The exterior paint is well-maintained; the body structure shows no signs of repair or major accidents. The interior is clean and tidy. Safety indicator lights are normal; passive safety features such as airbags are in good working order; all electronic components are functioning properly; and both static and dynamic equipment are complete. Driving the vehicle is smooth and efficient, with no issues with ignition, starting, acceleration, cornering, deceleration, or braking. Acceleration is rapid, and power output is smooth and comfortable, with no idling vibration. Overall, the vehicle's condition is fair. The body frame structure shows no deformation or twisting, and there are no signs of fire or water damage. There are signs of repainting, but the overall paint is in good condition, ruling out major accidents. It offers good visibility, a spacious, bright, and well-ventilated interior, making it suitable for family use.
Be sure to purchase cargo insurance (all-risk or water damage insurance). In case of damage, claim with the bill of lading, insurance policy, and proof of damage at the destination port.
Many connected features are tied to the car's original market. Start with the basics: the infotainment language, navigation maps and voice assistant may only support Chinese, and some systems require a local SIM or account that cannot be transferred to overseas owners. For driver-assistance systems, check whether the model relies on hardware that works without Chinese map data. Lane keeping and adaptive cruise usually work abroad, but map-dependent features like highway pilot may not. Ask the seller to test each key function on video before shipment: boot-up, touchscreen response, app connectivity and over-the-air update status. Also confirm the battery management system and motor controllers have no region locks. Get written confirmation that the features you are paying for are functional in your destination country, and keep that document with the purchase contract.
No, it does not. International shipping (especially RoRo) usually takes 30 to 60 days, during which the vehicle is stationary. A dead 12V battery, natural tire pressure loss, and even wiper aging due to temperature differences are all reasonable physical wear during long-distance transport. We strongly recommend that overseas buyers bring a portable jump starter and an air pump when picking up their vehicles at the port.
