Where is the largest used car market in China?
1 Answers
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 them at very affordable prices. Used cars from all over the country are mainly concentrated in these two places. When purchasing a used car, attention should be paid to the following aspects: 1. Pay attention to the car's condition: First, ensure that the vehicle's documentation is complete and valid; second, pay close attention to the car's condition (focusing on 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 the same as those on the driving license. Check if the manufacturing date and registration date (for domestic cars, if the period between manufacturing and registration exceeds six months, it might be an inventory car) match the dealer's description. Also, check the registration column for frequent transfers in a short period (frequent transfers in a short time might indicate poor car condition leading to multiple sales). 3. Vehicle insurance: Verify that the chassis number and engine number on the insurance policy match those on the driving license and check if the policy is still valid. 4. Test drive: Whether it's a new or used car, take it for a drive to see if the steering wheel pulls to one side, if there are any abnormal noises when driving over bumpy roads, or if the chassis feels loose. The most critical point is to check the exhaust pipe after the test drive by inserting a piece of paper to 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.
