You don't necessarily have to buy a car at a 4S store. There are now various ways to purchase a car, including not only 4S stores but also auto trade stores, second-hand markets, and even online platforms. Here are the relevant details: 1. Buying from a 4S store: Purchasing from a 4S store is the most mainstream method because it ensures quality and provides comprehensive after-sales services such as maintenance and repairs. However, the downside is that prices are generally higher. 2. Buying from an auto trade store: This is equivalent to purchasing from a secondary dealer, where prices are usually cheaper. However, the quality of cars can vary, and some auto trade stores may mix inventory cars with problematic vehicles. Additionally, there might be issues with the car's warranty, so it's essential to clarify all relevant details to avoid unnecessary trouble. 3. Buying from a second-hand market: As the name suggests, most cars here are used. If you're not particular about the car's condition, you can find some 'nearly new' cars at a lower price, enjoying a better car life at a reduced cost. 4. Buying online: This is a new way to purchase cars, mainly focusing on some new energy vehicles or small cars. After selecting the model and configuration on the car's official website, you can pay a deposit or the full amount, and a specialized towing service will deliver the car to your doorstep, greatly enhancing the car-buying experience.

Does Not Straightening the Steering Wheel Have Any Impact?

Not straightening the steering wheel does have impacts, including: 1. It causes uneven force distribution on the tires, accelerating the aging and deformation of the tire sidewalls, leading to air leakage or tire blowouts; 2. It accelerates the aging or deformation of steering mechanism components, resulting in vehicle deviation and uneven tire wear; 3. It causes the damping rubber in the suspension system to age, creating play in the connections between the suspension's swing arms and links, with greater play leading to more severe wear in the suspension system. Methods to avoid not straightening the steering wheel: 1. Observe the angle of the steering wheel after parking; 2. Judge based on the number of turns of the steering wheel; 3. Use forward and backward movement of the vehicle to make adjustments; 4. Stick your head out of the window to observe the angle of the tires.

Can Gasoline Be Extracted from a Car's Fuel Tank?

Yes, gasoline can be extracted from a car's fuel tank. Here are the methods to extract fuel from a car's fuel tank: 1. Drive the vehicle onto a steep slope, turn off the engine, and engage the handbrake; 2. Open the fuel tank and insert a plastic hose; 3. Place the other end of the plastic hose into your mouth and suck hard, being careful not to get fuel into your mouth; 4. Once the fuel starts flowing, place the end of the plastic hose into a container to collect the fuel and let it drain naturally. The fuel tank is a container used in vehicles like cars or airplanes to store fuel, and it is a specialized container in hydraulic systems for storing hydraulic oil. The fuel tank can store gasoline, dissipate heat, and separate air bubbles from the oil. It can be categorized into open-type and closed-type fuel tanks.

Why does the car stall immediately after starting?

The reasons for a car stalling immediately after starting are: 1. Stalling caused by carbon deposits: Carbon deposits can accumulate in the throttle valve, spark plugs, cylinders, fuel lines, intake passages, etc. These are a coking-like substance produced by fuel under high temperatures, which is difficult to remove physically and requires cleaning with a chemical cleaner; 2. Fuel quality and clogged fuel injectors: Using low-quality fuel can produce more carbon deposits, clogging the fuel injectors and resulting in poor atomization; 3. Ignition system issues: Severe carbon buildup on spark plugs and insufficient ignition voltage; 4. Power supply problems: The car battery is severely depleted, making it difficult for the engine to start.

What are the symptoms of a broken car stabilizer bar?

The symptoms of a broken car stabilizer bar are: 1. Noise when driving on rough roads; 2. No abnormal noise when driving on paved roads; 3. Increased body roll when the car is cornering. The car stabilizer bar is a device that connects the shock absorbers of the left and right wheels on the same axle, which helps reduce the body roll generated when the car is cornering. The function of the stabilizer bar is to generate anti-roll resistance to suppress body roll when the left and right wheels are at different heights, preventing torsion of the bar. The stabilizer bar does not function when the left and right suspensions move up and down synchronously. It only comes into play when the left and right suspensions move asynchronously due to road undulations or cornering.
