A license plate change is required. Article 12 of the "Regulations on the Registration of Motor Vehicles" stipulates that when a vehicle management office handles the modification registration of a motor vehicle, if the motor vehicle license plate number needs to be changed, the license plate and vehicle registration certificate shall be reclaimed, a new motor vehicle license plate number shall be determined, and the license plate, vehicle registration certificate, and inspection compliance mark shall be reissued. Article 13 states that if the domicile of the motor vehicle owner moves out of the jurisdiction area of the vehicle management office, the vehicle management office shall, within three days from the date of acceptance, annotate the modification items on the motor vehicle registration certificate, reclaim the license plate and vehicle registration certificate, issue a temporary vehicle license plate valid for thirty days, and hand over the motor vehicle file to the motor vehicle owner. The motor vehicle owner shall apply for the transfer of the motor vehicle to the vehicle management office at the domicile within the validity period of the temporary vehicle license plate. The documents required from the original owner for a used car transfer include: the registration certificate, vehicle registration certificate, and ID card, among others. The buyer needs to provide an ID card, and if they are from another region, a residence permit or temporary residence permit is required. Vehicle transfer first requires a vehicle evaluation. The evaluation fee is generally 1%-2% of the evaluated vehicle price, and other fees include those for the license plate, vehicle registration certificate, etc. The original commercial insurance of the vehicle can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions for purchasing used cars: Incomplete procedures. Complete procedures for a used car include: the vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), vehicle registration certificate, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee procedures, and compulsory insurance, etc. If the vehicle registration certificate or vehicle registration certificate is missing, or if there are arrears in compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, it will bring endless trouble to the buyer. Therefore, when purchasing a car, if the seller cannot provide complete procedures, consumers should be particularly vigilant. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers like to judge the condition of a car based on the odometer, and sellers often take advantage of this psychology to tamper with the odometer. In fact, the odometer is not only an indicator of usage intensity but also a recorder of the maintenance and replacement of other vehicle components. If the buyer performs maintenance based on the tampered odometer display, it will bring a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering external injuries. When consumers choose a used car, if the used car has been repainted and there are repair marks around the front face, rear, and A, B, and C pillars, the car is very likely to have been involved in a major traffic accident. Tuning the engine to raise the price. Many consumers often pay too much attention to the heart of the car when buying a car and neglect the health of the car body. Used car sellers take advantage of this psychology of consumers by replacing engine parts to make the vehicle's heart appear younger, thereby raising the price.
