If the radiator frame is detachable and the vehicle's body frame has not been damaged, it can be purchased. If the radiator frame is not detachable, it should not be bought. Below is more information on purchasing used cars: Vehicle inspection: Check if the body is symmetrical and if the waistline of the car is even; inspect whether the factory nameplate is damaged—if it is, the vehicle has likely been in a major accident; observe if the production dates of all the glass match the manufacturing year—if not, find out why the glass was replaced; look for signs of crease repairs or screw marks on the radiator frame, left and right fenders, firewall, and wheel arches; check if the door seals are damaged; inspect the trunk floor and rear panel for signs of creasing, cutting, or welding, and ensure the rear fender and rear shock absorber bracket inner panels and internal seam lines are smooth, even, and free of welding marks; examine the dirt level on the front and rear longitudinal beams of the vehicle's chassis to see if they are roughly the same. Types of used cars not to buy: Smuggled, tax-free, or gifted vehicles; discontinued models; vehicles with outstanding payments; incomplete documentation; modified vehicles; cross-regional transactions. These types of vehicles are usually priced very low, but purchasing them can lead to various issues, so they should be avoided.

How to Maintain Your Car in Winter?

Winter car maintenance focuses on the wipers and windshield, as well as the body and chassis. Here is a detailed introduction to winter car maintenance: Wipers and Windshield: Due to weather conditions, wipers often stick to the windshield in winter. Do not force them off. Instead, turn on the car's air conditioning, set it to blow mode, and direct it toward the windshield to raise its temperature. This also helps check whether the heating system is functioning properly. Regularly clean the heating system to ensure good air quality inside the car. Body and Chassis: The car's exterior inevitably gets damaged while driving, and even when parked. In winter, with rain and snow, the car's surface is prone to corrosion. Roads are often treated with salt to melt snow quickly, and the tires can splash salt-laden snow water onto the chassis, causing rust. Therefore, before winter arrives, thoroughly inspect the car's body, repair any scratches promptly, and apply wax in early winter to protect the paint. A waxed body is less likely to get damp, and the chances of ice forming on the car in winter are significantly reduced. Additionally, perform anti-rust maintenance on the vehicle's chassis to extend its lifespan.
