The purpose of this worksheet is to turn a broad model-name search into a decision that can be checked, quoted and handed over without silently changing assumptions.
Continue the evidence route: Compare coverage inside the new-versus-used decision, reconcile workshops through the service and parts plan, and check regional functions in the software compatibility guide.
Identify the responsible market
Record original seller, first-use date, owner status and the entity issuing any written warranty.
Record: Save the source, capture date and VIN reference beside this finding so another candidate cannot inherit it by mistake.
Separate support categories
Keep warranty, safety campaign, service plan, goodwill and seller guarantee as different records.
Record: Enter the verified value and the evidence owner. If the seller supplied the answer, label it seller-stated until independently checked.
Request a dated VIN check
Ask an authorised source where available for current campaign and completed-action evidence.
Record: Record what was inspected, what remained inaccessible and who performed the check; silence is an open item, not a pass.
Review service compliance
Match required maintenance, invoices, mileage and time to the exact terms being claimed.
Record: Note every destination assumption behind this conclusion and reopen it when the port, buyer country or registration route changes.
Test destination support
Ask local workshops about diagnostics, software, mechanical parts, body parts and lead times.
Record: Attach the supporting photograph, report page or document reference and preserve the original language where translation could alter meaning.
Value only written coverage
If territorial or transfer approval is absent, price the vehicle and contingency as unsupported.
Record: State the commercial consequence: accept, reject, reprice or request more evidence, together with the person responsible and deadline.
Warranty is not automatically global
Coverage depends on written terms, territory, owner, time, mileage and maintenance.
A campaign check expires as evidence
Record the date and refresh it near payment and handover.
Software access is separate
An available mechanical part does not prove account, update or calibration support.
Unsupported can still be viable
The buyer must understand and budget the risk instead of relying on a verbal promise.
Ask the destination workshop specific questions
Replace a broad service question with the VIN, engine, transmission and required task. Ask about scan coverage, software access, keys, calibration, body parts and normal consumables. Record whether each answer is confirmed, conditional or unavailable and attach the date and workshop identity. A workshop able to service a related Geely product has not automatically confirmed Livan X3 Pro support.
Write the commercial fallback
State who pays if a campaign remedy, part or software function cannot be obtained after export. Include realistic freight, diagnosis and downtime rather than assigning value to an unconfirmed solution. The contract should not describe manufacturer coverage where only the seller has offered a limited promise. If the unsupported case remains affordable, record that deliberate acceptance instead of leaving warranty language ambiguous.
Refresh evidence when time passes
Warranty eligibility, open campaigns, seller authority, vehicle mileage and workshop capacity can change between shortlist and shipment. Set an expiry point for each support answer and repeat the material checks before final payment. Preserve the earlier response as history instead of overwriting it, so the buyer can see exactly which conclusion was current at commitment.
Primary market references
These official pages describe their own markets. Confirm the selected VIN and destination rules before using a figure.
Close the note with a decision record
Write the selected candidate, rejected alternatives, evidence reviewed, unresolved questions, responsible person and next deadline. If another vehicle replaces the candidate, reopen identity, inspection, cost and destination checks. A copied conclusion is not valid for a different VIN.

Questions buyers should still ask
Identify the responsible market: what should the buyer retain?
Retain the dated document, image or test result that closes “Identify the responsible market”, together with the VIN and the name of the person who supplied or checked it. A listing label alone is not sufficient evidence.
Separate support categories: what should the buyer retain?
For “Separate support categories”, write down what is verified and what remains an assumption. An open point may be acceptable, but it must stay visible in the price, inspection scope or handover conditions.
Request a dated VIN check: what should the buyer retain?
Recheck “Request a dated VIN check” if the vehicle, destination, route or responsible supplier changes. Conclusions belong to the candidate and dated evidence set; they should not be copied to a replacement VIN.
