What are the procedures for purchasing parallel imported vehicles?
1 Answers
Purchasing a parallel imported vehicle requires customs clearance documents, the vehicle inspection report, and 3C certification. Below are the specific advantages of parallel imported vehicles: 1. Price Advantage: Parallel imported vehicles eliminate many intermediate steps. Moreover, parallel import dealers are not restricted by manufacturers in pricing, offering greater flexibility, which results in significant price discounts. Typically, parallel imported vehicles are 10%~20% cheaper than their China-spec counterparts. 2. Model and Delivery Time Advantage: When new vehicles are launched overseas, they may not be immediately available in China due to manufacturers' strategic planning or domestic certification processes. However, parallel imported vehicles can be freely sourced from overseas and shipped to China for sale, significantly reducing the waiting time for new models. 3. More Diverse Configurations: Buyers can access overseas models not available in China. To align with the Chinese market positioning strategy, manufacturers often make certain adjustments or modifications when importing overseas models into China.
