Currently, the vehicle purchase tax rate is 10%. Here is some information about the vehicle purchase tax: 1. Calculation formula: The formula for calculating the tax payable is: Tax Payable = Taxable Price × Tax Rate (if the taxable price is lower than the minimum taxable price issued by the State Taxation Administration, the minimum taxable price specified by the State Taxation Administration shall be used). The taxable price is the pre-VAT amount, and the VAT rate is 17%. 2. Payment time: The vehicle purchase tax must be paid within 60 days from the date of purchase. The payment method involves bringing the owner's identity proof, vehicle price proof, and vehicle qualification proof to the local competent tax authority to declare and pay the tax. Many car 4S stores also provide a tax payment service, allowing car owners to drive their vehicles immediately after purchase without worrying about any vehicle registration procedures.

What are the consequences of not canceling ETC?

The consequences of not canceling ETC are: 1. If the license plate number is recycled but the bound ETC is not unbound, the new owner will not be able to bind ETC, which will inconvenience others; 2. If the car is sold to someone else without canceling ETC and the device remains in the car, the toll station will recognize the ETC device. As long as there is a balance in the bank card, the toll fees will continue to be deducted from the original bank card; 3. If you buy a new car but keep the same license plate number, you must go to the service point to cancel and reapply, because the device will become invalid once removed. ETC is an automatic toll collection system that enables vehicles to pay highway tolls without stopping through communication between the 'on-board electronic tag plus IC card' and the microwave equipment in the ETC lane.

What Oil Should Be Changed for the First Car Maintenance?

For the first car maintenance, it is sufficient to change to the manufacturer's standard equipped oil. Since both the oil change (to the manufacturer's standard oil) and labor costs are free, the oil provided during the first maintenance is the minimum standard oil specified by the manufacturer for the vehicle, which is entirely suitable for engine use. It is recommended to change the oil every six months or 5,000 kilometers. Below is an introduction to the first car maintenance: 1. Many items need to be inspected during the first maintenance, such as the vehicle's lights, tires, chassis, various fluid levels in the engine compartment, and the onboard computer system, all of which require comprehensive inspection. 2. The chassis is also a key inspection point. Due to the generally low chassis height of ordinary cars, they often experience underbody scraping during driving. Therefore, inspecting the chassis during maintenance is very important. The main focus is to check for severe scratches, any marks on the exhaust pipe, and whether there are signs of corrosion or oil leakage on the chassis.

Can I add engine oil myself if it's low?

You can directly add engine oil yourself if it's low. However, you must ensure that the oil you add is of the same brand and type, and mixing different oils is not allowed. Additionally, opened engine oil can be used for topping up if it's been less than a year since opening, but oil that's been opened for over a year is generally ineffective and not recommended for use. Below are the steps to check the engine oil level: 1. Park the car and turn off the engine, then open the hood. 2. Locate the dipstick and wipe it clean with a cloth. 3. Reinsert the clean and dry dipstick, wait for three minutes, then pull it out. 4. Observe where the oil level is on the dipstick. Typically, dipsticks have two marks, H (High) and L (Low). If the oil level is between these two marks, it indicates that the oil level is sufficient and the car can operate normally.

How Long Does It Take to Learn Auto Repair?

Learning auto repair can take 2-3 years if you choose a long-term professional program, such as becoming an automotive repair engineer or an auto chain store manager, which require longer course durations. There are also shorter programs lasting 2-3 months, such as auto detailing, auto body repair, and auto electrical systems, which can be learned more quickly. The definition of auto repair is as follows: 1. Auto repair is a general term for vehicle maintenance and repair. It involves using technical methods to diagnose faults in malfunctioning vehicles, identify the causes, and take measures to restore the vehicle to a certain level of performance and safety standards. 2. Auto repair includes major repairs and minor repairs. Major repairs refer to restorative repairs that involve repairing or replacing any vehicle components (including foundational parts) to restore the vehicle's technical condition and fully (or nearly fully) extend its lifespan. Minor repairs refer to operational repairs that involve replacing or repairing individual parts to ensure or restore the vehicle's operational capability.

How to Solve the Problem of Foggy Taillights?

Here are the solutions for foggy taillights: 1. If the taillight only has slight water mist. Solution: Turn on the headlights to dry it for a while. 2. When the car headlights are turned on, they generate a large amount of heat, and there is a vent rubber tube near the headlights to discharge this heat. This helps maintain the normal operating temperature of the headlights and ensures their stable use. 3. There is moisture in the air, and when the temperature difference is significant, the moisture can enter the headlight through this vent tube and attach to the lens. As the moisture accumulates, fog will appear on the headlight. Human factors can also cause this situation, such as driving through water or washing the car. Solutions for 2 and 3: Turn on the headlights, and the fog will be discharged through the vent tube along with the hot air. 4. If the fog inside the headlight is very severe, it indicates that there is a leak in the headlight assembly (such as the lens or other parts). Solution: Replace the damaged parts.

What Causes an Automatic Transmission to Keep Stalling?

Automatic transmission vehicles may stall due to reasons such as a dead battery, fuel system issues, or operational errors. Dead Battery: The simplest and most common cause is a dead battery. In this case, simply jump-starting the vehicle should resolve the issue. If the car stalls suddenly while driving, it could be due to lubrication or electrical circuit problems, often caused by prolonged inactivity and lack of regular maintenance. Fuel System Issues: Another reason could be problems with the fuel system. Sometimes, using low-quality fuel can lead to excessive carbon buildup, causing blockages. This can easily result in sudden stalling. Regular cleaning of the fuel system and refueling at reputable stations can prevent this issue. Operational Errors: For beginners, even when driving an automatic transmission, operational mistakes can cause the car to stall. There's no need to panic in such situations; simply restarting the vehicle should suffice.
