Many foreigners choose to buy used vehicles from other expats. But, if these deals go sour there is not much recourse available, so make sure you trust the seller. You will need your passport and the seller must provide a bill of sale, title, and registration.

There is no need to pay the purchase tax when buying a used car, but transfer of title can cost up to ¥900 depending on the make and model. For help buying or selling a car, check out Beijing Car Solution (www.car-solution.com).
