Last time I sold my car and went through the ownership transfer process, it wasn't actually difficult. You need to bring the original and photocopies of both parties' ID cards, the seller should prepare the vehicle registration certificate and license, while the buyer also needs a car purchase contract or invoice as proof of the transaction. Go together to the DMV to fill out a transfer application form, where staff will inspect the car to check if the appearance, engine number, etc., match. Then pay the transfer fee, usually around one or two hundred yuan, and you can get the new license and registration certificate on the spot to complete the name change. Don't forget to cancel the original owner's insurance binding or update it to the new name to avoid trouble in case of an incident. It's advisable to handle any traffic violation records of the vehicle in advance, otherwise, the process might get stuck and delay your time. The whole process can be done in half a day, but going early helps avoid queues, and some places even allow you to book an appointment via a mobile app to save time. After the transfer, make sure the vehicle has no debt disputes to avoid future legal issues.

I just went through the process of transferring ownership for a used car I bought, and it took some effort at the vehicle management office. Both the buyer and seller need to bring their original ID cards and the vehicle documents, namely the registration certificate and the vehicle license. Both parties go directly to fill out a transfer application form, and the car is checked to ensure the numbers match. After paying a small fee, you can collect the new documents. A tip is to go in the morning when there are fewer people to save time on queuing. Online appointments are very efficient, and many cities support handling the process online. After the transfer, buy new insurance immediately; otherwise, driving out carries significant risks. Don’t underestimate the importance of having all the documents ready—missing one means an extra trip for nothing. The whole process is simpler than expected, but make sure to prepare photocopies of the documents in advance and don’t forget to settle any traffic violations to avoid delays.

What does 100 mph mean?

100 mph = 100 miles = 100 km/h = 100 kilometers per hour. Driving speed: There are two ways to express the driving speed of a car, one is "kilometers per hour (Km/h)", and the other is "miles per hour (MPH)". Generally, Japanese and Korean car models and most European car models are accustomed to using "kilometers per hour" to indicate speed, while the North American market usually uses "miles per hour" to indicate speed. As for domestic car models, including most imported models, they all use "kilometers per hour" to indicate speed. Origin of the term "mph": The common saying of how many mph a car is going originates from the speed unit "mile". Originally, one mile equaled 1 mile per hour, which is approximately equal to 1.6 kilometers per hour when converted to the metric system. Later, the metric system became internationally common.
