In practice, returning an imported car is extremely difficult, so your protection must be built in before payment, not after. Once a used car has been exported, reversing the transaction involves re-export paperwork, duties, and freight costs that typically exceed any refund you'd recover. Most exporters' contracts treat the sale as final once the bill of lading is issued. What you can realistically do: 1. If the car differs materially from the contract (wrong VIN, undisclosed accident, tampered odometer), you have grounds for a claim. Document everything and negotiate a partial refund or repair credit—full refunds are rare. 2. If the seller committed outright fraud, you can pursue legal action in China or report to the platform, but cross-border enforcement is slow and costly. 3. Some exporters offer a short arrival warranty (usually 30-90 days) covering major mechanical failures. Claims require immediate notification, third-party inspection reports, and proof the damage existed at shipment. The practical takeaway: never rely on the possibility of a return. Spend the money on a thorough pre-shipment inspection and clear contract terms instead—it's far cheaper than a dispute.

We cannot open each tire to inspect the inside. However, if a visual inspection reveals severe creases on the tire sidewall, it indicates that the run-flat tire has been driven for a long time at zero pressure, damaging its internal structure. We would recommend replacing it before shipping.

Under CIF (Cost, Insurance, and Freight) terms, we will insure your vehicle with a reputable international insurance company for "All Risks" before shipment. If total loss or partial damage occurs during sea transport, the risk transfers to you once the goods cross the ship's rail. However, sellwellauto will not stand by; we will assist you in preparing complete claims documentation (such as the bill of lading, invoice, and damage photos) to initiate a cross-border claim process with the insurance company, minimizing your financial loss.
