August 1st is the deadline! A triple verification has been added to the cross-provincial transfer of used fuel vehicles, and it will be too late for car dealers to wake up.

Brothers, after August 1st, the meter adjustment trucks in your hands, the cars with dismantled three-way catalytic catalysts, the old cars with hidden emissions, and the doors for cross-provincial transfer are closing one by one.

The "Implementation Rules for the Supervision and Management of the Whole Chain of Motor Vehicle Emissions" jointly issued by the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, and the State Administration for Market Regulation will be implemented nationwide on August 1. This time it is not a pilot project, it is not a rumor, it is a solid fix.

Don't wait until the customer's filing is rejected before slapping the thigh-today, Xiaopang broke the new rules and explained clearly to you which cars can still be saved and which cars can be abandoned early, and how should you prepare?

01 Let's talk about the most critical thing first: transfer in the same city will not be affected!

All kinds of anxious sellers on the Internet say that the transfer of five old cars from four countries is prohibited and forced to be eliminated-it's all nonsense.

The policy is written in black and white: new standards for new cars, old standards for old cars.

Existing private cars that have been licensed before August 1 will all follow the original rules on the road daily, transfer property in the same city, and conduct annual inspections on time. National IV and National V circulate normally within this city, and there is no need to submit additional maintenance and exhaust files.

What are you afraid of? What I am afraid of is crossing provinces.

02 Three new verifications have been added to cross-provincial filing, and one missing item will be directly rejected

This is the change that has the greatest impact on the used car industry after August 1. The transferred local vehicle management office will strictly verify the three materials--

The first priority: Formal maintenance records in the past 12 months.& nbsp; Only electronic work orders from 4S shops or registered chain repair shops are recognized. Handwritten receipts and roadside store IOUs are all invalid. [Source: Ditto]

The second level: 3-month exhaust gas test qualification report that can be checked on the intranet.& nbsp; On-site re-inspection is not enough, and the system also needs to retrieve the vehicle's long-term OBD driving data for comparison-the way to temporarily clear the code and add additives to cope with the test is completely blocked.

Third priority: The OBD system has no long-term unrepaired emission fault codes.& nbsp; Note that it is not to see whether you have current fault codes, but to check historical long-term fault records. Your three-way catalytic machine has been out of service for a long time. If the fault light has been on for half a year, you will pretend that you haven't seen it. The system will know everything once it tunes.

There are three verifications, and any one of them will not pass-the processing will be postponed. Translation into adult words: If the gear upgrade fails, the car cannot get out, the buyer cannot wait, and you will smash it in your hand.

03 Category 4 vehicles are permanently banned from cross-provincial transfer and cannot be rescued

What's even more severe is behind-there are four types of vehicles, which are not suspended, but are permanently prohibited from cross-provincial transfer:

Privately demolish and modify the three-way catalyst: Empty the three-way catalyst and replace it with direct management, and don't even think about leaving across provinces.

Gauging truck: If you adjust 80,000 kilometers to 30,000 kilometers, the maintenance record and OBD data do not match the number, and the system will automatically intercept it.

Major modified vehicles for emission systems: brushing ECU tampering procedures, blocking fault lights, and modifying exhaust emissions-these operations that used to be muddled by scalpers will all be connected to the Internet to leave traces in the future.

Vehicles with long-term emissions that fail to meet standards: Repeated annual exhaust gas inspections and long-term illness are recorded and directly locked. Don't tell me that it's okay to do this in the past-it was the past. August 1 was the implementation of national unified standards, not a pilot project in a certain city, and there is no room for margin play.

04 The triple impact on car dealers is not light

The impact of this new regulation on us second-hand car owners is not as simple as going through two more procedures.

Impact 1: The circulation radius of the meter register narrows like a cliff.

In the past, meter trucks relied on cross-provincial circulation to wash their white products-they were found locally and sold to other places. After August 1, maintenance records will be verified online and OBD historical data will be retrieved, and the meter debugging vehicle will not even be able to pass the shift.

Those cars in your hand that have been moved by the odometer will only be digested in the city in the future. The buyer knows that the car will not be shipped out, so there is no discussion about cutting your price.

Impact 2: The monetization window for cars with hidden emissions is closing.

Three-way catalytic failure, particle traps are blocked, and OBD fault lights are on for a long time-these vehicles used to rely on annual inspections to pass the scalpers. Now the I/M closed-loop system is implemented nationwide. If you fail the annual inspections, you must go to the maintenance station for maintenance, and the maintenance records are uploaded online. Only after passing the re-inspection can you pass the test. [Source: Ditto] Temporary code clearing? Sorry, the system is checking for historical long-term faults, not the one you cleared the code.

