Chengdu used car ownership transfer process is as follows: Prepare documents: The buyer and the original owner need to bring their original ID cards and copies, and the seller also needs to bring the vehicle license. Collect all required documents. Receive materials: Go to the vehicle management office to collect the transfer application form and agreement, and clear any traffic violation records of the vehicle. Ownership transfer cannot proceed if traffic violations are not cleared. Obtain forms: Go to the used car trading point to get the appraisal form. After completing all relevant appraisal procedures, the staff will fill out the forms. Owner information: Bring all necessary documents to the vehicle transfer office for processing. Transfer: Complete the transfer at the traffic police station.
Last time I bought a used car in Chengdu, and the transfer process went quite smoothly. It can be roughly divided into several steps: First, prepare the original and photocopies of the ID cards of both the buyer and seller, the vehicle registration certificate, the driving license, and other necessary documents. Also, make sure all traffic violations of the vehicle are cleared. Then, you need to make an appointment with the Chengdu Vehicle Management Office or a designated inspection site. It's recommended to book a time online using the Chengdu Traffic Police APP. Next, drive the car to the inspection station for a technical inspection, including checks on lights and brakes. After passing the inspection, take the documents to the Vehicle Management Office to complete the transfer, pay a few hundred yuan in transfer fees and taxes, and wait for the process to be completed to receive the new documents. The whole process took me most of a day. If you have all the required documents, the efficiency is quite high. It's advisable to go on a weekday morning when there are fewer people to save time.
As someone frequently involved in car buying and selling, I understand the key points of used car transfer in Chengdu: both the buyer and seller need to bring all required documents, including ID cards and the vehicle registration certificate, and go together to a Chengdu inspection station for vehicle inspection. After passing the inspection, they can directly submit the application at the vehicle management office. Incomplete documents are the most common stumbling block, especially ensuring the compulsory traffic insurance is valid. The transfer fee is usually around three to four hundred yuan. The entire process can be completed in two to three hours if everything goes smoothly, but don't forget to check if the vehicle has any mortgages or fines, otherwise, it could be a wasted trip. When making an appointment, choose the right location, such as the Shuangliu District Vehicle Management Office, where queues are shorter and more convenient than downtown.
