99,000 to buy a scrapped car- Guazi used car response- The information is false and the car owner is actually a car dealer
Q: Can you share the details regarding the recent controversy involving a vehicle purchased through your platform?
A: Certainly. We’ve been following the situation closely. Recently, a social media post claimed that a car owner in Weifang, Shandong, spent 99,000 yuan on a vehicle that turned out to be unserviceable. This sparked considerable public interest, especially as the owner attempted to assert their rights through a demonstration.
Q: What’s your official response to this claim?
A: We would like to clarify that the information circulating is inaccurate. There’s a strong possibility that this is a case of malicious speculation, potentially driven by competition in the market. We retain all legal rights to address such misinformation.
Q: Can you explain what happened with the vehicle in question?
A: Absolutely. There’s a video online showing that the owner purchased an electric vehicle from a second-hand car dealer via our platform. Upon delivery, they reported that the vehicle could not be charged, suspecting a battery issue. However, we want to emphasize that the transaction originated from our C2B service and involved a dealer who has a solid track record with over thirty transactions on our platform, not an average consumer.
Q: So, is it true that the car was purchased for 99,000 yuan?
A: No, that’s incorrect. The dealer actually secured the vehicle for 101,100 yuan after thoroughly reviewing a professional assessment report and the actual condition of the car, and they signed a contract reflecting that amount.
Q: Regarding the issue of the car being unable to charge or operate, what can you confirm?
A: We can confirm that the vehicle is in working condition and can be charged. The battery health was below optimal levels, but the overall state of the vehicle met the standards outlined before the transaction. It is definitely not a scrapped vehicle as is being suggested online.
