A triangle with an exclamation mark indicates a malfunction in the vehicle's general performance, components, or functions. Common issues include parking sensor failure, fuel cutoff system intervention or malfunction, external light failure, or engine oil pressure sensor failure. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection to identify the source of the fault. The exclamation mark is a common fault indicator in vehicles. Besides the triangle with an exclamation mark, there are four other forms of exclamation mark warnings: a yellow gear with an exclamation mark, a red circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle, a yellow bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle, and a yellow bulb with an exclamation mark. Below is a detailed analysis of these four scenarios: Automatic Transmission Fault: A yellow gear with an exclamation mark indicates an automatic transmission fault warning light, signaling a transmission malfunction or transmission lubricant level below the normal range. The transmission oil should be replaced promptly. Brake System Fault: A circle with parentheses and an exclamation mark in the middle represents a brake system warning, indicating either a brake system malfunction or low brake fluid level. Immediate inspection of the brake system is required to prevent accidents. Tire Pressure Anomaly: A bracket with a horizontal line and an exclamation mark in the middle indicates a tire pressure monitoring warning light, which illuminates when the tire pressure is too low. Check the vehicle's tire pressure and restore it to the normal range. Lighting Fault: A yellow bulb with an exclamation mark is a lighting fault indicator, signaling a malfunction in one of the vehicle's lights. Solution: Visit a 4S shop for inspection as soon as possible, or conduct a self-check focusing on commonly used bulbs such as turn signals, fog lights, and interior lights to identify the issue.

Can Used Cars Be Transferred with License Plates?

Some used cars can be transferred with license plates, while others cannot. Passenger cars cannot be transferred with their original license plates and must obtain new ones. Commercial vehicles, however, can be transferred with their original license plates. The seller's license plate can be retained (or not), but the buyer must obtain a new license plate (or use a previously retained one if available). Reasons for not allowing license plate transfers: One advantage of not permitting license plate transfers is to avoid speculation and inflated prices for license plates. In some regions where license plates are scarce, to prevent speculation and ensure rational use of plate resources, license plates cannot be transferred. Additionally, in principle, a used car with its license plate can be sold, but the license plate number cannot be transferred. This means the ownership of both the license plate and the vehicle remains under the original owner's name, and the buyer only has the right to use the vehicle. Legally, the buyer's rights may lack protection. Pre-registered used cars can be transferred with license plates: Pre-registered used cars refer to those that were in dealer inventory when purchase restrictions were implemented. Dealers submitted these vehicles to relevant authorities for pre-registration or notarization. After receiving the pre-registration confirmation notice or notarization document and within the validity period, these vehicles can be sold with their license plates to buyers who have obtained incremental purchase quotas. Once expired, they lose the qualification for "transfer with license plates." Pre-registered used cars have no restrictions on buyers, do not require tax certificates, and are not limited to local residents. Anyone with an incremental purchase quota is eligible to buy.

Is an invoice required for used car transfer?

An invoice is not required for used car transfer. The vehicle must have complete documentation, including the vehicle license, certificate of conformity, vehicle registration certificate, insurance, and other necessary documents. Transfer process: Obtain the vehicle transfer application form from the vehicle management office. With the completed transfer application form, agreement, relevant copies, and the original vehicle license, obtain the appraisal form at the used vehicle trading point. The owner should bring all required documents to the vehicle management office to complete the transfer approval procedures. After approval, complete the transfer transaction at the used vehicle trading point. Then, use the transfer documents to complete the transfer at the traffic police department. After the transfer, use the new vehicle license, used vehicle transaction certificate, and a copy of the invoice to complete the transfer procedures at the toll station and purchase tax department. License plate number cannot be transferred with the vehicle: Used car transfers can occur under various circumstances, such as between two companies, between individuals, from a company to an individual, or from an individual to a company. However, in any case, the license plate number cannot be transferred with the vehicle, meaning the license plate number cannot be transferred to the buyer. During the transfer, the buyer will select a new license plate number. If the old license plate number has been used for more than one year, it can be automatically retained under the seller's name for one year. Within that year, the seller can use it when purchasing a new car or another used car.

How Many Kilometers per Year is Normal for Driving?

Driving 20,000 to 30,000 kilometers per year is quite normal. Related information: 1. Precautions: It should be noted that during the use of a car, the replacement of vulnerable parts such as tires, timing belts, brake pads, spark plugs, and various car fluids should be carried out according to the scheduled maintenance manual provided with the vehicle. 2. Depreciation period: For a car, it will depreciate significantly when resold, typically new cars depreciate the fastest within the first 3 years. Cars older than 3 years often depreciate by about 30%, and considering the purchase tax, vehicle and vessel tax, and various insurance premiums paid when buying the car, selling the car at this time would be quite a loss for the owner.

What Are the Fundamental Reasons for the Emergence of Used Cars?

The reasons for the emergence of used cars include changes in consumer attitudes, updates in official vehicles, and changes in ownership by companies or individuals. Changes in consumer attitudes: As people's living standards improve, new consumption desires arise, leading to a psychological demand for fashion and trends. Many people, driven by the motivation to seek novelty, constantly switch to new cars and sell their old ones. Additionally, some individuals change to higher-end cars to satisfy their self-esteem and desire to show off, contributing to the annual increase in car replacement consumption in China. As buyers of used cars, they are motivated by practicality, convenience, and affordability, placing more emphasis on the actual utility of the vehicle to save money and effort. Updates in official vehicles: Government departments in China are equipped with a considerable number of official vehicles, mostly mid-to-high-end passenger cars, with a small portion being commercial vehicles. After a certain period, these official vehicles are phased out and replaced with new ones. The phased-out vehicles then enter the used car market. Moreover, large-scale events and conferences, such as the Olympics, involve a significant number of vehicles for meetings and activities. After these events, these vehicles also become part of the used car market. Changes in ownership by companies or individuals: In the context of a market economy, company bankruptcies are a natural occurrence. After a company goes bankrupt, asset liquidation takes place, which may include vehicles for sale. These vehicles intended for sale are also an important source of used cars.
