How to Conduct Cross-Region Used Car Transactions?
2 Answers
Issue a nationally unified used car transaction invoice. A file transfer fee will be charged during the file transfer process, with prices varying by location. In such cases, you can first cancel the insurance and then purchase temporary insurance. After passing the review, you can proceed with the registration. Go to the vehicle management office for vehicle inspection, license plate application, and obtaining a new motor vehicle license.
Last time I bought a used car from another city, it felt quite a hassle but was worth it. I found the car I liked on Xianyu, but it was located in another city. So, I asked the seller to send detailed videos and photos of the car's condition. Since I couldn't go there myself, I had a local friend who knows about cars inspect the engine, chassis, etc., in person to confirm there were no accidents before negotiating the price. For payment, I used a third-party platform to avoid risks, and then went through the transfer procedures, which required visits to the vehicle management offices in both cities. Remember to bring copies of the original owner's ID card and vehicle license. For transportation, I chose a professional logistics company, which cost some shipping fees but ensured safety. The key is not to be greedy for cheap deals—if a car from another city is too cheap, there must be something fishy. Check the maintenance records before buying. The whole process took two weeks, and in the end, I was happy to get the car but learned a lot of lessons.
