A professional pre-shipment inspection typically costs a small fraction of the vehicle price and routinely pays for itself. A thorough inspection covers: paint thickness measurement across 30+ points to map body repairs; structural assessment of pillars, rails and crossmembers for accident damage; engine and transmission operation; a full electronic scan for fault codes; suspension and underbody checks for leaks and rust; and, for EVs, battery SOH and thermal management performance. You receive a written report with photos before the car is loaded — if the car fails, you can stop the shipment or renegotiate. Skipping the inspection to save a small fee is the classic false economy in used car importing: discovering a problem after arrival is far more expensive than preventing it at origin.

To ensure the legal rights of both parties, the "International Used Car Sales Contract" we signed is in both Chinese and English. Generally, the contract is governed by Chinese law. All liabilities for breach of contract and force majeure clauses will be clearly defined in the contract.

We repeatedly confirm and emphasize to buyers before sale: after leaving mainland China, most Chinese smart electric vehicle ecosystems (such as cloud voice assistants, online maps, OTA updates) will be permanently offline. You are purchasing a hardware platform with excellent mechanical quality and a three-electric system; please use it as a "standalone" vehicle. Do not trust false promises from other channels claiming "perfect overseas unlocking and continuous official OTA updates."
