What are the differences between domestically produced and imported cars?
1 Answers
The differences between domestically produced and imported cars are as follows: 1. Firstly, imported cars are divided into two types: regular imported cars and parallel imported cars. Simply put, regular imported cars are those purchased through 4S stores, while parallel imported cars are those directly imported from the product's country of origin by importers other than the domestic general distributor. 2. In terms of price: domestically produced cars are the cheapest; followed by parallel imported cars; the most expensive are regular imported cars. This is because parallel imported cars can bypass the general distributor, eliminating middlemen, which naturally lowers the price significantly. 3. In terms of models: through parallel imports, you can purchase models that are not available as domestically produced or regular imported cars. Additionally, depending on the import region, they are further classified into "U.S. specification cars," "European specification cars," etc. 4. In terms of subsequent car usage and after-sales services, domestically produced cars are the most convenient and worry-free; followed by regular imported cars; the worst are parallel imported cars. Parallel imported cars do not come with a warranty, requiring owners to purchase insurance themselves, and many 4S stores do not provide maintenance services for them.
