Whether it's worth buying or not, you should take it for a high-speed test drive. Some cars may experience resonance under the driver's feet at high speeds. Here are some considerations when purchasing a used car: 1. Check the electronic devices inside the car: Test the functionality of the electronic devices and buttons, as well as the sunroof's operation—remember to open and close it several times. 2. Inspect the A-pillar for cracks to determine accident history: Look for any welding marks on the A-pillar. While this method seems straightforward and effective, be cautious as some cars' seals may not fit back properly once removed, making it difficult to restore them to their original position, and there's a risk of breaking the clips on the interior panels.

Should the Purchase Tax be Paid to the 4S Store or the Vehicle Management Office?

Payment of the purchase tax is generally handled by the local tax authorities. The vehicle management office is only responsible for vehicle registration. However, there is a time limit for this payment—within 60 working days from the date of purchase. Failure to pay within this period will result in a 5% late fee. Below are the relevant details about the vehicle purchase tax: 1. Introduction One: The purchase tax is a levy imposed on units and individuals purchasing vehicles within the country. It evolved from the vehicle purchase surcharge. If the consumer buys a domestic private vehicle, the taxable price includes the full payment made to the dealer and any additional fees, excluding the value-added tax (VAT) at a rate of 17%. 2. Introduction Two: Since the purchase price on the special invoice for motor vehicle sales includes VAT, the 17% VAT must first be deducted when calculating the vehicle purchase tax. That is, the taxable price for the vehicle purchase tax = invoice price ÷ 1.17, and then the vehicle purchase tax is calculated at a rate of 10%.

What is the shifting speed?

1st gear speed is generally around 10 km/h. 2nd gear serves as the transition gear for acceleration after starting, with a speed typically around 20 km/h. 3rd gear is used at speeds between 20-40 km/h, 4th gear at 40-60 km/h, and 5th gear can be engaged when reaching 60 km/h. Shifting techniques are introduced as follows: 1. Tip one: Memorize the positions of all gears clearly, especially the R gear. Be absolutely certain about the exact location of the R gear. 2. Tip two: Fully depress the clutch when shifting gears. Avoid rough shifting; movements should be gentle. Hold the gear lever head with your palm facing downward and fingers naturally gripping it. 3. Tip three: Never skip gears when shifting up or down; always shift sequentially. 4. Tip four: Keep your eyes on the road ahead at all times while driving. Even when needing to shift gears, do not divert your gaze. 5. Tip five: Throttle speed should match the gear position. Upshifting must follow the step-by-step sequence, gradually increasing through 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears based on the RPM displayed on the tachometer. 6. Tip six: Don't rush to downshift. When lightly applying the brake without significant speed reduction, simply pressing the accelerator again allows maintaining the current gear.
