Buying a new car with under-invoicing has the following impacts: Lower valuation during second-hand transfer: If the invoice price provided to the car owner is low, when trying to sell the car, buyers will only refer to the price on the invoice, resulting in a lower selling price. When attempting to transfer the car, buyers will only consider the invoice price, leading to a lower transfer price. Difficulty in obtaining full compensation for theft or accident claims: Insurance coverage for theft and vehicle damage is generally calculated based on the invoice price. If the vehicle is stolen or involved in an accident, the owner may suffer losses and not receive full protection. Inadequate compensation when claiming from the manufacturer: When seeking compensation from the manufacturer for vehicle quality issues, it will be difficult to claim based on the actual purchase price, and compensation will only be calculated according to the invoice price.

What does AUTO mean when displayed on a car?

When AUTO is displayed on a car, it refers to the automatic function of the air conditioning system. Pressing AUTO turns on the air conditioning, which then controls the air outlet temperature based on the in-car sensors - providing warm air in winter and cool air in summer to maintain a comfortable cabin temperature. If the temperature becomes too high or too low, the system will automatically adjust both the air outlet temperature and fan speed to regulate the interior temperature. Vehicle dashboards feature various indicator or warning lights, including coolant level warning light, fuel level indicator, washer fluid indicator, charging indicator, high/low beam indicator, transmission gear position indicator, ABS warning light, traction control indicator, airbag warning light, and others.
