Where is the largest used car market in China?

China's largest used car market is located in Beijing, which not only offers a vast quantity and variety of used cars but also provides very affordable prices. Used cars from all over the country mainly gather in these two places. When purchasing a used car, there are several key aspects to pay attention to: 1. Focus on the vehicle condition: First, ensure the vehicle's documentation is complete and valid. Second, pay close attention to the vehicle's condition (especially the chassis, engine, steering, and brakes), and avoid mistakenly purchasing a car with undisclosed accident history. 2. Vehicle registration certificate: Check if the font on the vehicle registration certificate matches that on the driving license, and verify that the chassis number and engine number are consistent with those on the driving license. Check the manufacturing date and registration date (for domestic cars, if the gap between the manufacturing date and registration date exceeds six months, it might be a stock car). Also, review the registration records to see if the car has been frequently transferred in a short period (frequent transfers in a short time may indicate poor vehicle condition). 3. Vehicle insurance: Verify that the chassis number and engine number on the insurance policy match those on the driving license, and ensure the policy is still valid. 4. Test drive: Whether it's a new or used car, take it for a test drive to check if the steering wheel pulls to one side, if there are any unusual noises when driving over bumpy roads, or if the chassis feels loose. A crucial step is to inspect the exhaust pipe after the test drive—insert a piece of paper and wipe it; if there's oil residue, it indicates oil burning. Normally, the exhaust pipe should be dry. While checking the exhaust pipe, also take a look at the chassis.
