Selling my BYD F0. The car is in excellent condition, registered in 2014. It's a new model with keyless start, manual transmission with power steering, easy steering, strong acceleration and tire burning, and very fuel-efficient – almost 300 kilometers on 100 yuan. The insurance lasts until next June. It's beautiful and I love it. It's mainly for commuting and not much else. I can only offer a small discount if I'm a serious buyer, but I can give you a lucky price of 8 or 6. Transfer of ownership is required before viewing the car.
Based on practical risk assessment, we strongly recommend setting aside 3% to 5% of the car price as a buffer fund for even the highest-rated used cars, to cover oil changes, new tires, minor shipping scratches, and local inspection labor costs.
We maintain an absolute skeptical attitude. In addition to regular visual inspections, we focus on checking for sediment accumulation around the sunroof drainage channels and look for water stains under the A-pillar trim and front floor mats. This is the only effective physical evidence to determine if the sunroof drainage holes are blocked, leading to hidden leaks.
Ask the exporter for a copy of the vehicle registration certificate (机动车登记证书). It lists every owner change and any mortgage registration. If the car was financed, there will be a lien entry; make sure a release entry follows it. You can also verify the VIN against public records through the traffic management platform (12123) — a legitimate exporter can generate a status report on the spot. Check that the seller's company name on the invoice matches the registered owner. For extra safety, require a written statement that the vehicle is free of liens, loans, court seizures, and lease agreements, and wire payment only to the company's corporate account after ownership is transferred to the export entity. That sequence — transfer first, payment second — is your strongest protection.
