Beginners should pay attention to the following points when purchasing a used car: 1. Choose a reputable dealer: It's important to buy from a reputable dealer so that any issues after purchase can be effectively resolved. Also, be cautious about online used car websites—while they can be trusted, don't rely on them entirely. 2. Pay attention to the mileage: This is mainly relevant for retired fleet vehicles. These vehicles not only have mileage issues but also problems with their service life. Commercial vehicles are mandatorily scrapped after eight years, so when you get one, it may only have a year or two of usable life left. 3. How to choose a car: After considering the purchasing channels, here's how to select a car: First, browse online to see if there are any models you like, then compare prices on different websites (for reference only). Once you've made a selection, visit a used car market to look around and see if you can find the model you're interested in.

Where is the OBD interface located on a car?

Different cars have different interface locations, but most OBD interfaces are located below the left side of the car's dashboard. More information about OBD is as follows: 1. OBD is the abbreviation of On-Board-Diagnostic, which translates to "On-Board Diagnostics" in Chinese. This system continuously monitors the engine's operating conditions and the working status of the exhaust after-treatment system. Once it detects any situation that might cause excessive emissions, it immediately issues a warning. 2. When a fault occurs in the system, the OBD system stores the fault information in memory. This information can be read in the form of fault codes through standard diagnostic tools and interfaces. Based on the fault codes, maintenance personnel can quickly and accurately determine the nature and location of the fault. 3. The OBD interface can provide various operational data of the vehicle.

Is the Annual Inspection Sticker Still Required to be Displayed?

Since June 2020, electronic annual inspection stickers have been implemented nationwide. Now, when vehicle owners go for their annual vehicle inspection, they will not receive a paper inspection sticker upon passing the inspection. Instead, owners can directly obtain the electronic annual inspection sticker via the Traffic Management 12123 app. Additional Information: The latest policy combines the vehicle annual inspection with the environmental protection inspection sticker. As long as the vehicle passes the annual inspection, there is no need to obtain a separate environmental protection sticker. Driving a motor vehicle without displaying the inspection pass sticker will result in a fine of 50 yuan and a deduction of 1 point. In severe cases, the traffic management department of the public security authority shall impound the motor vehicle and notify the party to provide the corresponding license, sticker, or complete the necessary procedures.

What to Do When the Key of a Manual Transmission Car Cannot Be Pulled Out?

To solve the issue of the key not being able to be pulled out from a manual transmission car, simply turn the steering wheel left and right. This situation occurs when the steering wheel locks the ignition switch. Most cars are equipped with a steering wheel lock mechanism that activates after the engine is turned off. If the steering wheel happens to be in a position that blocks this lock mechanism, the key may not come out. A manual transmission, also known as a manual gearbox (MT), requires the driver to manually shift gears by moving the gear stick to change the gear engagement inside the transmission, thereby altering the gear ratio to achieve speed variation. The manual transmission uses shift forks to change the gear ratio (tooth ratio) of the engaged gears, thereby adjusting the driving torque to suit different operating conditions.

Why Does Removing a Color Change Film Damage the Car?

High-quality color change films will not damage the car paint when removed; instead, they protect the paint from scratches, corrosion, etc. Generally, a car color change film can last 7-8 years. If the quality is poor, not only will the paint protection effect be minimal, but the adhesion to the paint surface will also be relatively weak, potentially leading to bubbles or even peeling over time. Additional Information: Color Change Requires Registration: Applying a color change film must be registered; otherwise, it is illegal. Due to the convenience of color change films, some vehicles involved in accidents can evade identification by simply removing the film. Therefore, national regulations require that any vehicle using a color change film must register within ten working days. For fashion-conscious car owners, it is essential to register promptly after applying a color change film to avoid being stopped by traffic police while driving.
