Ordering & payment

3 questions

How do I reserve or purchase a vehicle?
Browse the vehicle market, note the stock ID or link, then contact us via email, WhatsApp, or Telegram. We confirm availability, specification, and export terms before issuing a proforma invoice (PI).
Share this FAQ
What payment methods are supported?
Typical settlements include T/T (telegraphic transfer) and, where agreed, L/C or other structured payment flows. Currency and milestones are defined in the contract — we do not recommend informal transfers to unknown accounts.

Is the listed price final?
Listings usually show vehicle price in CNY (or converted display). FOB, ocean/rail freight, insurance, destination duties, and local fees are quoted separately based on Incoterms and routing.

Inspection & vehicle condition

3 questions

Can I inspect a car before purchase?
Yes. We can arrange third-party or on-site inspections so you receive a structured report (exterior, interior, mechanical, and key electronics). This helps reduce risk when importing used vehicles from China.
Share this FAQ
What is PDI?
PDI (Pre-Delivery Inspection) is our standardized check before shipment — covering hundreds of points including cosmetic condition, fluids, tires, warning lights, and charging/accessories for EVs where applicable.
Share this FAQ
Do you guarantee mileage or accident history?
We work to verify information and support inspection reports, but buyers should rely on agreed inspection scope and contractual terms. Always review the report and title/export paperwork for your destination.
