Where is the largest used car trading market in Xi'an?

Wulong International Auto City - Located in the Guodu Industrial Park, Chang'an District. Here are the specific details: 1. Precautions: When inspecting a car, ensure all vehicle documents are complete. Incomplete documentation for a used car can prevent normal transfer of ownership. Do not purchase a car if it cannot be transferred. When checking the documents, verify how long the compulsory traffic insurance and commercial insurance are still valid. 2. Identifying flood-damaged cars: For vehicles that have been submerged in water, traces can often be found in the interior. Flood-damaged cars usually have a peculiar smell inside, and the steering wheel column or seat rails may show signs of rust. After lifting the floor mats, the carpet may still feel damp.
When I went to Xi'an to buy a used car, I visited several places, and the largest one was definitely the Yuhuazhai Used Car Trading Market. Located on Fuyu Road in Yanta District, locals call it the West Third Ring Auto City, and it's packed with car shoppers from morning till night. The market is divided into over a dozen large shed showrooms, with Mercedes-Benz, BMW, and domestic cars displayed in separate sections. You can even find some older, less common models. I got completely lost on my first visit, so I recommend bringing a car-savvy friend along, as some dealers tend to raise prices when they see out-of-towners. Remember to check the VIN for maintenance records, and there are counters in the market that handle transfer procedures, which can be completed in half a day.
The Yuhuazhai International Auto Mall near Xi'an's West Third Ring Road is the most worthwhile place to visit, with a sprawling 500-acre site packed with used cars. I found my replacement car here last year. Take Metro Line 3 to Yuhuazhai Station, then transfer to a bus for two stops and get off at Kewu Intersection—it's right there. It offers more options than the Sanqiao Auto Mall, especially if you're looking for nearly-new cars under five years old. The vehicles displayed in the large glass rooms in the middle of the exhibition hall tend to have more transparent condition reports. A tip: bring a flashlight, as some dealers intentionally park cars in dimly lit areas to hide flaws—pay special attention to checking under the seats for water damage signs. If you want to haggle, go right when they open in the morning; dealers are more likely to give discounts for good luck.
