First, go to the insurance company to pay the insurance premium (some can be completed directly at the 4S store); pay the vehicle and vessel tax and vehicle purchase tax; drive to the vehicle management office for license plate registration, after which the traffic police will inspect the vehicle identification code, appearance, warning triangle, etc. Choose a license plate number online or at the vehicle management office. After selecting the number, retrieve the annual inspection label and the license plate receipt. Once the license plate is obtained, install it on the car and affix the annual inspection label and other required marks. Documents needed for car purchase: 1. Full payment purchase: Fewer documents are required for full payment purchase—only an ID card is needed to complete the purchase via cash or card payment. 2. Loan purchase: Loan purchase is slightly more complicated. You need to prepare copies of six major documents: ID card, income proof (household registration or temporary residence permit, etc.), property ownership certificate, marriage certificate, residence proof, and driver's license. If you are an individual business owner, you must also provide copies of relevant documents such as tax registration certificate, business license, and organization code certificate.

I remember when I bought a car a few years ago, there were quite a few procedures, but taking it step by step kept things organized. First, set a budget—don't exceed what your wallet can handle to avoid financial stress later. Then, choose the model. I often checked websites and car reviews, narrowed it down to two or three options, and went to the 4S dealership for test drives to get a feel for the steering wheel and comfort. During price negotiations, bringing some market price data helped me secure a good deal—don’t forget to check for any additional fees. Signing the contract is a big deal; I took my time reading through the terms, confirming the warranty and delivery timeline. For payment, I could choose between cash or applying for a loan—if opting for a loan, prepare your ID card and income proof. Finally, arrange insurance: compulsory traffic insurance is mandatory, and I added comprehensive coverage for extra peace of mind. Registering the plate required a trip to the DMV with my driver’s license to complete the registration. I summarized the entire process as: plan, experience, negotiate, sign, pay, insure, and register—this way, nothing gets missed, and you avoid rework.

As a first-time car buyer, I'm super nervous! What are the procedures? You'll need a driver's license and ID card, some savings in the bank or loan materials ready. I searched online for popular models, then went to 4S stores for 2-3 test drives - don't rush the decision, feel the throttle and brake response. Salespeople might trick you during price negotiation, so I made sure to ask about total costs including taxes and miscellaneous fees. Before signing contracts, I asked a knowledgeable friend to review the terms - never sign blindly. After payment, getting insurance is crucial - I bought compulsory insurance and theft protection for safety. Before going to DMV for plates, double-check all documents to avoid wasted trips. Through this process I learned to take it slow - never skip proper test drives, safety comes first. Finally, inspect exterior and interior thoroughly during pickup, whether it's new or used car.

I never take car purchase procedures lightly, as experience has taught me safety comes first. First choose the model: SUV or sedan, checking safety features like airbags and stability systems. Visit dealerships for test drives to confirm performance, then negotiate a reasonable price after testing. Review the contract carefully for warranty and return conditions. Payment in cash is simplest, or prepare credit documents for pre-approved loans. Immediately arrange insurance including compulsory traffic insurance and commercial coverage for collision risks. For registration, bring all documents to the DMV to complete procedures before taking delivery. I recommend scheduling regular maintenance afterwards—never neglect the service plan. Throughout the process, I focus on practicality and reliability to avoid complications.

What is the solution for H4 headlights not focusing light?

H4 single-installation xenon lights have the biggest issues of light scattering and slow flickering. The solution is to install a lens. The structure of H4 model headlights combines high and low beams in one reflector bowl, which has two focal points. Replacing with xenon lights makes it difficult to align both focal points simultaneously, resulting in scattered light after modification for some vehicles. Here are specific details about H4 model headlights: 1. H4 headlights are a type of automotive headlight bulb specification and model. H4 is a dual-filament, three-pin bulb with both low and high beams in one bulb, typically rated at 55W for low beam and 60W for high beam; or 90W for low beam and 100W for high beam. 2. The performance of these headlights is relatively poor. The reflector bowl is too large, causing the emitted light to scatter excessively and not focus well. If modified with xenon or LED lights, the effect is comparatively worse with severe divergence, which can dazzle oncoming vehicles.

Can a swollen battery still be recycled?

Once a battery is swollen, it is considered scrapped, and merchants will not attempt to repair it. Trade-in programs essentially recycle the lead and plastic at a discounted rate, regardless of the battery's condition. A swollen battery cannot and should not be repaired; it is recommended to replace it directly. This is because a swollen battery is prone to reverse polarity—where the positive terminal becomes negative and the negative terminal becomes positive—which can cause the charger to burn out and damage the controller. In the worst-case scenario, if the controller and charger lack comprehensive protection features, it could even lead to a vehicle fire. Battery swelling is one of the common causes of battery failure, typically manifesting as bulging on both sides. The primary reasons for swelling are excessive charging or discharging currents, leading to rapid temperature increases inside the battery. If the gas cannot vent in time, the pressure builds up until the battery swells or deforms. Upon discovering a swollen battery, prompt repair or replacement is necessary. During maintenance, it is crucial to inspect the charging system to ensure the charging voltage and current are within reasonable limits and that the generator and charging circuits are functioning properly.

What is the emission standard for 2009 cars?

2009 cars comply with the China IV emission standard. Below is relevant information about the China IV standard: 1. Introduction: The China IV emission standard is the national fourth-stage motor vehicle pollutant emission standard. Automobile emissions mainly include HC (hydrocarbons), NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), PM (particulate matter), etc. Through the application of technologies such as improved catalytic converter active layers, secondary air injection, and exhaust gas recirculation systems with cooling devices, it controls and reduces vehicle emissions to below specified limits. 2. Implementation timeline: In March 2009, the Industrial Policy Department of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology convened a meeting with relevant enterprises to discuss the implementation of automobile emission standards (China III, China IV, China V), attended by major automotive manufacturers and engine producers. On December 21, 2010, the General Office of the Ministry of Environmental Protection of the People's Republic of China officially replied to the China Association of Automobile Manufacturers with the document Huan Ban Han [2010] No. 1390 "Reply Letter Regarding the Implementation Date of National Motor Vehicle Emission Standard Phase IV Limits".
