A brand new 2020 Chery eQ1 (Little Ant) has just arrived at our dealership. It features an all-aluminum body, a range of 305km (outstanding performance), fast and slow charging, keyless start, a large-screen navigation system, a reversing camera, tire pressure monitoring, leather and fabric dual-tone seats, and is in perfect original condition with no accidents. The interior is virtually undamaged. It's a one-owner vehicle owned by a beautiful woman. Act fast!
This is considered a force majeure risk. We will require the vehicle's state of charge (SOC) to be maintained in a safe dormant range of 30%-50% before loading, and we will insure you for all marine risks under CIF terms. If the battery suffers thermal runaway total loss due to abnormal cargo hold temperatures, the insurance company will compensate.
Maintain objective expectations. Vehicles over 5 years old inevitably show signs of decreased paint gloss, slight aging of rubber seals, irreversible patina on interiors, and surface rust on chassis components. As long as core structure and mechanical failures are not involved, these are normal depreciation characteristics over time.
This is a typical case of "secondary damage caused by unprofessional rescue." Many hybrid vehicles require access to "maintenance mode" via engineering computers to allow the water pump to run at full speed for exhaust. We do not bear any moral or financial responsibility for cylinder damage caused by local technicians' misoperation.
