As a car enthusiast, I followed the BAIC Huansu S3L, which has indeed been discontinued from the market. This happened around 2020, primarily due to brand restructuring and the intense competition in the SUV market leading to declining sales. New vehicles are no longer available now, but some can still be found in the used car market, with prices ranging from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand, depending on the condition and age of the vehicle. It's worth noting that post-discontinuation, maintenance can be a bit troublesome as original factory parts become scarce, and one has to rely on third-party suppliers. If you're considering buying a car, BAIC's newer series like the BJ40 might be more worth your attention, offering upgraded configurations for better safety and comfort. Overall, this car once offered good value for money, but its discontinuation reflects the rapid iteration of domestic brands. When buying a car, opting for current models is more hassle-free to avoid high maintenance costs later on.

A friend of mine drove a BAIC Huansu S3L a couple of years ago. He said the car had average power but decent space, and the cost-performance ratio was acceptable. However, it's been discontinued for quite some time now. According to dealer information, production likely stopped around 2020, possibly due to internal brand restructuring, which affected many models at the time. If you want to buy one now, you'll have to look for used cars, but be cautious about the vehicle condition and mileage. In terms of maintenance, basic parts like headlights and tires are still available, but electronic component issues might take some time to resolve. If you're currently car shopping, you might want to consider other domestic brand SUVs like the Haval H6 or Changan CS75, which have upgraded safety features and are more practical. In short, this serves as a reminder to stay updated on model refreshes to avoid purchasing outdated vehicles that could impact your driving experience.

The BAIC Huansu S3L has indeed been discontinued. According to my research, production ceased in 2020. This was likely due to market changes and intense competition from similar models, which led to low sales volume. Currently, new vehicles are unavailable, and you can only try your luck on second-hand trading platforms. While spare parts supply has decreased for repairs, routine maintenance is still manageable. I recommend considering newer models as replacements for better reliability.

Who is responsible for performing the secondary maintenance of a vehicle?

Secondary maintenance is a vehicle maintenance operation performed by maintenance enterprises. In addition to the primary maintenance tasks, it mainly involves inspecting and adjusting safety components that are prone to wear or deformation after a certain period of use, such as steering knuckles, steering rocker arms, brake shoes, and suspensions, as well as disassembling and inspecting tires for rotation. The mileage intervals for secondary maintenance vary among different brands and models, and should be determined based on the maintenance manual of the specific vehicle. The main contents include the following aspects: 1. Engine section: Inspect cylinder pressure or vacuum, and check for oil leaks in oil seals and the rear bearing of the crankshaft. 2. Clutch and transmission section: Check the effectiveness of the clutch and the bolts of the bottom cover, adjust the free travel of the pedal, and apply grease to the pedal shaft.

What Are the Types of Brakes?

Here is the classification of brakes: 1. Brakes: Divided into industrial brakes and automotive brakes, the braking system can be categorized into mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, electromagnetic, and other types. The general working principle of the braking system is to use the mutual friction between non-rotating components connected to the vehicle body (or frame) and rotating components connected to the wheels (or drive shaft) to hinder the rotation or tendency of rotation of the wheels. 2. According to the structural form of the braking component: It can be divided into external block brakes, internal expanding shoe brakes, band brakes, disc brakes, etc. 3. According to the working state of the braking component: It can be divided into normally closed brakes (usually in a tightened state, requiring external force to release the brake) and normally open brakes (usually in a released state, requiring external force to apply the brake). 4. According to the control method: It can be divided into manually operated, hydraulically operated, pneumatically operated, and electromagnetically operated brakes.

What are the shifting techniques when there is no synchronizer?

When operating a transmission without a synchronizer, the shifting technique is to use the "double-clutching method", which can ensure smooth gear shifting. Here is some knowledge about synchronizers: 1. Classification and structure: Synchronizers come in various forms such as constant-pressure type, inertial type, and self-energizing type. Currently, the inertial synchronizer is widely used. It mainly consists of a coupling sleeve and a synchronizer ring, and its characteristic is achieving synchronization through friction. 2. Inertial synchronizer: Like the constant-pressure synchronizer, it achieves synchronization through friction. However, it can structurally ensure that the coupling sleeve and the spline gear ring to be engaged cannot come into contact before synchronization is achieved, thereby avoiding gear impact and noise.

How to Reapply for a Complete Set of Car Documents if Lost?

When the complete set of car documents is lost, bring relevant certificates to the 4S shop or vehicle management office for reapplication. Here is an introduction to the reapplication process: 1. Reapplication of the Vehicle License: If the vehicle license is lost or damaged, apply for a replacement at the vehicle management office of the registration location. When applying, the vehicle owner should fill out the application form and submit identity proof. The vehicle management office should reissue or replace the vehicle license within one day from the date of acceptance. 2. Reapplication of the Car Purchase Invoice: If lost within five years, go to the 4S shop to find a copy, then have the 4S shop stamp it with the financial seal, and then go to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to stamp the industrial and commercial verification seal. The owner must handle this in person; it cannot be done by others.

Is Shifting Gears in an Automatic Transmission Difficult?

Here are the reasons why shifting gears in an automatic transmission might be difficult: 1. Operational Aspects: Incorrect operation by the driver, with speed and gear not matching. 2. Clutch-Related Issues: Rust on the transmission input shaft, preventing normal movement of the clutch driven plate, poor return, making it difficult for the gear to engage along the normal path, resulting in difficult gear shifting; clutch failure, causing insufficient clutch separation travel, leading to incomplete clutch separation and inability to engage gears. 3. Transmission-Related Issues: Old transmission oil needing replacement. If not replaced in time, its lubrication effect decreases, making gear shifting difficult; new car transmission components not yet reaching optimal running-in state, leading to difficult gear shifting; cold temperatures causing the viscosity of gear oil in the transmission to not reach optimal levels, reducing lubrication effect and thus making gear shifting difficult.

Is Personal Presence Required for Auto Insurance Transfer?

Personal presence is not mandatory for transferring auto insurance. Below are relevant details: 1. Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance: Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance [full name: Motor Vehicle Traffic Accident Liability Compulsory Insurance] is China's first compulsory insurance system implemented by national law. 2. Vehicle Damage Insurance: Vehicle Damage Insurance covers losses to the insured vehicle caused by natural disasters (excluding earthquakes) or accidents within the insurance liability scope, with compensation provided by the insurer according to the insurance contract. 3. Third-Party Liability Insurance: This covers compensation for bodily injury or direct property damage to others (third parties) caused by accidents involving the insured vehicle. Collisions or hitting pedestrians are among the most feared scenarios, where not only is one's own vehicle damaged, but substantial compensation may also be required. Since the Compulsory Traffic Accident Liability Insurance (2008 version) offers relatively low compensation for third-party medical expenses and property losses, purchasing Third-Party Liability Insurance as a supplement is advisable even if Compulsory Insurance is already in place.
