Regulations on Refund and Triple Compensation for Used Cars?

[EdenMarie]

According to Article 55 of the 'Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law of the People's Republic of China': If a business operator commits fraud in providing goods or services, they shall, at the request of the consumer, increase the compensation for the losses suffered by the consumer. The increased compensation amount shall be three times the price of the goods purchased or the cost of the services received by the consumer. Additional information: 1. According to Articles 17 and 22 of the 'Used Car Circulation Management Measures', the seller of a used car shall provide the buyer with truthful information about the vehicle's usage, repairs, accidents, inspections, and whether mortgage registration, tax payments, or scrapping procedures have been completed. 2. Legal documents for the vehicle: 'Motor Vehicle Registration Certificate', 'Motor Vehicle Driving License', valid motor vehicle safety inspection certificate, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee payment receipt, vehicle and vessel usage tax payment receipt, and vehicle insurance policy.

I've been researching the used car market lately because my friend bought a used SUV. The seller claimed the car was in perfect condition, but within days of driving it, he discovered it was a refurbished accident vehicle, costing over ten thousand yuan in repairs. Later, he filed a complaint through the Consumer Association and went through the 'refund plus triple compensation' process, which meant returning the car and receiving three times the purchase price as compensation. This regulation is stipulated in the Consumer Protection Law, primarily targeting fraudulent behaviors, such as sellers deliberately concealing major defects in the car. Buyers can then apply for this compensation. I think it's essential to be extra cautious when buying a car, spending some money on professional inspections, and keeping the purchase contract and chat records. This can save a lot of trouble. It's also better to choose reputable platforms or dealerships when selecting a car, not just focusing on low prices. Additionally, even if you end up with a problematic car, don't be afraid to assert your rights. Both the Consumer Association and the courts support consumers.

My child is preparing to get a driver's license, and we plan to buy a used car for commuting, but we're worried about being scammed. I know about the 'refund and triple compensation' rule, which means if the seller deceives you, such as hiding the vehicle's flood or accident history, you can return the car and receive three times the purchase price as compensation. This is a legal safeguard to prevent us from suffering losses. When buying a car, I usually bring a neighbor who knows about cars to inspect the chassis and engine carefully, and I read every line of the contract before signing. Safety is the top priority; if there's a problem, gather evidence and file a complaint immediately—don't wait.

I once bought a used car and had no recourse when I got a bad deal. Now, with the 'refund plus triple compensation' rule, if the seller commits fraud—such as odometer tampering or dishonesty—the consumer can return the car and receive triple the compensation. It's straightforward. I believe being honest in transactions is the way to go; the law will support the good guys.
