China has issued a new government notice aimed at tightening the management of used-vehicle exports, marking one of the most significant regulatory updates in the sector in recent years. The joint announcement, released by the Ministry of Commerce, Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, Ministry of Public Security, and the General Administration of Customs, seeks to regulate market competition, prevent misuse of export channels, and ensure that overseas buyers receive reliable and compliant vehicles from China.

For first-time buyers, purchasing a used car can be far more complicated than expected. From finding the right car to inspecting it, negotiating, verifying documents, and signing the contract—each step can hide potential pitfalls. But with some basic knowledge, you can significantly reduce the risks and make a smart purchase.

When you buy a used car for around $1,500 (roughly ¥10,000), the biggest question most drivers have is simple — how long will it last? The truth is, it depends on many factors: the car’s condition, maintenance history, and how gently it’s driven.

As the global car market keeps expanding, used cars are becoming more popular than ever. After all, who wouldn’t want to drive a good car for less money? But let’s be honest — the used car market can be full of hidden traps.

Always confirm that the VIN, engine number, and registration documents match.
Ensure the car is not under mortgage, seizure, or unpaid fines.
