What Documents Are Needed to Buy a Car?
2 Answers
You need to bring your ID card (temporary residence permit). One person can have an unlimited number of cars under one household registration. Here are the specific details: 1. Requirements for buying a car with a loan: (1) The buyer must be at least 18 years old and have full legal capacity. (2) Must have a stable income or other easily liquidated assets, such as stocks or certain precious metals. 2. Things to note when buying a car: (1) Ensure you have the vehicle identification number, engine number, chassis number, and whether it's manual or automatic transmission, as well as the delivery documents. Also, clarify the pricing details, including the base car price and other fees, to avoid dealer tricks. (2) Pay attention to the details specified in the contract.
When I bought my first car last year, I was super excited but also a bit nervous. Remember to bring your original ID card and a copy, a bank debit or credit card to pay for the car, and your driver’s license because dealers often require it for test drives. I also prepared a detailed budget list including the down payment amount and monthly loan repayments, and brought along a car-savvy friend to help with the selection process to avoid impulsive purchases. Additionally, bring your phone to take photos of the car details and contract to prevent fraud, and some cash as backup since some small shops only accept cash. After purchasing the car, immediately ask about the warranty terms and the first maintenance schedule—this can save you a lot of future expenses. Stay calm throughout the process and don’t be swayed by sales tactics. Taking the time to compare a few dealerships will help you find the best deal.
