The process for transferring the registration of a used car involves the following steps: The buying and selling process of a used car can generally be divided into 5 steps: confirming the purchase vehicle (vehicle inspection) → used car evaluation (vehicle evaluation report) → transaction (issuing invoice) → transfer of ownership → insurance transfer (tax and fee changes). To transfer the registration of a used car, you need to go to the vehicle management office in the original vehicle's registered location to complete the transfer procedures. At the vehicle management office, first remove the license plate - inspect the vehicle - pay fees - the transfer applicant signs, and then wait for the temporary license plate. The vehicle's original file is placed in a bag by the original vehicle management office, sealed with a strip, and stamped with the office's seal. It is not allowed to be opened privately during the transfer. Some vehicle management offices may take a few days to provide the file bag, while others may provide it immediately. Therefore, it is essential to clarify this when completing the transfer procedures to avoid unnecessary trouble. The car purchase process and precautions include: First, obtain an objective and comprehensive understanding of the car body. The most direct and reliable information comes from the evaluations of car owners, rather than blindly trusting media and manufacturer advertisements. The main methods for inspection and selection are from the outside to the inside. Check the exterior for any flaws; ensure the gaps on the hood and doors are even, as these cannot be repaired or altered later. Check if the doors and windows open and close smoothly and if the internal control buttons are responsive, reliable, and effective. Start the car while stationary. Pay attention to the ignition time, especially when comparing multiple cars, as the second start will be a "warm" start. After the idle speed stabilizes, listen for any unusual noises from the engine. Press the clutch and listen for changes in the engine sound. Increase the engine speed to 3000 RPM and listen again. Test the audio system and lighting system (including low beam, high beam, width indicator lights, front and rear fog lights, brake lights, turn signals, hazard lights, dashboard lights, reading lights, and trunk lights). Adjust the air conditioning system. Test the windshield wipers and front windshield cleaning system. Check for power steering—turn the steering wheel (at least 180 degrees) both with the engine on and off to feel the difference in effort. Test the brake assist—after turning off the engine, press the brake pedal 3-5 times. If the pedal travel decreases with each press, the assist system is normal; otherwise, there may be an issue. Note that new car brakes are usually soft before breaking in. Before driving, press the brakes several times in a safe area to get a feel for them, otherwise, accidents may occur. Conduct a test drive if possible. Check the included tools.
