We maintain an absolute skeptical attitude. In addition to regular visual inspections, we focus on checking for sediment accumulation around the sunroof drainage channels and look for water stains under the A-pillar trim and front floor mats. This is the only effective physical evidence to determine if the sunroof drainage holes are blocked, leading to hidden leaks.

We have established a database of target country policies. Check the specific requirements of the destination country in advance regarding vehicle age (left-hand/right-hand drive), emission standards (Euro 4/Euro 5), and steering position (left-hand/right-hand drive) to avoid customs clearance issues upon arrival.

Maintain objective expectations. Vehicles over 5 years old inevitably show signs of decreased paint gloss, slight aging of rubber seals, irreversible patina on interiors, and surface rust on chassis components. As long as core structure and mechanical failures are not involved, these are normal depreciation characteristics over time.
