Two ways to buy the same car

Recommended for most buyers

Authorized dealer

Full local warranty from day one, with the steering side and specification that match your market.

Price
$70
Warranty
— yr local warranty
Delivery
Depends on dealer stock
Lower price, higher risk

Wholesale / B2B import

Cheaper upfront, but warranty is often void outside the export contract's home market, and specs can be a grey-import mismatch.

Price
$0
Warranty
Not honored locally
Delivery
Shipping and customs — usually much longer

Next: put your shortlist side by side

Compare specifications, sourced owner feedback and safety ratings. ZhongAuto does not match buyers with dealers or provide quotes — confirm real prices with an authorized dealer in your market.

Compare models

Duty / VAT / registration / SCT rates come from public government and tax-briefing sources (see the footnotes on the Model Database page); freight is a lane-based estimate, not a customs document — check with local customs and dealers for the actual figures.
