Body components (structural/reinforcing/panels) have accident-type damage; passive safety devices are defective; vehicle performance (including battery, motor, and electronic control systems) is degraded or remains performance-limited after repair.
Accident inspection: main structure damaged, reinforcing parts undamaged, panels undamaged, hinges normal. Battery/motor/electronic control systems: normal. Engine bay: key mechanical components normal. Exterior: 3 sheet metal repairs, 1 paint repair. Interior: most features normal, airbags normal, seatbelts normal, dashboard normal, instrument readings normal, lighting system normal. Startup test: main components normal. Onboard tools: none.
Obtaining precise internal resistance at different SOC levels requires disassembling the battery pack and connecting it to a professional charge-discharge cabinet for several days of cycling tests. This is beyond the scope of non-destructive used car inspections; we only provide real-time estimated internal resistance data based on OBD port readings.
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).
Chinese customs strictly prohibits the export of assembled or cut vehicles that meet mandatory scrapping standards. Since our pre-inspection is very strict, this situation is highly unlikely. However, if the vehicle is detained and returned by customs due to a policy misjudgment, we will fully refund your deposit without interest, ensuring you bear no policy risk.
