It rarely happens, but there is a clear mechanism. If the transaction is canceled due to our reasons (such as the vehicle being suddenly seized by judicial authorities during the transfer), we will refund the full deposit you have paid and provide additional compensation according to the penalty clauses in the contract.

Heavy-use vehicles often look clean in photos but show specific wear patterns. Here's what to check: 1. Rear sag and suspension: ask for a side-profile photo of the car on level ground. If the rear sits noticeably lower than the front, the rear springs or shocks may be worn from constant heavy loads. Compare with factory ride height specs. 2. Pedal and seat wear: accelerator and brake pedals with polished metal patches, and a driver's seat bolster that is flattened or cracked, indicate high mileage or intensive commercial use — even if the odometer says otherwise. 3. Hitch and tow bar marks: check the rear bumper area in close-up photos for scratches, bolt holes, or a removed tow bar mount. Ask the seller directly whether the car ever towed. 4. Underbody and frame: request underbody photos. Look for bent or scraped crossmembers, fresh undercoating hiding damage, or uneven tire wear across the rear axle. 5. Data check: many ride-hailing cars in China have records in maintenance databases — a professional inspection agency can flag cars with commercial fleet history. If the seller refuses underbody or close-up photos, treat it as a warning sign and consider another vehicle.

Absolutely. Even if you clear customs through gray channels, local commercial insurance companies will refuse to cover third-party liability insurance due to the vehicle not complying with national traffic laws; additionally, the vehicle will definitely fail the annual safety inspection at the local DMV.
