Those with sufficient funds can pay in full, while installment car purchases are beneficial for both the car owner and the 4S dealership. For the owner, it reduces the financial burden, allowing them to avoid spending a large sum of money at once. For the dealership, it can improve sales efficiency and even generate additional fees during the installment process. Below are the specific differences: 1. Insurance difference: Full payment requires payment of purchase tax, registration fee, compulsory insurance, and vehicle tax, while insurance is optional. For loan purchases, full insurance coverage is required nationwide as mandated by banks. 2. Mortgage issue: During the loan period, the vehicle's ownership is not in the owner's hands as it is used as collateral. The mortgage is lifted only after the loan is fully repaid. For loan purchases, the vehicle's title, purchase invoice, and full insurance policy are held by the bank until the loan is repaid. Full payment does not require any mortgage.

Can a Manual Transmission Car Shift Gears Without Pressing the Clutch?

Manual transmission cars can shift gears without pressing the clutch. The steps to start a manual transmission car are: 1. Press the clutch; 2. Push the gear lever inward with your right hand, then push it up into first gear; 3. Turn on the left turn signal; 4. Honk the horn; 5. Release the handbrake; 6. Steady the throttle; 7. Lift the clutch pedal. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox, requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear lever to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, altering the gear ratio to achieve speed changes. The working principle of a manual transmission involves using the shift fork to change the gear ratio or tooth ratio of the engaged gears, thereby altering the driving torque to suit different operating conditions.

How to Easily Remove ETC?

ETC can be easily removed by pressing the electronic tag firmly with your hand, then using a wallpaper knife to cut through the double-sided tape adhering it to the windshield. ETC stands for Electronic Toll Collection, a road tolling method specifically designed for toll roads, commonly found on highways, toll bridges or tunnels, and certain sections of urban areas to alleviate traffic congestion. There are two ways to apply for ETC: one is to apply directly at an ETC service outlet, and the other is to apply by linking a corresponding bank credit card. For bank ETC applications, car owners must comply with the bank's credit card usage and repayment rules, and highway tolls are directly deducted from the linked bank credit card.

What's the Difference Between 1.8L and 1.8T?

1.8L and 1.8T differences: 1. Different engine systems: 1.8L refers to a naturally aspirated engine with a displacement of 1.8 liters; 1.8T refers to a turbocharged engine with a displacement of 1.8 liters. 2. Different maximum torque and power: The maximum torque of a 1.8L engine model is 170Nm, and the maximum power is 98kW; the maximum torque of a 1.8T engine model is 300Nm, and the maximum power is 155kW. The turbocharging device can change the engine's air intake, allowing the fuel to burn more fully in the cylinders, thereby increasing the engine's output power. The advantage of a turbocharger is that it can significantly increase the engine's power and torque without increasing the engine's displacement.
