In the fierce competition to boost sales in the car market, Jike Automobile has been caught in a storm of false prosperity created by the use of "0 km second-hand cars". An investigation by journalists found that since May of this year, Jike, as an intelligent electric car brand under Zhejiang Geely Holding Group, has been accused of selling a large number of inventory vehicles that have already been insured and transferred as new cars through its direct store system, using tactics such as "limited-time discounts" to unsuspecting consumers, leading to a large number of complaints. It is worth mentioning that this operating method is intertwined with the abnormal sales volume of corporate accounts that Jike experienced in Shenzhen and Xiamen in December 2024, not only suspected of defrauding consumers, but also pushing the secret technique of "0 km second-hand cars" to the forefront, serving as a tool for inflating sales illegally. Information obtained by journalists from various complaint platforms and consumers shows that this practice by Jike is happening in many parts of the country: consumers in Guizhou, Chongqing, Guangzhou, and other places have found that the "new cars" they purchased have already been insured for mandatory traffic accident liability insurance, and have even been transferred, turning them into genuine "second-hand cars". When they demand rights protection and refunds, they are often faced with deflection or refusal.
