Old vehicle exchange and transfer typically require a 30-day cycle. Below is more information about vehicle transfer: Overview: Vehicle transfer refers to changing the name of the vehicle's owner, an essential procedure in the process of buying and selling used cars. Vehicles involved in accidents, those that have not undergone annual inspections, stolen vehicles, or smuggled vehicles cannot be transferred through normal procedures. Notes: When a vehicle is moved from one city to another, the registration process to change the jurisdiction of the vehicle management authority is called re-registration. Re-registration requires changing the license plate and vehicle registration certificate, and the procedures must be completed at two separate vehicle management authorities, involving both the transfer-out and transfer-in processes.
I've been driving for over thirty years and have gone through several car replacements. There's no strict time regulation for trading in a used car for a new one—it all depends on the policies of the dealership or 4S store. Most places require the car to have been registered under your name for at least six months to qualify for trade-in discounts, which is to prevent people from flipping cars for profit. For example, my neighbor inquired after just two months and was denied the subsidy, losing out on 5,000 yuan. It's advisable to call and clarify the 4S store's rules in advance or check new car promotion websites. Trading in not only saves money but can also exempt you from purchase tax, provided the car is in good condition with complete maintenance records to avoid a lower valuation. Additionally, timing is crucial—trading in right before a new model launch often yields better deals.
