First of all, this car comes with a three-guarantee policy: no accidents, no water damage, and no fire damage. This is written in the contract for your peace of mind. If you discover any of these issues after purchase, you can return the car and get a refund within 15 days. This is a large, reputable dealership with guaranteed vehicle condition and friendly, attentive service. It's a nearly 2017 model, one owner, with a genuine odometer, original condition, stylish exterior, and a beautiful interior. It's practically in zero wear and tear, having only driven a few thousand kilometers in the past year. The engine is clean and quiet. It boasts rich features, a spacious interior, dual power seats, 8 airbags, a 360-degree surround view camera, a panoramic sunroof, and tire pressure monitoring. The mileage and condition are excellent, making it suitable for many years. Financing is available with a down payment of 2,000 yuan and monthly payments of just a few hundred yuan.
From a technical perspective, China's "National VI B (China VI-b)" is one of the strictest emission standards globally, with limits on carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter that are even stricter than some of Europe's Euro VI standards. However, the two are not legally recognized by each other, depending on your country's import regulations.
Common charges beyond the car price: pre-shipment inspection fee, inland trucking from the car's city to the port, export customs clearance, documentation fee, terminal handling charges (THC), certificate fees, and markups hidden inside the freight quote. How to protect yourself: ask for an itemized quotation with each charge listed separately; compare 2-3 exporters, because a very low car price is often offset by inflated fees; confirm which costs are included up to the port of loading and which you pay at destination; agree in writing on the payment currency and the exchange rate date. Your total budget should be: car price + export fees + freight + insurance + destination port charges + import duties and taxes.
A solid contract is your main protection in a cross-border deal. It should specify: 1. Vehicle identification: VIN, year, mileage, trim level, and photos of the actual car appended as an annex — not just「a 2021 Toyota」. 2. Condition guarantees: no accident, no flood or fire damage, no structural repairs, supported by a third-party inspection report referenced in the contract. 3. Price and Incoterm: total amount, currency, the named port, and whether freight and insurance are included. 4. Payment schedule: e.g., 20–30% deposit after contract signing, balance against copy of the Bill of Lading. Avoid 100% upfront. Use T/T to the company's corporate bank account only — never a personal account. 5. Timeline: inspection date, estimated loading date, and latest shipment date, with remedies if delayed. 6. Dispute clause: governing law and arbitration (CIETAC or your local chamber) rather than foreign court litigation. Ask for the contract in English (or bilingual) with the supplier's company chop. A company that refuses a written contract or pushes for full prepayment is a red flag.
