Or are you referring to mainland-built cars (poor quality) but have the steering wheel secretly moved to the right to be able to drive in HK?
HK-China means those with mainland license plates. Actually some HK-China cars are only being used to commercial area in Shenzhen,which the condition could still be ok. But no matter how good the condition is, the petrol in China is still worse than HK and not good for turbo engines.

Not only Mercedes,BMW,Toyota owners fill up the tank before heading back to HK,but also Porsche,Bentley,Maserati owners do so.

The only way to distinguish HK-China cars is to check whether the front license plate area has been drilled 2 more holes and the chassis no under the body should be painted and the paint is not easy to be removed.

Anyway,good luck on car huntings!
