Core Viewpoint - The phenomenon of "0-kilometer used cars" has become a focal point in the automotive industry, highlighting issues related to market saturation, inventory management, and consumer risks [1][3]. Group 1: Market Dynamics - The emergence of "0-kilometer used cars" is a result of multiple factors, including excessive production capacity by automakers and the need to offload unsold inventory through unconventional channels [3][4]. - Policy incentives, such as subsidies for new car sales, have led dealers to use "fake transfers" to convert new cars into used cars, allowing them to claim subsidies while meeting sales targets [3]. - The development of the used car export trade has further exacerbated this market phenomenon, as some dealers package new cars as used for export purposes [4]. Group 2: Consumer Risks - "0-kilometer used cars" may appear to offer new car quality at used car prices, but they carry significant risks, particularly regarding warranty periods, which are often reduced due to the initial registration date [5][9]. - Key components of vehicles, such as batteries and tires, can deteriorate even if the car has not been driven, leading to safety and performance issues [9]. - The resale value of "0-kilometer used cars" is typically 10%-15% lower than that of normal used cars, posing a financial risk for consumers when they decide to sell [9]. Group 3: Transparency and Consumer Protection - The market for "0-kilometer used cars" is characterized by a lack of transparency, making it difficult for consumers to verify the true condition and history of the vehicles [9]. - Some dealers may engage in deceptive practices, such as altering odometers or misrepresenting the vehicle's history, which can lead to significant financial losses for consumers [9]. - Consumers are advised to conduct thorough inspections, ensure rigorous contract terms, and understand warranty policies to protect themselves when purchasing "0-kilometer used cars" [10][12].
