For a second-hand vehicle, you need to go through the transfer procedures at the original registration location of the vehicle to obtain temporary license plates. Then, the second-hand vehicle must undergo registration procedures at the vehicle management office in the new registration location, including re-inspection of the vehicle, selection of a license plate number, production of the vehicle license, and payment of relevant taxes and fees. Notes for second-hand vehicle registration: 1. Meet the migration standards of the registration location. 2. Retain the original license plate. If you wish to continue using the old license plate number after selling the vehicle, you can apply to retain it. 3. Pay the vehicle and vessel usage tax. The owner must pay the vehicle and vessel usage tax at the local tax authority in their district or county within one month of registration, usually with an annual fee of 200 yuan for small cars. 4. Obtain a vehicle purchase quota in restricted purchase areas. Similar to new cars, consumers in restricted purchase areas must first obtain a registration quota before purchasing a second-hand vehicle; otherwise, registration is not allowed. 5. Pay registration fees. When selecting a license plate number, you must pay the required registration fees. Some 4S shops can handle registration on your behalf but will charge a service fee.

How Long Can Tires Last When the Cords Are Visible?

Subtitle: The wear limit for radial tire tread patterns is 1.6mm, while for trucks and buses, the wear limit is 2.0mm, serving as a reminder for drivers to replace tires promptly. Below is relevant information about tires: 1. Wear: All tires have wear indicators. There are triangular marks on the sidewall of the tire; when the tread wears down to the level indicated by the triangle, it is recommended to replace the tire. Inside the tire's tread grooves, there are also raised markers. When the tread wears down to the level of these raised markers, the tire should be replaced. Simple punctures can be repaired without needing a replacement. However, bulges must be replaced. 2. Aging: Rubber oxidizes in the air, and oxidized rubber hardens, thereby reducing grip. Therefore, even if a set of tires is not used, its lifespan will decrease. It is not recommended to use tires for more than 5 years from the production date. The production date can be found on the sidewall of the tire.

Can a Car with 200,000 Kilometers Still Be Driven?

A car with 200,000 kilometers can still be driven. Here are methods to verify the mileage: 1. Production Date: The mileage may 'lie,' but the production date won't. You can check the vehicle's registration date through the engine number, chassis number, and license plate number with the public security department. Additionally, the production date is also engraved on the metal plate in the engine compartment's nameplate. Altering these details is much more difficult than tampering with the odometer. 2. Car Tires: Under normal driving conditions, a tire's lifespan is about 40,000 kilometers. For a car that has traveled 20,000 kilometers, the tire tread should be worn down to about half its original depth. Conversely, if a car shows only 10,000 kilometers but its tires are almost worn out, the mileage is likely falsified. 3. Interior: The car's interior can help us determine the vehicle's 'age.' Over time, the steering wheel, gear shift, and buttons on the dashboard will become smooth from repeated use. A new car's interior should feel rough with a strong granular texture. If a car with very low mileage has a polished interior, its true identity is likely an old car.

Can Car Keys Run Out of Battery?

Car keys can run out of battery. The battery in a car remote key typically lasts 2-3 years before being depleted, though this varies depending on the vehicle model. Signs that a remote key is running out of battery include: Shortened remote range: Initially, you could unlock the car from 5-6 meters away, but now you need to be very close to the door for it to respond. Occasional unlocking failure: The remote may occasionally fail to unlock the car, requiring multiple presses to succeed. These are symptoms of a dying battery. Key indicator light: Observe the indicator light on the key. If it appears dimmer than usual or flickers when you press the button, it's time to replace the battery or the key itself. If the car key runs out of battery, you can use the spare mechanical key to open the door. Most cars have two types of mechanical keys: folding or hidden. Some may be concealed within the key, while others are attached to the side. The mechanical key can still open the door when the remote key is dead. Door locks are usually located on the handle, though some models hide the lock hole for aesthetic purposes, but it's always near the handle.
