1 Answers
According to Article 55, Paragraph 1 of the Law of the People's Republic of China on the Protection of Consumer Rights and Interests, concealing the true condition of a vehicle during the sales process constitutes sales fraud, and the seller shall bear the liability for fraud compensation to the consumer, with a maximum penalty of 'refund plus triple compensation.' Below are specific details regarding used cars: 1. Inspect the Interior: Check for signs of damage or repairs in the interior. Typically, repainting or waxing for refurbishment will leave a strong, pungent odor. Severe natural wear on the seats indicates that the vehicle has been used for an extended period. 2. Examine the Pedals: Observe the wear on the pedals and steering wheel, as well as the wear on console buttons and knobs. Vehicles with high usage frequency will show significant natural wear.
