Do 4S stores buy used cars?

Some 4S stores can recycle used cars. Here is some relevant information about 4S stores recycling used cars: 1. Description: Some 4S stores have the business of used car recycling. In addition to the traditional main businesses of new car sales and maintenance, used cars are actually an important profit-making business for many 4S stores. After refurbishing the used cars they have recycled or taken in trade, 4S stores sell them to used car dealers or individuals, which also generates profit. 2. Notes: When selling an old car to a 4S store, the transfer of ownership is temporarily not processed; it is only completed when the vehicle is actually sold to a buyer. However, some 4S stores offer services similar to "full-price direct sales," where the 4S store evaluates and inspects the old car, negotiates a suitable price with the seller, and then directly purchases the car at full price, providing transfer services. The ownership is usually transferred to the 4S store or an employee.
A couple of days ago, I just sent my old car to the 4S shop for a new car replacement, and the whole process was quite hassle-free. Of course, 4S shops accept used cars, mainly for the replacement business, allowing you to sell your old car while directly purchasing a new one from them. They have specialized appraisers who carefully inspect the car's condition and provide an on-the-spot quote. However, I compared and found that selling directly to used car dealers might fetch a higher price. But the advantage of 4S shops is their standardized process, handling all the paperwork for you, and they even gave me an extra 3,000 yuan replacement subsidy. If your car's maintenance records are all with them, you might get a bit more money. It's recommended to clean your car inside and out before going and have the vehicle license ready, so you can negotiate the price with more confidence.
