Buying a used car requires attention to the following details: Exterior: Some used cars have been involved in accidents. To increase the value of these vehicles, dealers may refurbish them, repaint the car to make it look newer. Therefore, when buying a used car, it's important to carefully inspect the exterior, check all corners and parts of the car for signs of repainting, and look for wear on the tires, headlights, and bumpers. Key components: After a car has been in an accident, even if the exterior is well repaired, the frame and chassis are difficult to restore. If you notice any deformation or bending, be cautious as the car might be a salvage vehicle.

What are the possible reasons for severe vibration in the Teana?

Severe vibration in the Teana is likely caused by the following reasons. Severe engine carbon deposits: The most common cause of car vibration is excessive dirt in the throttle body or carbon buildup in the fuel injectors. When there is too much carbon deposit inside the engine, the gasoline sprayed by the cold start injector will be largely absorbed by the carbon deposits. Engine misfire: Engine misfire mainly refers to one or more cylinders not working properly, manifested as obvious intermittent exhaust gas flow and severe shaking of the exhaust pipe, with noticeable engine vibration. Inconsistent air-fuel mixture: When the engine's air-fuel mixture is sometimes lean and sometimes rich, it causes idle vibration after a cold start. The lower the temperature, the more fuel is required for a cold start.

What is metallic car paint?

Metallic car paint refers to an automotive coating formulated with metal powders such as copper or aluminum as pigments. This type of paint incorporates metallic particles into the paint mixture, giving the painted panel surface a sparkling appearance. Under different viewing angles, the refraction of light causes variations in the vehicle's color and contours. Methods for maintaining automotive paint include: 1. Promptly remove dust from the vehicle body to minimize static electricity's attraction of dust; 2. Rinse rain stains with clean water as soon as possible after rainfall to prevent paint damage; 3. Avoid washing the vehicle under direct sunlight or high temperatures; 4. Use clean, soft cloths or sponges when cleaning to prevent mixing in metal shavings or sand particles that could leave scratches.
