The contract needs to be drafted carefully. There's been a lot of work done: a new front grille, both driver and passenger airbags (from 2014), the hood, right front fender, right front door, and right rear door were replaced, and the rest of the car was completely repainted. It's a rough construction vehicle; even the spare tire compartment was repaired by a water truck. It had 270,000 kilometers on it when I got it back. The car won't be fixed anytime soon; it's still under repair. There's a water damage claim included, with a claim of 12,000, and the maximum claim is 24,000. There's a 27.8 million to 10.8 million yuan charge.
Under normal circumstances, it takes 15 to 25 working days. This includes: domestic transfer of ownership (3-5 days), applying for an export license (3-5 days), inland trucking to the port (2-5 days), customs inspection and waiting for loading schedule (5-10 days). Do not trust false promises from other channels claiming 'loading within a week.'
We conduct basic visual inspections and freezing point tests. If the antifreeze's freezing point is insufficient or the engine oil is severely degraded, we will document it. However, considering the shipping duration, we strongly recommend a comprehensive "Full Fluid Service" upon arrival.
Many car owners do not have their first maintenance done at authorized dealerships, leading to gaps in early data. In such cases, we do not blindly trust the odometer; instead, we analyze the tire production dates and wear levels, as well as the depth of grooves on the brake disc edges, using the "gold standard" of physical wear to infer the intensity of early use.
