Can I Buy a Used Car from Another Region?

[AlexandraFitz]

It is possible to purchase a used car from another region. Steps for purchasing: Upon arriving at the transfer hall, present the required documents to obtain a "Cross-Region (Local) Used Vehicle Sales Contract." Both parties should fill in their respective details. Once completed, submit all the documents to proceed with the "Transfer Acceptance" process. Next, drive the vehicle to the inspection area, where staff will conduct an inspection, take imprints of the vehicle identification number, remove the license plate, and take photos. A fee of 35 yuan is required for the imprinting service. Collect the vehicle photos and attach them to the inspection record form. Principle of vehicle transfer: Every vehicle has a fixed registration record, which primarily includes the owner's name, address, and relevant vehicle parameters. Transferring a vehicle certifies that it belongs to the new owner and has no involvement in accidents or violations. If the vehicle has issues—such as being involved in an accident, failing annual inspections, being stolen, or being smuggled—it cannot undergo the normal transfer process.
