What are the drawbacks of parallel-imported vehicles?

[MacNolan]

The drawbacks of parallel-imported vehicles are: 1. They cannot enjoy manufacturer warranties; 2. They may not be compatible with domestic fuel quality and road conditions; 3. Some models cannot be registered immediately. Parallel-imported vehicles enter China through general trade, but certain models that do not meet national requirements cannot be imported this way and must use small-scale trade channels. The advantages of parallel-imported vehicles are: they are cheaper than China-spec models, offer more configuration options, and provide access to special models. Although parallel-imported vehicles lack manufacturer warranties, Chinese laws require dealers handling such imports to provide the standard three-guarantee services to protect consumer rights. Therefore, properly documented parallel-imported vehicles from legitimate dealers are still relatively reliable.
