What is the difference between an auto trade invoice and a 4S store invoice?

[DiColin]

Since auto trade invoices are not issued by 4S stores, the vehicle cannot be reported as retail and can only be warranted locally. Other 4S stores may not recognize it. Auto trade cities often collaborate with 4S stores in other locations, so it's important to clarify where the vehicle will be picked up before purchase, as registration will affect the first warranty service. How to distinguish between auto trade invoices and 4S store invoices: 1. Check the watermark: Genuine invoices are printed on special anti-counterfeiting paper with black and white watermarks, which have a noticeable raised texture when touched. Fake watermarks have a weaker raised texture and appear blurry. 2. Prize area difference: The prize area covering on genuine invoices uses laser gold-stamped film with a matte finish, while most fake invoices have inferior covering technology in the prize area, making it harder to scratch off. 3. Color difference: Genuine invoices have a deeper color, appearing pinkish, while fake invoices are much lighter and look somewhat pale.
