What to Pay Attention to When Trading in a Car to a 4S Store
1 Answers
When trading in a car to a 4S store, it is important to ensure complete documentation, choose a temporary replacement vehicle, and research prices. Trading in a car to a 4S store means using the assessed value of the used car plus additional payment to purchase a new car from the 4S store. Ensure complete documentation: To facilitate the trade-in of the old car, before going to the 4S store for an evaluation, make sure to check if all vehicle documents are complete. These include the original and photocopy of the ID card, the original and photocopy of the vehicle's original purchase invoice or the last transfer invoice, the original and photocopy of the vehicle's motor vehicle registration certificate, and the original and photocopy of the vehicle's driving license. Choose a temporary replacement vehicle: After trading in the old car, it is usually necessary to go to the traffic management department to transfer the vehicle records. After the transfer, it takes about 8 working days to obtain the updated quota, totaling about 2 weeks. If the owner cannot do without a car in daily life and work, it is necessary to prepare a temporary replacement vehicle in advance. Research prices: Before proceeding with the trade-in, the owner may want to first understand the general price range of used cars online or in the used car market as a reference. Then, they can go to a professional used car brokerage company or a 4S store for an actual evaluation. Used car evaluations are generally free, so the owner can 'compare prices from three different sources' before making a choice.
