Is It Worthwhile to Trade in an Old Car for a New One?

Whether trading in an old car for a new one at a 4S dealership is cost-effective depends on the specific circumstances. The trade-in price at a 4S dealership is set according to the manufacturer's requirements, which differs from the practices of external used car dealers. There are many used car dealers, and they lack unified pricing and inspection standards for vehicles. In other words, the price offered by external used car dealers is negotiable and often much higher than the trade-in price at a 4S dealership. Of course, many people believe that trading in an old car at a 4S dealership for a new one comes with subsidies, but these subsidies are not always available. Even when they are, the amount is usually minimal, and some dealers may impose additional conditions to fulfill them. If the 4S dealership offers manufacturer subsidies, and the car is older, in average condition, or even has been involved in an accident, it is advisable to trade it in at the 4S dealership. The price difference with external used car dealers won’t be significant, and it saves time and effort by avoiding the need to shop around. If the car is simply older but in good condition, it is not recommended to trade it in at a 4S dealership. If the manufacturer does not offer subsidies, the so-called trade-in subsidy promoted by the 4S dealership is essentially using the used car's purchase price to offset part of the new car's price. In such cases, the 4S dealership's offer for the used car is usually not very high, and some even do not allow price negotiations, whereas the price from used car dealers can still be discussed. In conclusion, when considering trading in an old car for a new one at a 4S dealership, it is best to compare options from multiple sources to choose the most suitable price and minimize losses from selling or trading in the old car. If the purpose of trading in the old car at the 4S dealership is solely to avail of the subsidy, then it might be acceptable. However, if the goal is simply to exchange for a new car, it is generally not advisable, as the trade-in process can be troublesome, the price is often low, and selling the old car to a used car dealer is usually a better option.

What Happens If You Don't Replace Spark Plugs?

If spark plugs are not replaced for a long time, it can lead to various issues such as leakage in the vehicle's ignition system, increased fuel consumption, reduced power output, and most importantly, difficulty in ignition, which affects the normal operation of the vehicle. Severe erosion of the spark plug—such as blistering at the top, damage, or melted electrodes—indicates that the spark plug is damaged and should be replaced. Methods to determine if a spark plug is damaged: Remove the spark plug and observe its appearance. The condition of the spark plug can be judged based on its color. A normal spark plug has an insulator skirt and electrodes that appear gray-white, gray-yellow, or light brown. A properly functioning spark plug has a reddish-brown insulator skirt, with an electrode gap between 0.8-0.9mm and no signs of electrode burn. If the spark plug is covered in oil or deposits but is not damaged, it can continue to be used after cleaning off the oil and deposits. If the spark plug is severely damaged—showing signs of blistering, black streaks, cracks, or melted electrodes—the cause of the damage should be identified. After troubleshooting, replace the spark plug with a new one. Additionally, if the spark plug appears black as if smoked, it indicates that the wrong heat range was selected or that the air-fuel mixture is too rich, or there is oil leakage.
