What are "big trade cars" and "small trade cars"? Millions of luxury cars actually only sell for hundreds of thousands.

In China, I believe that most consumers will choose a regular 4S shop authorized by the manufacturer to buy a car, which is the most reliable way to buy a new car, and a few consumers will choose to buy a used car, but the traditional used car market is so deep that no old driver is easy to suffer. In addition, there are many ways to buy a car, such as parallel imported cars, mortgage cars, small trade cars and big trade cars. Among them, parallel imported cars have been mentioned a lot, and mortgage cars have also been heard, but small trade cars and big trade cars are rarely mentioned, which is what I want to introduce today.

What is a big trading car?

Let's talk about what a big trade car is first. The big trade car refers to the car imported through the regular customs. The car can be renamed and transferred at any time after being sold by the regular dealer and paying the purchase tax. In addition to the well-known 3C certification, customs clearance and tax payment certificate, the big trade car also needs to meet the requirements of car sales in China, such as Chinese instructions and warranty manuals, and the operation process is quite complicated. To sum up, all big trade cars are supported by subsidiaries established in China by foreign brand car dealers or general dealers, so as to facilitate the sales of big trade cars.

After reading the above, we will understand that the big trade car is actually a very formal imported car, which meets all the formal import procedures and guarantees a certain after-sales service. It still enjoys the upgrade and recall provided by the manufacturer and enjoys the same treatment as the new car sold by the traditional 4S shop.

Do you recommend buying a big trade car?

Then why have you heard so little about the big trade car? That's because big trading cars are imported cars, and they need to pay customs duties, value-added tax and consumption tax. The comprehensive tax rate is about 70% of the car price (overseas suggested retail price), so different big trade cars are very different.

For example, the starting price of the entry-level version of Volkswagen Touran in the US market is $30,500 (equivalent to RMB265,438 +0.26 million), which is much cheaper than the starting price of 300,900 in China. If you buy a batch of Touran cars through the big trade car, the price will be as high as 361.2000 yuan for China consumers according to the comprehensive tax rate of 70% of the car price. Obviously, Touran is not suitable to be imported into China as a large trade vehicle.

Therefore, most of the big trade cars are luxury cars with cheaper overseas prices, and cars imported into China can only be sold if they are cheaper than official channels. In order to lower the price of big trade cars, some big trade cars will be those in long-term inventory, which makes it easy to understand why all the online uploads are ultra-low-priced luxury cars. If the purchase channel is an acquaintance, you may wish to know about it, but you need to be cautious when scouring goods, and you basically rely on deception.

What is a small trading car?

Then let's talk about what a small trade car is. The applicant or importer shall apply to the national import supervision department for import of small-displacement vehicles according to the principle of self-use. Before importing, they must declare that they bear the use risk of the car themselves, in other words, they are responsible for maintenance, warranty and whether they can be licensed. The birth of small trade cars is mainly because the country allows them to bring their own cars to drive in China in order to attract foreign investment or attract international students. These cars don't need all kinds of certificates, just certificates issued by the customs.

Small trade cars are the way to get rich?

I don't know if you have noticed the vehicles with overseas license plates on the road. These vehicles are probably small trade vehicles. Since small-scale trading cars can enter China with only one piece of paper, let some businesses sprout the road to wealth. Isn't it beautiful to sell them at a price 20%-30% lower than the market price?

However, the state does not want small cars to become a sales channel for cars. All small cars have different supervision periods, usually six months to one year, and these small cars are not allowed to be transferred. Once a foreign-funded enterprise goes bankrupt, the customs will still recycle these cars.

Write it at the end

The cafe has consulted a lawyer. In fact, apart from parallel imported cars, there is no definition of small trade cars or large trade cars in law, which belongs to the technical terms of the industry. If you have a purchase channel for a big trade car around you, you can consider buying a big trade car based on the low price, reliable seller and your liking for the car. However, it is not recommended to buy a small car, and the chances of being cheated are even greater. Who knows if "that paper" is forged? It's not as simple as losing your driver's license and being found out.

As we all know, the national VI emission standard policy will be implemented in July this year. All new cars that fail to meet the national VI emissions will not be licensed, so parallel imported cars will bid farewell to the industry, and so will big trade cars. It will still be cool without "3C certification". Perhaps, only small trading cars can exist for a while.
