"), Investments-Other: Cost Method Investments, for investments in an investee over which the Group does not have significant influence, the Group carries the investment at cost and only adjusts for other-than-temporary declines in fair value and distributions of earnings. The Group's management regularly evaluates the impairment of its cost method investment based on the performance and financial position of the investee as well as other evidence of estimated market values. Such evaluation includes, but is not limited to, reviewing the investee's cash position, recent financing, projected and historical financial performance, cash flow forecasts and current and future financing needs. An impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) equal to the excess of the investment's cost over its fair value at the balance sheet date of the reporting period for which the assessment is made. The fair value would then become the new cost basis of investment.

	For each of the significant sources of revenue stated below, revenue is recognized only when the following four criteria are met: (i) persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, (ii) the goods have been delivered or the services have been rendered, (iii) the price or fees are fixed or determinable, and (iv) collectability is reasonably assured.
	(i)                 Sales of automobiles
	The Group and the customer sign an agreement containing the significant terms of sales to evidence that an arrangement exists. Delivery of the automobile is evidenced by the customer's sign-off on an acceptance form upon receipt. The purchase price is fixed or determinable because it is stipulated in the signed sales agreement and no concessions such as discounts, rebates, refunds or other price changes are provided subsequently. For the vast majority of sales, the customers pay the full purchase price in cash upon delivery of the automobile. The Group conducts thorough credit checks on customers prior to extending credit to such customers. Some customers obtain loans at market terms through third-party financial institutions. The Group arranges for the customer to pick up the automobile only after the customer's loan application is approved and typically receives the full payment from the financial institutions within two weeks of the delivery date. Financial institutions bear full collection risk and there is no recourse to the Group in the event a customer defaults on the loan payments. The Group has not experienced any defaults on payments from financial institutions once a loan application has been approved. Therefore, collectability is considered reasonably assured by the Group when a customer's loan application is approved. Accordingly, revenue on automobile sales is recognized by the Group upon delivery of the automobile to the customer which coincides with when all the conditions required for revenue recognition have been met.
	(ii)              Automobile repair and maintenance services
	Revenue generated from automobile repair and maintenance services is recognized after services have been rendered and accepted by the customer. A work order detailing the services to be provided and the preliminary price estimate is signed by the end customer and service representative from the Group prior to the requested service being performed. When the service has been completed, the customer signs a settlement worksheet as evidence of acceptance of the services provided and the final fees charged for such services which signifies persuasive evidence of an arrangement and performance of services. Fees are considered fixed or determinable because no subsequent concessions such as discounts, rebates, refunds or other price changes are provided subsequent to the customer's acceptance. The majority of repair and maintenance services provided by the Group are paid in full by the customer upon delivery of the serviced automobile to the customer. The Group also accepts repair work that is paid directly by the customer's insurance company. Collectability is considered reasonably assured as the Group verifies that the service and charges are acceptable under the customer's insurance policy coverage directly with the insurance company prior to performing the work. Lastly, fees charged to suppliers for repair and maintenance services covered by supplier's warranties are based on standard rates billed to customers and insurance companies for such services. Suppliers settle fees charged for warranty-covered services on a monthly basis. Collectability is considered reasonably assured as the Group deals with only reputable insurance companies and suppliers and historically, the Group has not experienced any significant defaults for payment. Based on the above, revenue on automobile repair and maintenance services is recognized upon completion of the requested services and delivery of the serviced automobile to the customer which coincides with when all the conditions required for revenue recognition have been met.
	(iii)           Sales of leased automobiles
	In connection with the limitations on license plates issued by the Beijing municipal government, certain customers first lease their automobiles from the Group before taking title of their automobiles.  These customers are required to pay the full purchase price of the automobiles in cash as a deposit upon signing the lease agreement. The Group initially records these deposits as deferred revenue. The revenue is subsequently recognized if and when the customer receives a license plate for the automobile and elects to obtain the legal title of the automobile from the Group. Persuasive evidence of an arrangement is evidenced by the lease agreement. Delivery of the title of the automobile is evidence by the transfer of the legal title from the Group to customers. The purchase price is fixed or determinable because it is stipulated in the signed lease agreement and no concessions such as discounts, rebates, refunds or other price changes are provided subsequently. Collectability has been established as the customer has paid the full purchase price of the automobile in cash upon signing the lease agreement. Accordingly, revenue on leased automobile sales is recognized by the Group upon legal transfer of the automobile title to the customer which coincides with when all the conditions required for revenue recognition have been met.
