What does old car replacement mean when buying a car?

Replacement car purchase refers to a service where consumers use the assessed value of their used car plus additional payment to buy a new car from brand dealerships. Here are some considerations regarding car replacement purchases: 1. Check documentation completeness: To facilitate the replacement of your old car, make sure to verify all vehicle documents are complete before going to a 4S store for evaluation. Required documents include original ID card and copies, original vehicle purchase invoice or previous transfer invoice with copies, original vehicle registration certificate with copies, and original vehicle license with copies. 2. Understand vehicle pricing: Before replacement, you can research used car price trends online or in the used car market for reference, then visit professional used car brokerage companies or 4S stores for actual evaluation. Used car evaluations are generally free, so you can 'compare prices from three sources' before making your choice.
When I bought my car before, I also used the old car replacement service. Simply put, it means selling your old car directly to the 4S store or dealer and using the money from the sale to offset part of the payment for the new car. I remember back then, I drove my six-year-old Ford Focus to the store, and they gave me an on-the-spot valuation. Although it was about a thousand yuan less than selling it privately, it was much more hassle-free. No need to post ads everywhere to find buyers or haggle with people. The key procedures were all handled by the store, from transferring the old car to licensing the new one—a one-stop service. It’s especially suitable for office workers like me who dislike trouble. I could get the big task of changing cars done in just half a day on the weekend, and I even received an extra 2,000 yuan replacement subsidy from the manufacturer.
