Solutions for purchasing a stock car are as follows: 1. Compensation: You can request the 4S store to replace the car, refund the purchase, and compensate for losses. 2. Contract: If the car is not replaced, demand a partial refund and negotiate for discounts on future maintenance and repairs. Ensure these maintenance and repair discounts are included in the purchase contract to prevent them from reneging. The automobile manufacturing industry places great emphasis on timeliness. Normally, the process from manufacturing to selling a new car to the buyer can be completed within one or two months. Cars that exceed 3 months or longer are generally considered stock cars. Since stock cars have been stored for a period of time, you can request the 4S store to inspect components such as engine oil, battery, rubber seals, and tires. If any wear or aging is found, replacements should be demanded.

As an experienced driver who has dealt with stock cars several times, I believe the first step is to thoroughly inspect the vehicle's condition. Stock cars are usually stored for long periods, which can lead to aging and deformation of tires, causing unusual noises while driving; the battery might be dead, making it hard to start; and brake discs could be rusty, requiring extra caution with braking distance on the road. After getting the car, take it to a professional repair shop immediately for a full inspection, including the engine compartment, fluids, and electronic systems. If any issues are found, confront the dealer right away—they often feel guilty and may offer discounts or free maintenance; if the condition is too poor, insist on a refund or a replacement. Buying a stock car is about saving money, but don’t just focus on the price. Pay attention to the warranty terms in the contract and include a 'no-questions-asked return or exchange' clause to avoid future disputes.

What is the problem when the engine light is on?

The reasons for the engine light being on are as follows: 1. Sensor issues: Sensors include water temperature, crankshaft position, air flow, intake temperature, oxygen sensors, etc. When these sensors are damaged, have poor contact, or signal interruption, the car's ECU cannot accurately obtain engine data, which will cause the engine fault light to illuminate. 2. Turbocharging issues: The intake turbocharging pipeline and turbocharger can also cause the engine fault light to illuminate. The most common issue is turbocharger damage, accompanied by symptoms such as oil leakage, high oil consumption, reduced power, metal noises, and blue or black smoke from the exhaust pipe. 3. Exhaust issues: Rear oxygen sensor, three-way catalytic converter, exhaust camshaft, and bearing shells. The most common issue is the three-way catalytic converter failure causing the engine fault light to illuminate. Using leaded gasoline, lead or silicon-containing lubricant additives, physical damage to the catalytic converter, and engine fuel supply system failures are some factors that can easily cause three-way catalytic converter failure. 4. Anti-theft system: If the car's electronic anti-theft system malfunctions, or if the anti-theft controller does not match the engine electronic controller, the anti-theft system can also cause the engine to not work properly, along with the engine fault light illuminating.

What are the contents of Subjects 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the driving test?

The contents of Subjects 1, 2, 3, and 4 in the driving test are as follows: 1. Subject 1: Mainly tests basic knowledge such as road traffic safety laws and regulations, traffic signals and their meanings, and traffic rules. With the new driving test regulations, Subject 1 is divided into 12 study hours, and students must complete all study hours before they can schedule the Subject 1 test. 2. Subject 2: Requires practical driving practice, with five mandatory test items: reversing into a parking space, parallel parking, stopping and starting on a slope, turning at a right angle, and driving on a curved path. Some regions may have additional items. 3. Subject 3: Road test, usually practiced at a driving school. The instructor teaches students 16 essential skills required for the test, after which they can schedule the test. The main test items include starting, driving straight, shifting gears, changing lanes, pulling over, passing through intersections straight, turning left at intersections, turning right at intersections, crossing pedestrian crossings, passing through school zones, passing through bus stops, meeting other vehicles, overtaking, making U-turns, and driving at night—totaling 16 items. 4. Subject 4: Theoretical knowledge test, building on the basics of Subject 1, it assesses the driver's response methods in critical situations through more practical case studies and animations.

What is the solution for high water temperature during traffic congestion?

When encountering high water temperature during traffic congestion, the solution is to keep the car idling without turning off the engine. Even when arriving home or at the destination, allow the car to idle for 3 to 5 minutes before completely shutting it off. If the temperature remains high after idling for more than 5 minutes, it may indicate a faulty circulation water pump or a blockage in the circulation system pipes, leading to poor circulation. Below is relevant information about high car water temperature: 1. Car cooling systems are divided into two types: water cooling and air cooling (also known as air-cooling). Mid-range and low-end vehicles typically use air cooling, while high-end luxury cars mostly employ water cooling. Water cooling systems can be further categorized into passive water cooling and active electric water pump circulation cooling. Modern vehicles with water cooling systems are generally of the active type. 2. When the car stops, the electric water pump ceases to operate. Once the car starts moving, the electric water pump begins working, facilitating the circulation of cold and hot water to achieve temperature alternation and cooling. Otherwise, the system may experience uneven cooling and heating.

Why are used Besturn B50 cars so cheap?

There are three main reasons why used Besturn B50 cars are cheap: First, the original pricing was not high; second, poor new car sales led to continuous price reductions, causing depreciation in the used car market; third, ineffective marketing resulted in limited consumer awareness. Additional information is as follows: Introduction to the Besturn B50: The Besturn B50 is a compact sedan independently developed by FAW Group. It excels in various aspects such as handling, quality, and space. Although it has been discontinued, there are still many used models available in the market. However, the Besturn B50 has a low resale value in the used car market, with a three to five-year resale rate of approximately 43.9% and 35% respectively.

What is the purpose of ECU tuning for a car?

ECU tuning essentially involves modifying the database. Its purpose is to alter the data controlling the engine, thereby influencing the engine's operation to achieve desired effects within the engine's tolerable limits. The ECU (Engine Control Unit) is the car's computer, and tuning it can either enhance or reduce engine power. Below is an introduction to ECU-related aspects: 1. Areas ECU can influence: The operation of a car's engine is controlled by the ECU. The ECU regulates the engine's air intake, fuel injection quantity, ignition timing, etc., thereby determining the engine's operational efficiency, power, torque, and more. 2. Principle: Information such as air intake, fuel injection quantity, and ignition timing corresponding to various engine speeds, gears, loads, temperatures, etc., is recorded in the ECU in the form of a database. This database is referred to as the "M.A.P."
