Vehicle in good condition, passed inspection, 1 claim filed, 0 ownership transfers.
This vehicle is 6 years old, with an average annual mileage of 6,400 kilometers. It has been used infrequently and has never been transferred to another owner, making it a good first-hand vehicle. The exterior paint is in good condition, although there may be a few minor scratches. The interior is in good condition, with normal signs of use. The overall body frame is intact, but there are a few minor abnormalities. The fluid levels are normal, and the powertrain is functioning well.
Test-drive cars experience much more mechanical wear due to extreme conditions like cold starts and emergency braking compared to regular family cars. We can identify this by tracing whether the first owner was a 4S dealership or the manufacturer. If so, we will reassess its value based on "operational intensity" standards.
Maintain objective expectations. Vehicles over 5 years old inevitably show signs of decreased paint gloss, slight aging of rubber seals, irreversible patina on interiors, and surface rust on chassis components. As long as core structure and mechanical failures are not involved, these are normal depreciation characteristics over time.
China has a large number of luxury cars and a fast turnover rate. For luxury cars of the same year and mileage, the FOB offshore price in the Chinese market usually still has a 10%-15% arbitrage opportunity after deducting shipping costs, especially for models with high depreciation rates.
