The heir needs to take the death certificate to the notary office for notarization. Then, bring the death certificate, the notarized inheritance certificate from the notary office, the heir's identity proof, the vehicle license, the motor vehicle registration certificate, and drive the vehicle to the local vehicle management office to complete the transfer procedures. (For non-local residents, a temporary residence permit valid for one year is also required). To process the inheritance notarization, it must follow the general inheritance procedures. If there is a will, the inheritance will be executed according to the will. If there is no will, the inheritance will be equally divided among the first-line heirs, including the deceased's spouse, children, and parents. All first-line heirs must gather at the local notary office to select one heir, while the others sign a waiver of inheritance agreement. After notarization, the inheritance certificate can be obtained. For vehicle transfer, a vehicle evaluation must be conducted first. The evaluation fee is usually 1%-2% of the assessed vehicle value, and other costs include license plates, vehicle license fees, etc. The original commercial insurance of the vehicle can be canceled (compulsory insurance cannot be canceled), or the insurance can be transferred to the buyer at the insurance company. Precautions when buying a used car: Incomplete documentation. Complete documentation for a used car includes: the vehicle registration certificate (or original purchase invoice), vehicle license, vehicle purchase tax payment certificate, road maintenance fee records, and compulsory insurance. Missing documents such as the vehicle registration certificate or vehicle license, or unpaid compulsory insurance or road maintenance fees, can cause endless trouble for the buyer. Therefore, if the seller cannot provide complete documentation, the buyer should be particularly cautious. Tampering with the odometer. Most consumers rely on the odometer to judge the condition of the car, and sellers often take advantage of this by tampering with the odometer. In fact, the odometer not only records usage intensity but also serves as a recorder for the maintenance and replacement of other vehicle parts. If the buyer follows the tampered odometer readings for maintenance, it can lead to a series of potential safety hazards. New paint covering 'external injuries'. When purchasing a used car, if the car has been repainted and there are signs of repair around the front, rear, or A, B, and C pillars, the car may have been involved in a major accident. 'Tuning the heart' to raise the price. Many consumers focus too much on the car's 'heart' (engine) and neglect the health of the car body. Used car sellers take advantage of this by replacing engine components to make the 'heart' appear younger, thereby inflating the price.

What is the fuel tank capacity of the Trumpchi GS3 in liters?

The Trumpchi GS3 has a total of 8 models, all with a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters. The vehicle is equipped with a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine, and the transmission options include a 6-speed automatic manual transmission and a 6-speed manual transmission. All models in the series feature front-engine, front-wheel-drive configuration. In the same vehicle class, the Haval M6-2021 has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters, and the Haval First Love 2021 also has a fuel tank capacity of 55 liters. During actual refueling, the amount of fuel may exceed the calibrated capacity. This is because the fuel tank capacity specified by the car manufacturer is measured from the bottom of the tank to the safe limit level. There is still some space from the safe limit level to the tank opening, which is reserved to allow for fuel expansion when temperatures rise, preventing overflow. If fuel is filled up to the tank opening during refueling, the actual amount of fuel added may exceed the calibrated tank capacity. If the owner wants to check the remaining fuel level, they can observe the fuel gauge on the right side of the instrument panel, which is marked with E and F. When the needle is close to E, it indicates that the fuel is nearly depleted, while being close to F indicates sufficient fuel.
