If the system reports "storage card error," we will consider it as damage or loss of the original owner's personal items, and the platform will not provide a new high-speed TF card for free; the buyer must purchase a replacement after arriving at the port.

This is one of the most common post-export surprises, so verify before buying. OTA updates: most Chinese brands push updates to cars registered on domestic servers. Many exported cars continue receiving updates normally, but some brands restrict updates by VIN region once the car leaves China. Ask the seller to confirm the update history and whether the brand officially supports your destination region. Some grey-import cars are stuck on the firmware version they left with. Companion apps: the factory app usually requires a Chinese phone number and a domestic account. After export, remote functions (preconditioning, charging status, location) often stop working or require workarounds. Some owners re-register via third-party services, but this is unofficial and can break at any time. Practical advice: before purchase, get the seller to show a screenshot of the car's current software version and connected services status. Factor in that you may lose remote features permanently, and check whether local dealers or independent shops can perform diagnostics and updates without the official app.

Interior assessment is divided into three core areas: the driver's high-frequency contact area (steering wheel, gear shift, edge of the driver's seat), central control button area, and rear seats and ceiling. The natural sheen of leather surfaces (patina) is normal; however, any physical damage (such as leather tearing, fabric burn holes, or plastic breakage) will be classified as "structural interior damage" and clearly marked.
