The way to rent and sell the "Beijing brand" is gone
"A business friend I know bought 9 minivans with 9 Beijing brands." The owner, Mr. Lu, told a reporter from Chinanews.com that his non-Beijing household registration and fruit wholesale business owner, for many years It has been increasing revenue by renting and selling license plates.
"Nine cars are all Beijing brands. These years, he has been holding on to wait for the appreciation."
In recent years, due to the declining rate of winning lottery tickets for Beijing passenger cars, the "Jingjing" business has continued to be popular in Beijing, and Beijing's restrictions on foreign-brand vehicles have also increased the price of Beijing.
According to reports, the current price for renting a Beijing card is about 12,000 yuan per year, but if you want to rent it, you need to pay additional payments such as deposits and security deposits. The middleman can make 5,000-6,000 yuan for a Beijing card.
Therefore, the actual price of renting the Jing brand for one year has reached about 20,000 yuan.
But in the face of the New Deal, the way to rent the Jing brand has been blocked.
In February 2020, the General Office of the Beijing Municipal Government issued the "Action Plan for Beijing's Comprehensive Transportation Management in 2020" to intensify the crackdown on illegal behaviors related to the rental and sale of passenger cars.
The indicator confirmation notice for passenger cars is restricted to the owner of the indicator. In the event of buying, selling, disguised trading, renting or leasing, lending or borrowing the indicator confirming notice for passenger cars, the indicator shall be invalidated by the indicator management agency.
"In addition to the New Deal next year, it is estimated that his Beijing brand business will not be able to continue, and none of his family members have a household registration, and there is no way to transfer the quota. So many brands must be smashed." Mr. Lu said.
On December 7, the newly revised "Beijing Interim Regulations on the Number of Passenger Cars" and "Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the "Beijing Interim Regulations on the Number of Passenger Cars" were officially announced. The New Deal is tilted towards car-free families and promotes a second car under the personal name. Passenger cars registered in this city and above are withdrawn in an orderly manner. The New Deal will be implemented on January 1, 2021.
In other words, each person can only have one indicator of a small passenger car, that is, the license plate.
If there are multiple license plates under the name and no eligible transferees, the excess license plates will be invalidated when the vehicle is scrapped.

Late-night queuing guarantee indicators, second-hand car transfers surge
According to the New Deal, as long as the vehicle registration, transfer or cancellation of registration has been completed before December 31, 2020, it will be possible to apply for updated indicators at any time in the future.
In addition, relevant car owners do not need to rush to apply for updated indicators before the implementation of the New Deal, and there is no longer a time limit for applying for updated indicators within 12 months after the implementation of the New Deal.
However, once the indicator is applied for, the indicator is still valid for 12 months.
If the vehicles under your name are sold or scrapped after January 1, 2021, you can only apply for an updated indicator for one of the vehicles.
The reporter's visit found that many car owners rushed to sell old cars and buy new cars before the implementation of the New Deal to extend the useful life of the indicators.
As the implementation date of the New Deal is getting closer, transfer of ownership has become the top priority for car owners with related needs.
The reporter learned from several interviewees that in the recent transfer of ownership at the Huaxiang second-hand car market in Beijing, there is even a need to queue for more than 24 hours.
"The Huaxiang market at two o'clock in the morning, line up late at night to guarantee the index!" "If you want to transfer the property, you have to fill up the gas and come back. Wait for 24 hours to avoid getting cold. It is measured to walk 10 meters in an hour." "Huaxiang second-hand car transfer, line up A few kilometers..."
Netizens said that the transfer of vehicles needs to line up late at night.

"The New Deal is coming. My dad is going to pass on an indicator to me, so I can buy one quickly, and I will come and see the second-hand one." A young customer told a salesperson at the Huaxiang second-hand car market in Beijing.
The staff said that after the release of the New Deal, the number of people who came to the store to watch cars increased significantly, and most of them were young people who got the indicators from their parents.
Mr. Zhang, a citizen holding two small passenger car indicators at the transfer site, is anxious to find a buyer for the extra car.
Mr. Zhang said frankly that his relatives also have indicators, and he can only choose to sell the old cars at the end of this year to free up the indicators so that two more new cars can be purchased after the implementation of the New Deal.
In response to Mr. Zhang’s situation, the customer service staff of the Beijing Municipal Office of Small Bus Indicators Regulation and Management Office stated that if an individual has two indicators, two vehicles will be sold this year. After the indicators are vacated, the two indicators can still be purchased after the implementation of the New Deal. Two new cars, but if the vehicles under the two indicators are sold after the implementation of the New Deal, only one new car can be updated in accordance with the new regulations.
In response to the surge in transfer business, the Beijing used car market has also started a seven-day work week.
On the basis of maintaining the original transfer from Monday to Saturday, the transfer service on Sunday will be added, and the transaction will continue on December 13 and December 20. The acceptance time is the same as other working days.

