Odometer rollback happens everywhere, so never trust the dashboard number alone. Cross-check at least three sources: 1. Maintenance records: Chinese 4S dealerships keep service logs tied to the VIN. Ask the exporter for screenshots showing recorded mileage at each visit — the numbers should rise consistently. 2. Inspection reports: China requires periodic emissions/safety inspections, and the mileage is logged at each one. The exporter can pull the car's inspection history. 3. Tire and wear clues: Compare the claimed mileage with brake pedal rubber, steering wheel shine, seat bolster wear, and the tire production dates. A car showing 30,000 km with a polished steering wheel and second set of tires is suspicious. Also check the dashboard for uneven digits or scratches around the odometer area in photos. If maintenance and inspection records roughly agree, the reading is usually trustworthy; if the seller refuses to share records, treat the mileage as unknown and negotiate accordingly.

Do not use a high-pressure water gun directly! The high-pressure water can instantly damage the fragile aluminum fins of the condenser, leading to a permanent decrease in cooling efficiency. We can only use a low-pressure air gun or a soft brush for surface cleaning.

It depends on the situation. If the video inspection reveals significant mechanical faults or structural damage not disclosed in the inspection report, the deposit will be refunded 100% unconditionally; however, if the buyer defaults for subjective reasons (such as suddenly not liking the color or financial issues), the deposit will be retained as compensation for taking the vehicle off the market.
