Yes, it is still advisable because, although the manufacturing date exceeds 6 months, the vehicle is generally still in a new condition. However, the following points should be noted when purchasing: Vehicle Price: When negotiating the price with the salesperson based on the duration the car has been in stock, this factor should be appropriately considered. This is because, during future used car transactions, most used car appraisers will reference the manufacturing date for valuation. Engine Oil Condition: Many car manufacturers specify the maintenance cycle for engine oil and oil filters based on two parameters: the vehicle's mileage and, more critically, the duration of oil usage. Tire Condition: If the stock car remains stationary for extended periods and the tires are not maintained at high pressure, it can lead to deformation of the tire rubber, posing a potential risk of vehicle body vibration.

How to Solve Drowsiness While Driving?

Here are specific methods to avoid drowsiness while driving: 1. Use the external air circulation more often. If the car remains in internal air circulation for a long time, the overall air quality inside the car will decrease, and the oxygen level will be particularly low. This can lead to brain hypoxia, which easily causes drowsiness. Therefore, it's advisable to use internal circulation more frequently or alternate between internal and external circulation to let fresh air in, which can help refresh the mind. 2. Keep mentholatum or essential balm handy. Apply some mentholatum or essential balm to your temples to stimulate nerve sensations. 3. Expand your field of vision to relax the optic nerves. Staring straight ahead for a long time can easily lead to fatigue. Besides regularly checking the rearview mirror, you can also occasionally glance at the slightly broader surroundings to give your eyes some relief.

What kind of adhesive should be used for exhaust pipe leaks?

When there is a leak in the exhaust pipe, simply using adhesive for repair is not feasible. After all, the temperature of the exhaust pipe is quite high, which reduces the adhesive's bonding capability. Over time, leaks may still occur. Here are some relevant details: 1. Location: The impact of an exhaust pipe leak depends on its specific location. If the leak is at the tail end, it may not have any effect. 2. Weak acceleration: If the leak is at the front section, it can lead to a decrease in exhaust back pressure, resulting in reduced torque at low speeds and weaker acceleration, indirectly increasing fuel consumption. However, at high speeds, the exhaust flow becomes smoother, potentially improving power. Exhaust pipe leaks have a greater impact on turbocharged models and a lesser effect on naturally aspirated engines.
