Why are vehicles with Lu D license plates cheaper?

[McLiam]

The specific reasons why vehicles with Lu D license plates are cheaper are as follows: 1. Airport retired vehicles: The area corresponding to Lu D is Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province. Cheap Lu D vehicles may also be airport retired vehicles. Airport retired vehicles are operational vehicles, not private cars, and their performance cannot be guaranteed. The condition of these vehicles may not be as good as decommissioned taxis. 2. Decommissioned taxis: Cheap Lu D license plate vehicles may be decommissioned taxis from Shandong, meaning eliminated taxis. Taxis generally have a mandatory retirement period of 8 years, and after purchase, they can only be used for about 3 years before being forcibly scrapped. The retirement periods for decommissioned taxis are: 8 years for small and micro passenger vehicles, 10 years for medium-sized taxi passenger vehicles, and 12 years for large taxi passenger vehicles.
