You can get an out-of-town license plate when buying a used car in another city. Legal provisions: According to relevant laws, when purchasing a used car in another city, you can directly register the license plate in the vehicle's location or return to your own location to register the plate. If you choose to register the plate in your own location, it involves the issue of relocating the vehicle. First, you need to check the emission standards at the vehicle management office in the relocation area. Precautions when buying a used car: Before transferring ownership, make sure to check if the vehicle has any unpaid traffic fines to avoid unnecessary complications during the transfer process. Verify the local emission standards. After confirming that the emission standards are met, carefully check if all other vehicle documents are complete. Then, compare the engine number and chassis number on the documents with those on the vehicle. Additionally, try to go through the transfer procedures together with the original owner.

Is It Normal for a New Car's Engine Compartment to Be Very Dirty?

It is not normal. If a new car's engine compartment has a significant amount of dust and mud, it may indicate that the vehicle has experienced issues (such as flooding, accidents, refurbishment, etc.), or it could be an overstocked vehicle. Below are specific details about overstocked vehicles: 1. Prone to Moisture and Aging: After leaving the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires in a new car can easily suffer from moisture damage and aging if they are not periodically inspected and maintained during prolonged storage. 2. Component Aging: For overstocked vehicles that have been stored for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products is often undetectable without professional testing equipment. Many overstocked vehicles also experience issues like lack of oil or power.

Do New Cars Need Break-In Oil?

New cars do not require additional break-in oil during the break-in period. Here are some important considerations for new car usage: 1. Avoid overloading: Carrying excessive weight during the break-in period can damage mechanical components. Since the powertrain components haven't fully broken in yet, aggressive acceleration may cause irreversible damage. Therefore, it's essential to follow the "slow and steady" principle during break-in. 2. Speed limitations: There are speed restrictions for new cars during break-in - typically 40-70 km/h for domestic vehicles and about 100 km/h for imported cars. When fully accelerating, the speed shouldn't exceed 80% of the maximum speed. The recommended engine RPM during break-in is between 2,000-4,000 rpm.

How long does it take to pick up the car after the VIN is issued?

Introduction: The VIN is the Vehicle Identification Number, an abbreviation of Vehicle-Identification-Number. 2. Regulations: According to SAE standards, the VIN consists of 17 characters, hence it is commonly referred to as the 17-digit code. It includes information such as the vehicle's manufacturer, year, model, body type and code, engine code, and assembly location.

What Are the Reasons for Lower Car Idle Speed Than Before?

Car idle speed refers to the operating state of the car when the engine is idling. The following are the reasons for lower car idle speed than before and their solutions: 1. The idle speed may have become lower due to a dirty throttle body. 2. Cleaning the throttle body is necessary, and the air filter should also be cleaned. Low idle speed can cause the following hazards: 1. With low idle speed, the car is prone to stalling when decelerating or stopping (commonly seen when waiting at traffic lights or slowing down for turns). 2. Low idle speed affects gear shifting. 3. For manual transmissions, excessively low idle speed makes it difficult to synchronize engine gears during shifting, compromising smoothness and potentially causing gear clashes and component wear. 4. During acceleration, it may result in insufficient power, preventing the car from performing optimally.
