Do Imported Cars Have Certificates of Compliance?
1 Answers
Imported vehicles come with an engine certificate of compliance. The certificate for imported cars, similar to standard certificates, includes a serial number and a barcode or QR code for scanning. Below are considerations when purchasing an imported vehicle: 1. Pay attention to the vehicle's origin when purchasing: Many vehicles are assembled in third countries, and apart from their appearance, their performance and quality cannot be guaranteed, nor do they come with the manufacturer's warranty. Therefore, it is advisable to purchase imported cars from domestic agents designated by the foreign automobile manufacturers. 2. Be mindful of the purchase procedures and pricing: Before buying, ensure all purchase procedures are complete to avoid unnecessary hassles during the vehicle's use. Additionally, verify whether the price includes the costs for purchase procedures and additional fees like the vehicle purchase tax to prevent unexpected expenses. 3. Be extra meticulous when selecting a car: Imported vehicles often undergo long-distance transportation before reaching the buyer. Thus, it's crucial to thoroughly inspect all attachments and onboard tools for completeness, check if all parts are sealed, and look for any signs of oil, gas, water, or electrical leaks. Special attention should be paid to the vehicle's mileage; typically, new cars should have less than 200 kilometers, and under no circumstances should it exceed 1,000 kilometers.
