When I first bought my car, I had the 4S dealership handle the license plate registration for me, which saved a lot of hassle. Remember to bring your ID card, car purchase invoice, original vehicle qualification certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance policy. They took me to the tax bureau to pay the vehicle purchase tax, and only after obtaining the tax payment certificate could we go to the vehicle management office. Choosing the license plate number was quite thrilling—during the '50 choose 1' selection, the numbers were jumping wildly on the screen, and I ended up picking one with '88'. When the staff was making a rubbing of the chassis number, they also reminded me not to apply dark window tints on the car body, saying it wouldn’t pass the inspection. The whole process took about three days, and I didn’t feel completely at ease driving on the road until I got the green vehicle registration book and the driving license.

Does a flooded engine count as a water-damaged vehicle?

Does a flooded engine count as a water-damaged vehicle? Introduction to water-damaged vehicles: After a vehicle has been submerged in water, it is difficult to dry the water inside the seats and floor. When the vehicle is exposed to sunlight, the high temperature turns the interior into a steamer, and the excessive moisture can corrode electronic components through the floor and other areas. Hazards of water-damaged vehicles: Areas where water has entered are prone to short circuits in the electrical system and may even cause damage to the vehicle. The various adverse effects on the vehicle's components are most directly reflected in the engine and electronic equipment. There may be no immediate issues shortly after the flooding, but after two or three months, unexplained faults may start to appear one after another.

Is Vehicle Seat Modification Illegal?

Car seat modification is not illegal. Traffic regulations have less stringent requirements for vehicle interior modifications compared to exterior changes, as long as the internal layout of the vehicle is not altered. For example, adding or removing seats constitutes a change to the vehicle's internal layout. In simple terms, converting a seven-seater into a six-seater is not allowed, nor is converting a five-seater into a seven-seater. Regulations on vehicle interior seat modification: Illegal vehicle modifications refer to alterations to the appearance, power system, transmission system, or braking system that are not permitted by national laws or exceed the original manufacturer's design load capacity and functionality. Legal interior modifications include changes to interior facilities, such as replacing the steering wheel, installing sport seats, adding instrument equipment, or sound-deadening materials.