The huge market demand makes the agency intermediaries earn a lot of money.
"Everyone is anxious to buy a car to account for the indicator. During the recent period, it is no problem to trade a dozen mid-to-high-end used cars a day." A staff member of a used car brokerage company said.
It's just that the money seems to be not easy to make.
Lu Tianyi, who has gone through the registration procedures for new cars, said that looking for an agency, the cost of licensing a new car is about 1,500 yuan, and the cost of a second-hand car is 1,500-3,000 yuan. It will be based on the condition of the second-hand car, whether there is modification, decoration, etc. To collect fees.
"Business is generally not good in the first half of this year. Recently, I have seen that the original colleagues in the circle of friends are very busy and they are queuing to transfer their accounts. The business is really good, but it is really not easy in the cold weather."
There are too many people selling cars, and some used cars fall in price by tens of thousands
With the rapid increase in the number of transfers of second-hand cars, the closing prices of second-hand cars are also falling.
On December 17, after more than a week of consultation, Dai Nan, a car owner in Chaoyang District, Beijing, finally made up his mind to sell the Magotan that had been in his home for two or three years.
Six months ago, after he saw the news about the orderly withdrawal of the second license plate under his own name, he thought about what to do with the car, but he never made a move.
As a result, as soon as the New Deal was implemented, the quotation of used car dealers was immediately reduced by more than 10,000 yuan.
In fact, car owners are not alone in price reduction.
Many car owners said on social media and forums that before and after the release of the New Deal, the price of their car was reduced by thousands to tens of thousands of yuan.
The car dealer’s reply was straightforward: “As soon as the New Deal comes out, the indicator can’t be updated and it’s just waiting to be invalidated. The market is like this. The price is already available. You don’t sell it and others sell it.”

In order to sell a Mercedes-Benz R350 in hand, Mr. Li asked many second-hand car dealers in Beijing, but the price never met expectations.
"Recently, I was anxious to sell cars, but the used car dealers only gave 150,000 yuan, which is much lower than I thought."
"If a month ago, the price of this car should be more than 180,000 yuan." A second-hand car dealer said that now car owners are anxious to sell cars and the source of cars increases. The collection of second-hand car dealers depends on the market. At present, regardless of high school Prices of low-end models have generally fallen compared to a month ago.
Second-hand car dealers also have their own worries.
"We also need to look at market conditions when we receive cars. The closing prices of high-end models have not dropped much, and the prices of mid- and low-end models have dropped by almost 20%. Many of the cars sold are older National III and National IV models, which are no longer available in Beijing. For sales, we need to move to a region with relatively loose emission standards. Car owners feel that we are lowering the price too much, but it is not easy for us. The market is like this. Transfer and relocation are all costs and have to be included." A second-hand car dealer said.
It is worth noting that insufficient indicators of some second-hand car dealers have also become one of the reasons for the decline in car prices.
"Many of us are also personal indicators of renting. These cars must be sold this year, or they will all be smashed."

Selling old for new, popular models in 4S shops are hard to find
Also affected by the market is Mr. Zhang who wants to replace the Audi A6L.
At the end of the previous year, it was the time when car dealers offered greater incentives, but there were more cars sold and more cars bought, and this year's discounts were reduced.
The new Audi A6L car that Mr. Zhang liked, after more than ten days of work, the terminal discount has been reduced from 20% to 14%, and the collection price of old cars has been suppressed, which together cost nearly 40,000 yuan more than expected .
"Many popular models are hard to find." According to a CCTV financial report, I visited a number of car sales 4S stores in Beijing. The staff said that recently many car owners have chosen to sell their old cars or scrap their cars. Buy a new car immediately.
As a result, some of the popular models in the store have been sold out, and some even have a small price increase.
According to the China Voice of the Central Radio and Television Station, the supply of new cars in 4S stores is in short supply. Sales of 4S stores have stated that many hot-selling models are not available now, and even some prototype cars in the exhibition hall are sold out.
“Maybe everyone hasn’t thoroughly studied the policies that have just come out, and they are all anxious to buy a car and settle down.” Some insiders said that in fact, as long as it is between January 1st and December 31st, 2020, the transfer, transfer or transfer of vehicles has been completed. Those who have cancelled their registration can apply to update their indicators at any time in the future, and there is no need to apply for updated indicators before the implementation of the New Deal.
