The ex-factory price refers to the price of a bare car, which does not include any fees other than the car price. Here are some considerations when buying a car: 1. Choose the brand and model; 2. Select the price range; 3. Communicate rationally with the salesperson; 4. Choose the configuration; 5. Pay attention to the contract; 6. Check whether the relevant car documents are complete; 7. Inspect the exterior paint and interior for any damage; 8. Verify that the production date on the vehicle nameplate matches the relevant documents; 9. Check if the engine is working properly and if the basic functions of the vehicle are normal. Additional expenses after purchasing a car include: purchase tax, inspection fee, license plate fee, vehicle and vessel usage tax, and compulsory traffic accident liability insurance.

Can an automatic transmission license drive a manual-automatic integrated car?

An automatic transmission license can drive a manual-automatic integrated car. A manual-automatic integrated car also belongs to the automatic transmission category. According to regulations, a C2 license can drive small and micro automatic transmission passenger cars, as well as light and micro automatic transmission cargo vehicles. Since a manual-automatic transmission is actually a type of automatic transmission, it is permissible. A manual-automatic transmission combines manual gear shifting with automatic gear shifting. Essentially, it is still an automatic transmission that simulates the operation of a manual transmission through an electronic control system. The manual-automatic transmission is designed to enhance the fuel efficiency and controllability of automatic transmissions, allowing the driver to decide the gear shifting timing instead of the computer. At the same time, in urban traffic congestion situations, the automatic mode can still be used for convenience.

Why Does the Car Jerk When Starting After an Oil Change?

Reasons for jerking when starting after an oil change: Engine Oil: The oil does not meet the standard or too much oil has been added. Generally, the oil level should be kept between the minimum and maximum marks on the dipstick. Try not to let it fall below the middle mark, as insufficient oil will reduce lubrication. A little above the middle is acceptable, but never exceed the upper limit on the dipstick. Otherwise, it will create unnecessary resistance to the crankshaft rotation, affecting power output and increasing fuel consumption. Break-in Period: After the break-in period of a new car, the engine noise may increase slightly, and fuel consumption will decrease. Viscosity: New oil has higher viscosity, which increases mechanical resistance and cylinder pressure.

How to distinguish between piston slap and valve noise?

Piston slap is caused by wear between the cylinder wall and piston, resulting in increased clearance, particularly when the piston skirt wears out. The knocking sound becomes especially noticeable under cold engine conditions or heavy loads. Valve noise primarily occurs due to excessive clearance in the engine's valve train mechanism. Additional information: Piston slap originates from the cylinder-piston assembly, producing synchronous noise matching engine RPM. Valve noise comes from the cylinder head, presenting as scattered metallic sounds - sometimes at twice the engine speed (when both valves produce noise) and slightly offset from combustion pulses. The noise intensity increases with RPM. Note: Some engines use timing chains, whose rattling characteristics resemble valve noise (scattered metallic sounds), but chain noise may disappear at higher throttle openings or exhibit asynchronous behavior with RPM (e.g., guide wheel noise).