Impact 3: Due diligence before taking in a car has changed from optional to mandatory.

In the past, it was enough to collect a car to check the condition of the car, the paint surface, and the signs of the accident. After August 1, you will also have to check maintenance records, OBD files, and exhaust gas history. Not checking? If you can't take it out, the inventory will crush you.

05 Five suggestions for car dealers to adjust as soon as possible

The new rules are not a scourge, but if you continue to follow the old routine, you will be running yourself at the gunpoint. Xiaopang will give you five practical suggestions--

First, hurry up the vehicles that can cross provinces before August 1.& nbsp; There is still a week before the implementation of the new regulations. I have fuel vehicles that plan to transfer across provinces, especially those that are more than 5 years old. Don't delay it. Nowadays, it is still the same rule for filing, and after August 1, you will have to run three more thresholds.

Second, three things must be checked when collecting a car: maintenance records, OBD files, and exhaust gas history. nbsp; In the past, it was enough to check accidents and find out dangers, but now three items are added-use tools such as Lemon Inspection and Car 300 to pull a full record to see if there are long-term emission failures, maintenance interruptions, and abnormal mileage. An inquiry fee of tens of yuan will ensure your business worth hundreds of thousands.

Third, meter adjusting vehicles and vehicles with three-way catalytic vehicles will basically bid farewell to cross-provincial circulation after August 1.& nbsp; Stop taking it. You can absorb it locally, but the price has to be calculated based on whether you can save money-the profit margin has been greatly reduced, and it may be negative.

Fourth, for cars with hidden exhaust diseases, calculate an account before taking them in.& nbsp; Starting with a three-way catalyst of 4,000 yuan, the particle trap is more expensive, and the working hours are often thousands more. Do you include this maintenance budget in the car price? If it doesn't, the car will be a loss-making product when it comes in.

Fifth, establish a pre-inspection process before leaving the province.& nbsp; Before selling a car across provinces, you should do three things first: ① pull the maintenance records to see if it is continuous;② read the OBD to see if there are long-term fault codes;③ Go for a regular exhaust gas inspection. Pass all three, and then put the price to save money. However, either repair it before shipping it out, or leave it for local sales, so as to avoid being rejected when the file is submitted, delaying customers and losing reputation.

06 Let's talk about the most critical thing first: transfer in the same city will not be affected!

Not only car dealers are affected, ordinary car owners also have to be careful--

① Don't panic and sell your car.& nbsp; Local transfers in the four countries and five countries will not be affected, and you will be able to move on after passing the normal annual inspection. The forced scrapping of old cars on the Internet is all rumors. Don't be fooled into selling them at low prices. [Source: Official interpretation of the Ministry of Ecology and Environment]

② Prepare in advance for cross-provincial car sales.& nbsp; If you plan to sell your car to other provinces, you should organize maintenance records now, repair emission faults in advance, and conduct exhaust gas testing within three months. Don't wait for the buyer to come to your door to find out that the materials are incomplete.

③ Go to a regular store for daily maintenance.& nbsp; Handwritten IOUs in roadside shops do not count. You have to go to a 4S shop or a registered repair shop and leave an electronic work order. In the future, cross-provincial transfers will be checked for these online records. A year of no records means a year of blank, and the review will be directly stuck.

Conclusion: The new regulations are not a scourge, but a signal of industry purification

Some people say that this new regulation is tightening or suppressing-Xiaopang does not see it that way.

Meter metering trucks cannot go out of the province, cars that have been demolished for three yuan cannot pass through households, and cars that have emissions and diseases cannot be lifted up-this is called regulation, not suppression.& nbsp; You are a serious car dealer, and these are not things you should sell.

The new regulations lock the circulation radius of problematic vehicles, which in the short term does increase procedures and costs. However, in the long run, the hedging rate of compliant vehicles will steadily increase, because there are no cancerous cars on the market that rely on poor information to dump at low prices, and buyers 'trust in used cars will increase instead.

After all, the era of relying on information gaps has turned over. Let data become the rule for collecting cars, and let the rules protect our jobs.

August 1st is not the end, it is a watershed. This side is the old world that relies on muddling through, and there is a new era that relies on data and integrity to feed.

Which side you stand on determines how long you can continue to work.