	(iv)          Other services
	Included in other services are commission fees that third-party financial institutions pay to the Group for arranging for customers to obtain automobile insurance or financing loans from these financial institutions as well as revenues from the provision of short-term automobile leasing services. The Group is not a party to the insurance or financing contracts which are solely between the third-party financial institution and the customer. Persuasive evidence of the arrangement is documented in a contract signed by the third-party financial institutions and the Group. The commission fees are fixed and non-refundable once received. Payment of the commission fee coincides with the completion of the required service which results in the recognition of revenue. The Group had limited operations relating to automobile leasing services, which accounted for an insignificant portion of total revenues for all years presented. Revenues from the provision of automobile leasing services are recognized ratably over the lease terms, typically less than one year, in accordance with ASC 840. All leases have been accounted for as operating leases.
	In accordance with ASC sub-topic 605-45 ("ASC 605-45"), Revenue Recognition: Principal Agent Considerations, the Group acts as the principal in its automobile sales, leased automobiles sales and repair and maintenance transactions with its customers. Accordingly, the Group records revenues from automobile sales and automobile repair and maintenance services on a gross basis. In all such arrangements, the Group contracts directly with its end customers, serves as the primary obligor, and assumes inventory risk.
	The Group's automobile manufacturers provide certain incentives to the Group's customers through the Group.  As the Group has direct contact with the consumer, the Group agrees to accept, at the point of sale to the consumer, the automobile manufacturer's incentives that are tendered by the consumer. In accordance with ASC sub-topic 605-50 ("ASC 605-50"), Revenue Recognition: Customer Payments and Incentives, the Group characterizes the incentives offered to customers by manufacturers as revenue, as (i) the incentive can be tendered by a customer at any dealer for the automobile manufacturer's product; (ii) the Group receives a direct reimbursement from the automobile manufacturer based on the face amount of the incentive; (iii) terms of reimbursement to the Group for the automobile manufacturer's incentive offered to the consumer are not influenced by or negotiated in conjunction with any other incentive arrangements between the automobile manufacturer and the Group; and (iv) the Group is subject to an implied agency relationship with the automobile manufacturer in the sales incentive transaction between the automobile manufacturer and the customer.
	In accordance with the relevant tax laws in the PRC, value-added tax ("VAT") is levied on the invoiced value of sales and is payable by the purchaser. The Group is required to remit the VAT it collects to the tax authority, but may deduct the VAT it has paid on eligible purchases. The difference between the amounts collected and paid is presented as VAT recoverable or payable balance on the consolidated balance sheets. VAT amounted to RMB512,859, RMB550,090 and RMB551,244 (US$91,059) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively. The Group recognized revenues net of VAT.
	The Group is subject to business tax on the other services revenues earned in the PRC. The applicable rate of business tax is 5% of the revenue. Revenues derived from sales of automobiles, leased automobiles and automobile repair and maintenance services are not subject to business tax. Business tax for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013 was RMB2,430, RMB2,279 and RMB3,725 (US$615), respectively. The Group recognized revenues net of business tax.
Cost of goods sold	'
	(r)                          Cost of goods sold
	Cost of goods sold consists primarily of (i) purchase costs of new automobiles, net of rebates from automobile manufacturers (Note 2(h) and Note 6); (ii)  depreciation of leased automobiles held for sale (Note 2(i) and Note 7); and (iii) the net carrying amount of leased automobiles held for sale upon legal transfer of the automobile title to customers (Note 2(i) and Note 7). Cost of services consists of the cost of spare parts consumed, direct labor and materials, an allocation of indirect overhead expenses attributable to repair and maintenance services, amortization of intangible assets related to customer relationships and the 5% business tax or the 6% value-added tax for technology consulting and service fees charged by Lentuo Beijing to the VIEs. Lentuo Beijing has been subject to valued-added tax of 6% effective September 2012.
Advertising expenditures	'
	(s)                         Advertising expenditures
	Advertising expenditures are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenditures included in sales, marketing and distribution expenses amounted to RMB37,629, RMB27,764 and RMB22,846 (US$3,774) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Income taxes	'
	(t)                          Income taxes
	The Group follows the liability method of accounting for income taxes in accordance with ASC topic 740 ("ASC 740"), Income Taxes. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the difference between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates that will be in effect in the period in which the differences are expected to reverse. The Group records a valuation allowance to offset deferred tax assets if, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that some portion, or all, of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
	The Group applies ASC 740 to account for uncertainties in income taxes.  In accordance with the provisions of ASC 740, the Group recognizes in its financial statements the impact of a tax position if a tax return position or future tax position is "more-likely-than-not" to prevail based on the facts and technical merits of the position. Tax positions that meet the "more-likely-than-not" recognition threshold are measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that has a greater than fifty percent likelihood of being realized upon settlement.
	The Group's estimated liability for unrecognized tax benefits, which is included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities, is periodically assessed for adequacy and may be affected by changing interpretations of laws, rulings by tax authorities, changes and/or developments with respect to tax audits, and expiration of the statutes of limitation. The outcome for a particular audit cannot be determined with certainty prior to the conclusion of the audit and, in some cases, appeal or litigation process. The actual benefits ultimately realized may differ from the Group's estimates. As each audit is concluded, adjustments, if any, are recorded in the Group's financial statements. Additionally, in future periods, changes in facts, circumstances, and new information may require the Group to adjust the recognition and measurement estimates with regard to individual tax positions.  Changes in recognition and measurement estimates are recognized in the period in which the changes occur.
	Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are computed in accordance with the relevant PRC tax law. The amount of interest expense is computed by applying the applicable statutory rate of interest to the difference between the tax position recognized and the amount previously taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. Interest and penalties recognized in accordance with ASC 740 are classified in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income as interest expenses and other expenses, respectively.
Comprehensive income	'
	(u)                       Comprehensive income
	Comprehensive income is defined to include all changes in equity except those resulting from investments by owners and distributions to owners. Among other disclosures, ASC topic 220 ("ASC 220"), Comprehensive Income, requires that all items that are required to be recognized under current accounting standards as components of comprehensive income be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements. For each of the years presented, the Group's comprehensive income is equivalent to its net income.
	The Company applies ASU No. 2011-05 ("ASU 2011-05"), Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income, by presenting items of net income and other comprehensive income, if any, in one continuous statement, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss).
Employee benefits	'
	(v)                       Employee benefits
	Full time employees of the Company's subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs in the PRC participate in a government mandated defined contribution plan pursuant to which certain pension benefits, medical care, unemployment insurance, employee housing fund and other welfare benefits are provided to employees. Chinese labor regulations require that the Company make contributions to the government for these benefits based on a specific percentage of the employees' salaries up to a maximum of three times the average annual salary for the city in which the subsidiary operates for the prior year. The Company's subsidiaries, VIEs and subsidiaries of VIEs have no legal obligation for the benefits beyond the contributions made. The total amounts for such employee benefits, which were expensed as incurred, were RMB14,951, RMB19,169 and RMB22,309 (US$3,685) for the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, respectively.
Segment reporting	'
	(w)                 Segment reporting
	In accordance with ASC topic 280 ("ASC 280"), Segment Reporting, the Group's chief operating decision maker, who has been identified as the chief executive officer, regularly reviews the financial information and operating results of the twelve dealerships as well as the combined financial information of the seven brands when making decisions about resources allocation and assessing performance of the Group.  For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group had eleven, eleven and twelve operating segments, respectively.  Based on the Company's organizational structure of its operations, the Company aggregated certain operating segments under the same brand for reporting purposes in accordance with ASC 280.  The seven reportable segments included Audi, FAW-Volkswagen, FAW-Mazda, Toyota, Shanghai-Volkswagen, Chang An-Mazda, and GAC-Honda.
	The accounting policies used in the Group's segment reporting are the same as those used in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements. As substantially all of the Group's long-lived assets and revenues are in and derived from the PRC, geographical segments are not presented.
Earnings per share	'
	(x)                       Earnings per share
	In accordance with ASC topic 260 ("ASC 260"), Earnings Per Share, basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income attributable to ordinary shareholders as adjusted for the effect of dilutive ordinary equivalent shares, if any, by the weighted average number of ordinary and dilutive ordinary equivalent shares outstanding during the year.
Leases	'
	(y)                      Leases
	In accordance with ASC 840, leases are classified at the inception date as either a capital lease or an operating lease. For the lessee, a lease is a capital lease if any of the following conditions exist: (i) ownership is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term, (ii) there is a bargain purchase option, (iii) the lease term is at least 75% of the property's estimated remaining economic life or (iv) the present value of the minimum lease payments at the beginning of the lease term is 90% or more of the fair value of the leased property to the lessor at the inception date. A capital lease is accounted for as if there was an acquisition of an asset and an incurrence of an obligation at the inception of the lease. On June 20, 2010, Lentuo Electromechanical entered into a capital lease arrangement for a building with Huitong whereby Huitong obtained the right to use the building for the remainder of its expected useful life of 40 years for nil consideration and was granted a bargain purchase option to acquire the building at a nominal value at the end of the lease term. Accordingly, Huitong accounted for the building as a capital lease. All other leases are accounted for as operating leases wherein rental payments are expensed on a straight-line basis over their lease term. For the years ended December 31, 2011, 2012 and 2013, the Group recorded total rental expenses of RMB8,253, RMB11,859 and RMB13,029 (US$2,152), respectively, on its operating leases.
Recently issued accounting standards	'
	(z)                    Recently issued accounting standards
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU No. 2013-11 ("ASU 2013-11"),  Income Taxes(Topic 740), to provide guidance on the financial statement presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, similar tax loss, or tax credit carryforward exists.  ASU 2013-11 requires an unrecognized tax benefit, or a portion of an unrecognized tax benefit, to be presented in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward, with certain exceptions.  The modifications to ASC 740 resulting from the issuance of ASU 2013-11 are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years.  Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2013-11 to have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
