In the event of an accident, the original owner will also bear joint liability. Below are the detailed explanations of the relevant content: Introduction: For the seller, if the ownership is not transferred, the original owner will still be jointly liable for any accidents involving the vehicle in the future. If there are outstanding traffic violations, the original owner will continue to receive notifications. For the buyer, without transferring the ownership, the vehicle is not legally theirs, making it impossible to claim insurance, and any future disputes could be troublesome. Required documents for transfer: The necessary documents include the original owner's ID card, vehicle registration certificate, purchase tax certificate, proof of payment for vehicle and vessel tax, motor vehicle registration certificate, vehicle inspection report from the criminal investigation department, insurance policy, and the buyer's ID card. Additionally, both parties must sign a used car sales contract. With all the aforementioned documents, proceed to the used car transfer office to complete the transfer procedures.

What tires correspond to 5.5j rims?

The J-number of a rim represents the width of the wheel in inches; 5.5j is slightly wider than 6j. Here is some relevant information about rims: 1. Introduction: A rim is the rotating part of the wheel that connects the tire's inner contour to the hub via spokes, i.e., the metal component mounted on the axle that supports the tire. It is also called a wheel rim, steel rim, or hubcap. Rims come in various types based on diameter, width, manufacturing method, and material. 2. Types of Rims: Rims are also known as wheel rims. Depending on the characteristics and requirements of different vehicle models, the surface treatment processes for rims vary, mainly divided into painting and plating. For ordinary vehicles, rims are less focused on appearance, with good heat dissipation being a basic requirement. The manufacturing process typically involves painting, where the rim is first sprayed and then baked, making it cost-effective, vibrant in color, and long-lasting. Even when the vehicle is scrapped, the rim's color remains unchanged.

What are the symptoms of insufficient refrigerant in a car's air conditioning system?

When the car's air conditioning system is low on refrigerant, the following symptoms may occur: During normal continuous operation of the air conditioning, if bubbles persistently appear in the sight glass, it indicates insufficient refrigerant and the need for a recharge. Open the car's hood and check the air conditioning system connections for oil stains. If present, this typically indicates a refrigerant shortage. It's recommended to clean the area before recharging. When the air conditioning is turned on, if bubbles appear in the sight glass every 1-2 seconds continuously; if there are oil stains at pipe connection points; or if there's no noticeable temperature difference between the high and low pressure sides when touched by hand - these all indicate minor refrigerant leakage in the system that requires replenishment. Users who have operated the system for more than six months should check both the indoor unit's pipe connections and outdoor unit's valves for obvious signs of oil leakage. Visible oil leakage indicates system leakage, as oil and refrigerant are mutually soluble - oil leakage means refrigerant leakage, and vice versa.

Can a Car Without the Green Book Be Mortgaged?

A car without the green book cannot be mortgaged. A mortgaged car cannot be transferred because the original owner has already mortgaged the "registration certificate" (green book) to a bank or financial institution when purchasing the car, and its status shows "mortgaged." The cover of the motor vehicle registration certificate is green, commonly referred to as the big green book. Below is extended information about the car green book: 1. Car Green Book: It refers to the motor vehicle registration certificate. The motor vehicle registration certificate is the legal proof of vehicle ownership, kept by the vehicle owner and not carried with the vehicle. If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, the vehicle owner should apply for a replacement or reissuance at the local vehicle management office. 2. Replacement: If the motor vehicle registration certificate is lost, missing, or damaged, and a replacement is required, the vehicle must also be inspected. The vehicle management office should confirm the vehicle and review the submitted proofs and documents within one day of acceptance, then reissue or replace the motor vehicle registration certificate.

Is There Any Difference Between the Two Car Keys?

Newly manufactured cars usually come with two keys, which are identical in style and function for the owner's convenience. Car keys can be categorized into three types: 1. Mechanical Key: Losing a mechanical key is both convenient and troublesome. The convenience lies in the fact that the primary key and the spare key are completely identical. If the primary key is lost, you can simply purchase a key blank and have a new key cut to match the spare key. The trouble is that if someone finds the lost key, they can easily open the door and start the vehicle. 2. Standard Remote Key: A standard remote key consists of a remote control and a mechanical key. If one remote is lost, you only need to take the spare remote and a newly purchased remote to the 4S store to have them rematched with the car. The lost remote will then become invalid. 3. Chip Key: If a chip key is lost, you can buy a new key and take both the spare key and the new key to the 4S store for rematching. In this case, the person who finds the key can at most use the mechanical key to open the door but cannot start the engine. Of course, the most permanent solution is to replace the mechanical lock.
