What does it mean to trade in old cars? Can I still get state subsidies if I change?

The vehicle trade-in method refers to the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of Vehicle Trade-in (hereinafter referred to as the Detailed Rules) officially issued by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Commerce on July 3, 2009. The "Rules" stipulate that four types of cars can enjoy trade-in subsidies ranging from 3,000 yuan to 6,000 yuan.

Car trade-in refers to scrapping old cars and "yellow-label cars" in advance, and buying new cars in accordance with the requirements of the "Car Trade-in Measures". "Yellow-label vehicles" refer to gasoline vehicles and diesel vehicles that cannot meet the standards of the first and third countries. Old cars, "yellow-label cars" and new cars do not include three-wheeled cars and low-speed trucks.
