A car with 30,000 kilometers in four years is not considered old. Mileage affects trade-in prices: Mileage will impact the trade-in price of a used car. Some owners mentioned in evaluation hotlines that although their cars are not old in terms of years, the high frequency of use has resulted in higher mileage. Used car appraisers point out that many factors influence the trade-in price of a used car, but the main ones are the car's condition, age, and mileage. Mileage is a key factor affecting the price of a used car. Criteria for judging a car's value: When assessing the value of a used car that appears to be in good condition, the mileage will largely determine its worth. A car with over 200,000 kilometers has little value, even if it hasn't been used for long. High mileage indicates frequent use and significant mechanical wear. Used car dealers are typically only interested in vehicles that have been driven 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers per year and well-maintained, as these cars can command the best prices.

How many kilometers can you drive after the brake pad warning?

You should not continue driving after the brake pad warning, otherwise there is a risk of brake failure. When the brake pad warning starts, it means the thickness of the brake pad has worn down to the limit mark, indicating that the brake pad is completely worn out. Therefore, it is recommended to go to a repair shop immediately for replacement. Below is an extended introduction: Brake pad introduction: Brake pads are consumables that gradually wear out during use. When they wear down to the limit position, they must be replaced; otherwise, braking performance will decrease, posing a safety hazard in severe cases. Replacing brake pads: Generally, when the thickness of the brake pads is less than 3MM, they need to be replaced. If you continue to use them and the brake pads wear out completely, the metal part of the brake pads will start to wear the brake disc, leading to reduced braking force. In this case, both the brake pads and the brake disc will need to be replaced.

What are the manifestations of remote locking for financed vehicles?

The manifestations of remote locking for financed vehicles include windows being locked and the engine stalling after ignition, with symptoms similar to fuel supply failure. If the vehicle is GPS-locked, the fuel line is blocked, or the main fuse is blown, remote unlocking is generally not possible as it has already caused internal mechanical damage. In such cases, the vehicle should be towed to a professional 4S shop for inspection and repair. However, some vehicles may have GPS-based remote locking functionality, which requires negotiation with the lending bank or auto loan institution. To resolve the issue, clear the overdue loan and request the GPS monitoring platform to unlock the vehicle's GPS. The GPS device is typically installed in concealed locations such as front and rear bumpers, the trunk, the glove compartment, or even inside the fuel tank. Details about overdue payments for financed vehicles are as follows: If the overdue payment reaches the point of legal action, the court may rule in favor of the lending institution to repossess the mortgaged vehicle, prioritizing repayment of the loan principal and interest. Any remaining balance after loan repayment will be returned to the driver. If the loan cannot be fully repaid, the driver is still responsible for settling the outstanding debt.

Can I Take the Subject 2 Driving Test During the Mid-Autumn Festival?

Whether the driving license test can be conducted during the Mid-Autumn Festival depends on the arrangements of the vehicle management office where you registered. Specifically, the test is conducted according to the scheduled exam time you booked, not by directly going to the test site. Below is an extended explanation: Booking exams at other test centers: If the vehicle management office cannot arrange a test within 60 days for applicants who have booked the Subject 2 or Subject 3 road driving skills test, they may choose to book the test at another test center within the same province (autonomous region, or municipality). The vehicle management office should use the nationally unified exam booking system, providing applicants with options to book exams via the internet, phone, or service windows.
