What are the drawbacks of parallel imported vehicles?

[LeEmilia]

The drawbacks of parallel imported vehicles include: 1. Lack of manufacturer warranty, as parallel imported vehicles are not authorized by the manufacturer, so the manufacturer naturally does not provide warranty services for these vehicles; 2. Potential 'incompatibility' issues, for example, the Middle East version of the Toyota Hilux is produced according to the environmental conditions and policies of the Middle East, but after being introduced to China, it may not adapt well to China's fuel quality, road conditions, policies, etc.; 3. Some models cannot be registered immediately. Parallel imported vehicles enter China in the form of 'large-scale trade,' and some models cannot be imported this way because they do not meet national requirements. However, they can be imported through 'small-scale trade,' which utilizes a policy allowing employees of foreign enterprises to bring their personal vehicles to China and transfer ownership after one year. Therefore, small-scale trade vehicles cannot be registered immediately.
