Does not deregistering an old car affect a new car?

Not deregistering an old car does affect a new car. Here is some relevant information about automobiles: 1. Definition of an automobile: According to the latest national standard in China, "Terms and Definitions of Automobiles and Trailers" (GB/T3730.1—2001), an automobile is defined as a non-track vehicle powered by an engine, with four or more wheels, mainly used for transporting people and/or goods; towing vehicles for transporting people and/or goods; or for special purposes. 2. Introduction to domestic automobile brands: Domestic automobile brands include Hongqi, Changan, Great Wall, Chery, Geely, Roewe, BYD, etc.

Last time I changed cars, I suffered a loss because I didn't deregister the old scrapped vehicle in time. When I went to register the new car, the DMV said my vehicle quota was full, and the process got stuck. I had to rush to cancel the old car's records, which took a lot of effort and cost me a few hundred yuan in fines. This really affects new car registration because the system shows the old car wasn't deregistered, occupying the quota. I suggest handling the old car's deregistration before buying a new one to avoid delays and wasted money. Also, insurance needs to be rearranged—if the old car isn't deregistered, the insurer might not renew coverage for the new car. The process is simple: just bring the relevant documents to the DMV to get it done.

Vehicle management is governed by clear regulations. Failure to deregister an old vehicle means the registration remains incomplete, resulting in an abnormal status in the system, which can affect the new car purchase process. For instance, I've encountered cases where a customer couldn't register a new car because their old vehicle wasn't deregistered, occupying the quota and potentially triggering fines. It's best to deregister the old vehicle to free up resources and avoid unnecessary complications. The process isn't difficult—typically, the DMV requires submitting an ID card and vehicle license for deregistration, saving money, time, and ensuring compliance.

My friend recently bought a new car but didn’t complete the deregistration process after selling his old one. As a result, the DMV system still showed the old car under his name, leading to the rejection of his new car’s registration. It took several days to handle the deregistration, plus extra taxes. This definitely caused issues—better not delay and complete deregistration early for peace of mind.
