It is useful to only discuss the on-the-road price when buying a car. The on-the-road price truly reflects the actual cost of purchasing a car, so it is ultimately the price to focus on. However, the on-the-road price includes the ex-factory price, so generally, the ex-factory price is negotiated first. Only after determining the ex-factory price can the on-the-road price be known. Additionally, there are too many variable factors in the on-the-road price, and only after settling the ex-factory price can one clearly understand whether other charges are reasonable. Below are the differences between the ex-factory price and the on-the-road price: 1. The ex-factory price can be understood as the actual market price of the vehicle. 2. The on-the-road price refers to the total cost of purchasing a car, which includes not only the ex-factory price but also purchase tax, insurance fees, registration fees, vehicle decoration fees, financial service fees, loan interest, etc.

What happens if you put a steel wool ball in a car's exhaust pipe?

Putting a steel wool ball in a car's exhaust pipe can prevent the engine from starting. The exhaust pipe is designed to expel the waste gases produced by the engine after combustion. Blocking the exhaust pipe will affect the exhaust flow and the normal operation of the engine. A car's exhaust system consists of three sections: the header, mid-pipe, and tailpipe. The header, also known as the exhaust manifold, is visible when you open the engine hood. It contains the catalytic converter, which reduces the levels of pollutants in the exhaust gases. The mid-pipe is the longer section running along the car's underbody. The tailpipe is the section near the rear bumper. An overly free-flowing exhaust system can reduce low-end torque but improve high-end power performance. Conversely, a restrictive exhaust system can enhance low-end torque but limit high-end power performance.

Why is the handbrake light on the car dashboard flashing?

The reasons why the handbrake light on the car dashboard is flashing: 1. Poor contact of the handbrake indicator light on the dashboard, causing the light to flash; 2. Poor contact of the handbrake switch when the handbrake is pulled up; 3. Poor contact of the handbrake light's live wire, or a broken wire harness. Self-inspection methods: 1. Remove the handbrake protective cover; 2. Locate the handbrake switch and inspect it. You can use a multimeter to test the voltage of the red wire; 3. Unplug the wire connector of the handbrake switch. If the light on the dashboard continues to flash, it indicates a problem with the dashboard itself. If the light goes out after unplugging, it means the previous issue was caused by poor contact of the switch.
