Semi-trailer is currently the most widely used in domestic road freight transportation of a model, its trailer bucket can be divided into many types according to the different transport of goods, such as van, plate, warehouse grid, fence plate and so on.


In the early years, it was widely recognized in and out of the industry that "when the motor goes off, the gold goes off". The increasing number of semi-trailer purchases made many brands and manufacturers crowded into the industry one after another, and the market gradually became saturated. Sales pressure, prompting a variety of marketing methods emerge in an endless stream, semi trailer "old for new" is one of them.

What is a trade-in? It is simply the process of adding old cars to a new semi trailer (or a new semi), and the manufacturer takes back the old trailer to offset some of the price of the new vehicle.


There are generally two ways to "trade in" semi-trailer vehicles:


1. Old finished vehicles are sold to trailer factories to offset part of the price of new vehicles. The user sells all his old trailers to the trailer factory, and the manufacturer converts the old trailers into cash to offset the price of the new trailer. The user only needs to pay the difference. The price of the old trailer depends on its new and old degree and the performance of the parameters, but also according to the market conditions at that time.


2. The old hanging part is sold to the trailer factory. In general, it is mostly installed on the trailer, so as to offset part of the new car price at a discount. If some users of the old hang many parts working condition is better, such as tires, axles, can also ask manufacturers to continue to use these parts in the new car, and finally make up the difference on the line.


According to insiders, the current semi-trailer "trade-in" has long been common, most of the trailer enterprises have more or less carried out this promotion business, but also more favored by car buyers.

To say the semi trailer "trade-in" benefits, is also relatively obvious:


1. It allows car buyers to buy a new semi-trailer with less money, saving more money;


2, this kind of "trade-in" is basically combined with the use of the car buyer conditions to build, more suitable for the actual use;


3, the semi-trailer "old for new" is basically heavy trailer replacement light body hanging, lighter weight, weight charge less;


4, for the manufacturer, "old for new" eliminates the formalities, only according to the original procedures of the size of the model or user requirements can be produced, more worry.


However, the "trade-in" of semi-trailers does not meet the requirements of the relevant regulations, meaning that the "trade-in" of the vehicle is likely to face penalties.


The main reasons are as follows:


1. According to the "Standard Provisions on Compulsory Scrapping of Motor Vehicles", "the motor vehicle owner shall sell the motor vehicle to the scrapping of motor vehicle recycling and dismantling enterprises, which shall register, disassemble and destroy the motor vehicle according to the regulations, and submit the registration certificate, plate and driving license of the scrapping motor vehicle to the traffic management department of the public security organ for cancellation". Trailer manufacturers belong to production enterprises, do not have the qualification of recycling scrapped vehicles.


2, if in the "trade-in" choose to use the old car procedures and license plate, basically is equivalent to a set of license car, although the time to buy is more money, but there may be a lot of problems in the subsequent use, such as insurance companies as a reason to refuse to settle claims, or be caught by the traffic police face fines, deduct 12 points and downgrade the severe punishment.


3, if the "old for new" in the process of not paying the purchase tax, it is a serious tax evasion behavior, is in violation of the law, once found to face penalties do not need to say more.

Therefore, the semi trailer "old for new" is not desirable, once the follow-up problems will be more trouble. Especially for the semi-trailer, which requires frequent transportation of heavy cargo vehicles, the use of its parts and components is generally more complex, harsh, and the degree of depletion is generally relatively large. Unless, of course, the old car has been largely unused since it was bought. Otherwise, a lot of damage to these workpiece can not be identified with the naked eye, unless after a special technical detection, it is not recommended to remove the old car directly and continue to install the new car.
