Mortgaged vehicle three-document set refers to: mortgage video, which is the recording of the original owner during the mortgage loan process; mortgage photos, which are photos of the original owner holding the mortgage agreement with the vehicle; and transfer records, which refer to the transaction records of the creditor transferring money to the original owner. Additional information: Classification of mortgaged vehicles: Mortgaged vehicles are divided into fully paid mortgaged vehicles and non-fully paid mortgaged vehicles. Fully paid mortgaged vehicles generally have the vehicle loan fully repaid, but the owner is unwilling or unable to repay the financial company and does not cooperate with the transfer of ownership, so the financial company will legally transfer the debt, making such mortgaged vehicles purchasable. Non-fully paid mortgaged vehicles refer to vehicles still under mortgage status with the vehicle management office and bank, and the owner privately sells such vehicles. These vehicles cannot be purchased and doing so is illegal. Precautions: To check if a vehicle is mortgaged, you can inspect the motor vehicle registration certificate for details about the mortgage registration. If the last mortgage registration has been canceled, it means the vehicle's secured debt has been fulfilled, and it is no longer a mortgaged vehicle, making it purchasable. If the mortgage registration has not been canceled, the vehicle management office will not process the transfer of ownership, and purchasing such a vehicle would still carry risks.

Last time my friend went to buy a mortgaged car, the seller mentioned the 'three essential documents' which refer to the copy of the original owner's ID card, the vehicle registration certificate, and the mortgage contract. These documents are like the car's ID papers—missing any one of them indicates something fishy about the vehicle. I've studied many cases, and cars without these three documents are usually either double-mortgaged or in a state of messy debt claims, making it particularly troublesome when the police check the documents on the road. Even worse, if the original owner changes their mind or the loan company suddenly shows up, the car could be repossessed before you know it, leaving you with no chance to complain. So when buying a mortgaged car, never just go for the cheap price—always double-check the authenticity of the documents, and ideally bring along a friend who understands the law to help vet the deal. Otherwise, you might really end up in a pitfall.

Having been in the used car business for seven or eight years, the three essential documents for a mortgaged vehicle refer to the vehicle registration certificate, the original mortgage contract, and a copy of the car owner's ID card. During transactions, it's crucial to personally verify these three items, especially ensuring the information on the ID card matches that on the registration certificate. Just last week, we encountered a customer attempting to mortgage a vehicle with a fake registration certificate—fortunately, we checked the archive system and uncovered the fraud. Currently, many mortgaged vehicles on the market carry multiple layers of loans. If the mortgage contract is missing from these three essential documents, there's a high risk of other creditors seizing the vehicle. We strongly advise buyers against private transactions and recommend always using a reputable dealership with third-party verification. Otherwise, if the vehicle is repossessed, you'll have nowhere to turn for recourse.

What are the free items for a car's first maintenance?

New car first maintenance items generally include changing the engine oil and oil filter. The first maintenance is usually scheduled at 5,000 kilometers or within 6 months, whichever comes first in terms of mileage or time. Since there is a period from the factory to the owner's hands, the engine oil can deteriorate over time, so early maintenance is required. Generally, 4S stores provide free first maintenance. Here are the relevant details: 1. Time for first maintenance: Excluding waiting time in line, normal first maintenance takes about one to two hours. 2. General maintenance items: Common maintenance items for vehicles include engine oil, oil filter, transmission oil, spark plugs, air conditioning filter, air filter, fuel filter, and brake fluid—eight items in total. The air filter and air conditioning filter can be replaced as needed based on usage. They can also be purchased online and replaced by yourself to save some costs.

The Pros and Cons of Paint Coating for Cars

The benefits of paint coating include scratch resistance, corrosion resistance, no cracking, easy cleaning, anti-static, etc.; the disadvantages are high cost and long construction time. Here are the detailed explanations: 1. Reduced car washing costs and enhanced shine: After a car undergoes paint coating, the crystalline layer protects the car's paint surface. Light dust and small stains can usually be wiped away with a damp cloth, restoring the shine. Moreover, coated vehicles have a higher gloss than new cars, making the entire vehicle look more appealing. 2. Scratch and corrosion resistance: For coated vehicles, the hardness of the crystalline layer far exceeds that of the original car paint, making it difficult for minor scratches to cause damage. It also protects against corrosion from elements like acid rain. 3. High cost and long construction time: Paint coating is significantly more expensive than waxing or sealing, and the construction process is lengthy, usually taking up to two days to complete.

Can You Use 95 Octane Oil After Using 92 Octane Oil in a Car?

It is possible to use 95 octane oil after using 92 octane oil in a car, but long-term use may affect the lifespan of the car's ignition system, fuel injectors, and spark plugs, and the fuel quality cannot be guaranteed. Engine oil, also known as engine lubricant, serves to lubricate and reduce friction in the engine, assist in cooling, seal against leaks, prevent rust and corrosion, and provide shock absorption. Engine oils are categorized by quality grades: 1. Diesel engine lubricants are selected based on the combined mechanical and thermal loads of the car engine and the severity of engine operating conditions; 2. Gasoline engine oils are chosen based on the severity of engine operating conditions, additional equipment in the intake and exhaust systems, and the production year.

What is the difference between a 5S and a 4S car dealership?

The specific differences between 4S and 5S car dealerships: 1. Business model: A 4S dealership integrates car sales, maintenance, parts, and information services into one sales outlet. The 4S model is a car franchise model centered around the 'four-in-one' concept, including vehicle sales (Sale), spare parts (Sparepart), after-sales service (Service), and information feedback (Survey). A 5S dealership includes: vehicle sales (sales), spare parts sales and promotion (spareparts), system information feedback (System-of-information-feed-back), maintenance and service (service), and used car transactions (second-hand). The 5S model combines these five main components into one business model. 2.
