Guazi Connects Chinese Vehicle Supply with Dealers Worldwide, Offering Flexible Sourcing and Long-Term Partnership Support

For overseas automotive dealers and importers, adding a sourcing channel involves more than comparing models and prices. Whether they can assess vehicle condition remotely, coordinate the transaction and shipping, and replenish stock as sales require will help determine whether a cross-border sourcing operation can be sustained.

China’s used-car market offers another source of supply for these businesses. According to the China Automobile Dealers Association, more than 20 million used vehicles changed hands in China in 2025. The size of the domestic automotive market brings vehicles of different brands, ages, specifications and powertrains into circulation, giving overseas dealers a basis for comparing stock and adjusting their purchasing mix.

Used new energy vehicles (NEVs) are an increasingly substantial part of that supply. In 2025, China’s used NEV transactions reached 1.6 million, accounting for 7.9% of all used-vehicle transactions, up 2.2 percentage points from the previous year. Battery-electric, plug-in hybrid and range-extended vehicles circulating in the Chinese market serve uses ranging from urban commuting and family travel to business transport. For overseas dealers considering an expansion into NEVs, these vehicles offer purchasing options alongside conventional petrol and diesel models. Selection also needs to reflect local charging conditions, repair capabilities and customers’ driving habits.

A broad supply of vehicles in China, however, still needs to be made accessible to overseas buyers. Dealers who cannot regularly travel to China must identify suitable stock across different locations, verify the condition of individual vehicles, and confirm prices, export documents and shipping arrangements. Connecting these steps is an important part of bringing Chinese vehicle supply into an overseas dealer’s purchasing operation.

Vehicle sourcing across China

Through its international platform, Guazi Used Cars connects vehicles from across China with inspection information, online transaction tools and procurement teams. It supports dealers, importers and fleet buyers with vehicle selection, condition assessment, price discussions and transaction coordination.

This business builds on Guazi’s long-standing participation in China’s used-car market. According to the company’s public information, Guazi has completed more than 3 million used-car transactions and inspected more than 30 million vehicles in China. Its business covers over 200 key Chinese cities, making it one of the country’s major used-car trading and service platforms.

Its domestic physical network also forms part of this foundation. In an announcement published on 22 October 2026, Guazi said its Direct-Sale Centers covered 46 cities across 26 Chinese provinces, including Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, connecting nationwide vehicle supply with local showrooms. This network supports vehicle sourcing, display and transaction services within China.

Overseas buyers can filter vehicles by brand, model, year, mileage and budget, or submit their preferred models, quantities and destination to the team for further sourcing. The platform includes Guazi-owned vehicles and stock from certified dealers, among other sources. Labels such as “Guazi Owned” and “Certified Dealer” help buyers identify the source of a listing.

For dealers looking to expand into NEVs or fleet procurement, the platform offers electric and hybrid used-car filters and a Fleet Cars section. For purchases involving several vehicles or a mix of models, the team can confirm availability and quotations for each vehicle against the buyer’s budget and delivery requirements.

Inspection information for remote purchasing

A wider choice of stock still requires decisions about individual vehicles. Cars of the same model can differ in age, mileage, specification and previous use, affecting both their preparation needs and their value to a buyer.

According to Guazi’s published inspection guidance, its more than 200 checks cover areas including vehicle structure, the engine bay, exterior bodywork, interior functions, suspension and brakes. Buyers can review inspection records alongside photographs, specifications and quotations to understand recorded wear, functional condition and issues requiring further clarification.

Assessment of electric and hybrid vehicles also covers the traction battery, motor and electronic control systems. Some vehicle detail pages provide battery state-of-health (SOH) information. These materials help buyers ask more specific questions during an enquiry and consider whether a vehicle suits their market, together with its exact version, charging compatibility and local after-sales arrangements.

For overseas dealers, vehicle-level information can also inform preparations for resale. Understanding condition and preparation needs before purchasing helps them assess costs earlier and explain the vehicle’s condition to their own customers.

Purchasing options and dealer partnerships

Once buyers have shortlisted vehicles, their preferred transaction methods may differ. Guazi’s international platform offers Buy It Now and auction channels. Eligible buyers can also use “Make an Offer” on vehicles displaying the negotiation option to submit a target price and view the seller’s acceptance, counter-offer or rejection.

These tools allow dealers to discuss prices for specific vehicles and follow several potential purchases at once. An agreed offer still requires an order and payment of the order deposit under the platform’s rules before the vehicle is reserved. Subsequent arrangements for export documents, shipping, insurance and destination delivery are confirmed through the relevant quotation, order and contract.

Guazi also offers partnership options for dealers planning to replenish stock regularly. Authorized Dealer is intended for importers and dealers building consistent purchasing volumes, with a published minimum annual commitment of 100 vehicles. Premium Partner is aimed at dealers with larger purchasing volumes and plans to expand their markets, with a published annual requirement of 200 vehicles or more and a partnership deposit. The plans provide corresponding pricing, inventory access and account-team support.

Guazi Supporter provides a referral-based option without an inventory commitment. Participants may earn commissions or rewards under the program’s rules for eligible, completed customer purchases. First-time buyers can begin by discussing their actual model, quantity and destination requirements, then consider longer-term arrangements as their businesses develop. Annual partnership commitments and quantities for individual orders are confirmed separately.

Local teams and market partnerships

Cross-border sourcing requires both supply and transaction capabilities in China and an understanding of model preferences, communication needs and delivery requirements in the destination market. Guazi is addressing these needs through different approaches, including local teams and partnerships.

In Ghana, Guazi has an office and team in Accra, providing a direct point of contact for local customers. In Georgia, it works with automotive importer Auto Import Georgia (AIG) to connect Chinese vehicle supply with local procurement demand. In its September 2026 Eastern Europe update, Guazi also reported discussions with local importers, dealers and retailers on model selection, vehicle condition, certification, delivery and subsequent support, and said it had signed agency agreements with several partners.

These activities use different operating models. In Accra, a local Guazi team provides a communication channel; the activities described in Georgia and Eastern Europe connect with those markets through partners. Specific services are confirmed by the relevant teams, partners and buyers for each project.

For an overseas dealer, the value of a sourcing channel ultimately lies in finding vehicles suited to its customers, obtaining enough information to make purchasing decisions, and being able to organise the next purchase. Guazi is applying its experience in vehicle sourcing, inspection and transaction services in China to these practical steps. Dealers can begin with their target models, quantities, budget and destination, then work with the team to confirm vehicles, transaction terms and partnership arrangements.
