A car that has been in stock for more than 6 months after production can be defined as a stock vehicle. The methods to identify a stock vehicle are: 1. Check the production nameplate: Located below the B-pillar on the right side of the vehicle, the nameplate indicates the production date, engine parameters, and other information. 2. Inspect the glass: The production date and year of the glass are marked on the car windows. 3. Examine the tires: Determine the production time by checking the tire's production date. 4. Open the engine compartment: Check if the engine is clean. Considerations when buying a car: 1. Choose the brand and model. 2. Select the price range. 3. Communicate rationally with the salesperson. 4. Choose the configuration. 5. Pay attention to the contract. 6. Verify if all relevant car documents are complete. 7. Inspect the exterior paint and interior for any damage. 8. Ensure the production date on the vehicle nameplate matches the car's documents. 9. Check if the engine works properly and if basic vehicle functions are normal.

How to adjust the left and right rearview mirrors of a car?

Check the vehicle's environmental protection label, which has clear markings on the back. Log in to the website of the Motor Vehicle Exhaust Pollution Supervision and Management Center to inquire. Take the vehicle registration certificate (original or copy) to the vehicle management office for inquiry. For new cars, you can find the vehicle's factory certificate. Make a rough distinction based on the year the car was licensed.

What does a sequential turn signal mean?

Sequential turn signals are important indicator lights that activate when a vehicle is turning to alert surrounding vehicles and pedestrians. Additional information is as follows: 1. Circuit damage in rainy conditions: Currently, the wiring connected to the rear of sequential turn signals lacks waterproof measures on the exterior. When rainwater accidentally seeps inside during rainy weather, it drips directly onto the connection points between the wiring and the power supply, leading to circuit damage. 2. Sequential turn signals: Presently, the frames of automotive lights only feature a single-layer cover. This makes it inconvenient to use both the internal sequential turn signals and headlights when the cover is damaged. Moreover, prolonged use of sequential turn signals and headlights generates high heat, which can easily affect the wiring. Therefore, there is a need for an improved sequential turn signal design.

Do small cars need annual inspections every year?

Generally, small cars do not require annual inspections every year. Below are the relevant regulations for small car inspections: 1. 6-year exemption: New passenger cars with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) are exempt from inspections for the first 6 years. After 6 years, they need to be inspected once a year, and after 15 years, they need to be inspected every six months. 2. Regulations for vehicles involved in major accidents: Newly purchased small family cars with 7 seats or fewer (including 7 seats) do not require on-site inspections within the first 6 years, but cars involved in major accidents still need to undergo on-site inspections. 3. No inspection but must obtain relevant labels: Although new cars do not require on-site inspections, they must still obtain the annual inspection sticker and environmental protection inspection compliance sticker from the vehicle management office every two years. To obtain these, bring the vehicle registration certificate and the current valid compulsory traffic insurance policy to the designated window for direct collection, with no fees required.
