Vehicle in good condition; 0 claims; 0 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 2 years old, with a relatively short usage period and an average annual mileage of 11,900 kilometers. It has a low daily usage frequency and has never been transferred to another owner, making it a good one-owner vehicle. The overall exterior condition is good, with undamaged glass. One or two metal body panels have been repainted, but there has been no disassembly or replacement of any parts. The steering wheel and buttons show no wear, and the interior and seats are clean and new, with no unpleasant odors. All features and functions are in good working order. The vehicle frame is undamaged and has not undergone any repairs. The powertrain is functioning well without any maintenance. There have been no major modifications.
Absolutely not. Exporting used cars requires clear proof of foreign currency receipts in USD/EUR (water bill) to be provided to the Chinese foreign exchange administration, customs, and tax authorities for document verification. Cryptocurrencies are considered illegal settlement channels.
Start by asking the seller for a photo of the full vehicle registration certificate. Check that the registered owner matches the seller's company name. Any change of ownership should appear with a transfer stamp and date. Second, request a lien check. In China, vehicle mortgages are registered with the vehicle management office. A clean certificate shows no mortgage registration; if one exists, the car cannot be legally exported until the loan is settled and the lien released. Third, verify there are no unpaid traffic fines and no gaps in compulsory insurance, since these can block export clearance. Ask the platform to include a title verification step in the transaction flow, and only pay the balance after the title transfer to the export company is confirmed.
Plan for roughly 25-40% on top of the vehicle price. The main items are: 1. Pre-purchase: deposit (10-30%), third-party inspection fee (100-300 USD). 2. In China: inland trucking to the port, export declaration fees. 3. Shipping: ocean freight (container 20ft usually 1,500-4,000 USD depending on destination), marine insurance (about 0.3-0.5% of car value). 4. In your country: customs duty, VAT/GST, port handling and storage, customs broker, quarantine or pre-shipment inspection if required, registration and plates. Always ask the exporter for an itemized landed-cost estimate for your specific port before paying the deposit, and confirm which Incoterm the quote is based on (FOB, CIF or DDP makes a big difference).
