What are the differences between imported cars and domestically produced cars?

[JaxonFitz]

Here are the main differences between imported cars and domestically produced cars: 1. Price: Domestically produced cars are relatively cheaper; followed by parallel imported cars; the most expensive are regular imported cars. 2. Models: Parallel imported cars usually offer models that are not available for domestically produced or regular imported cars. Depending on the import region, they can be categorized as "U.S. specification cars," "European specification cars," etc. 3. After-sales service: Domestically produced cars provide worry-free maintenance service networks, future repair costs, and parts supply; followed by regular imported cars, which, although covered by 4S store warranties, have expensive parts prices and issues with parts supply; the worst are parallel imported cars, which do not come with a three-guarantee policy, requiring owners to purchase insurance themselves, and many 4S stores refuse to service them. 4. Quality and configuration: Parallel imported cars and regular imported cars are more comprehensively equipped; domestically produced cars may have reduced configurations to cater to local tastes and control costs.
