What is the difference between China-spec vehicles and parallel imported vehicles?

[DelHadley]

The difference between China-spec vehicles and parallel imported vehicles lies in their distributors: China-spec vehicles are officially authorized and imported by manufacturers, mostly introduced by domestic general agents and sold through 4S stores; parallel imported vehicles are not authorized by manufacturers and are introduced by other dealers. Most parallel imported vehicles do not come with after-sales services, though some specialized parallel import dealers may provide such services for their customers. Many parallel imported vehicles are U.S.-spec or Canada-spec. Before purchasing a parallel imported vehicle, it is essential to find a reliable and professional dealer specializing in such vehicles. After receiving the vehicle, always check if all accompanying documents are complete, as incomplete documentation may prevent the vehicle from being registered.
