Selling a car to a used car dealer requires attention to the following points: Prepare relevant documents: The car owner must bring the necessary documents when selling the car. Without them, the transfer of ownership cannot be completed, and the transaction will fail. The owner should bring the vehicle's registration certificate, purchase invoice or transfer invoice, insurance and annual inspection materials, as well as their ID card. If any document is missing, contact the vehicle management office or insurance company for a replacement. Ensure all documents are complete when selling the car, as only with complete documents can the transfer be processed. Understand the market conditions: Most car owners are not familiar with the used car market and cannot accurately estimate the value of their car. In this case, consult a professional used car trading platform or a 4S store. Compare similar models and conditions to get a rough price range, or use online or in-store evaluation methods to estimate the car's value. This helps avoid being lowballed by buyers.

What are the reasons for an automatic transmission not moving when engaged?

Automatic transmission not moving when engaged is caused by leakage in the automatic transmission oil pan, looseness in the linkage or cable between the manual valve operating handle and the rocker arm, or blockage in the oil pump inlet filter screen. Leakage in the automatic transmission oil pan: If only a small amount of hydraulic oil flows out from the pressure measuring hole of the main oil circuit, and the oil pressure is very low or almost nonexistent, it indicates leakage in the automatic transmission oil pan, causing the vehicle not to move. Open the oil pan and check if the oil pump inlet filter screen is blocked. If there is no blockage, it means the oil pump is damaged or there is severe leakage in the main oil circuit, and the automatic transmission should be disassembled. Looseness in the linkage or cable between the manual valve operating handle and the rocker arm: If the linkage or cable between the manual valve operating handle and the rocker arm is loose, the manual valve remains in the neutral or parking position. If it is loose, reassemble it and readjust the position of the operating lever. Blockage in the oil pump inlet filter screen: If there is some oil pressure in the main oil circuit when starting the cold engine, but the oil pressure drops significantly after the engine warms up, it indicates excessive wear in the oil pump, and the oil pump should be replaced.

What are the differences between the 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift and non-facelift models?

Here are the differences between the Mercedes-Benz E-Class facelift and non-facelift models: 1. Configuration: The facelifted Mercedes-Benz E-Class has undergone certain changes in configuration. The new model is equipped with a 360-degree panoramic camera, a sensor-activated trunk, a keyless entry system, and adjustable rear seats—features that are not available in the non-facelifted models. 2. Power: The facelifted long-wheelbase Mercedes-Benz E-Class continues to use the current M264 series 1.5T and 2.0T (high/low power) engines, paired with a 9AT transmission. Before the facelift, it used a turbocharged V6 engine.

Can Hybrid Vehicles in Beijing Obtain New Energy License Plates?

Currently, Beijing does not allow hybrid vehicles to obtain new energy license plates. Below is relevant information about hybrid vehicles: 1. Plug-in Hybrid: The battery capacity of regular hybrid vehicles is very small, only supplying/recovering energy during start/stop and acceleration/deceleration. They cannot be charged externally and cannot travel long distances in pure electric mode. Plug-in hybrid vehicles have relatively larger batteries, can be charged externally, and can operate in pure electric mode. Once the battery is depleted, they switch to hybrid mode (mainly powered by the internal combustion engine) and recharge the battery as needed. 2. Oil-Electric Hybrid: Oil-electric hybrid vehicles offer high fuel efficiency and excellent driving performance. The engine of an oil-electric hybrid vehicle uses fuel, and with the assistance of an electric motor during startup and acceleration, fuel consumption can be reduced. Simply put, compared to vehicles of the same size, they have lower fuel costs.

Is the BMW 3 Series equipped with run-flat tires?

BMW 3 Series is equipped with run-flat tires. Run-flat tires can still allow the vehicle to continue driving at a certain speed for a period of time under the support of the thick tire wall when the tire pressure is insufficient or there is a leak. If you see "continued driving with zero tire pressure" in the car's configuration table, it means that run-flat tires are used. Precautions for using run-flat tires: Use low-pressure tires: Using low-pressure tires can improve the driving smoothness and steering stability of the car, extend the life of the tires, and prevent tire blowouts. No speeding: There is a phenomenon called "standing wave" in car tires, which often occurs when driving at high speeds. This phenomenon can rapidly increase the tire temperature, accelerate the aging of the rubber, and easily cause delamination and rupture, leading to tire blowouts. Regular rotation: To ensure even wear of all tires and extend their service life, it is necessary to perform regular tire rotation as specified, usually during secondary maintenance. Cars that frequently drive on highways should adopt the rotation method. Standard tire pressure: The life of the tire is closely related to the tire pressure. Both over-inflation and under-inflation can cause excessive wear of the tires, leading to blowouts. Dynamic balancing: When replacing tires, dynamic balancing tests must be performed before installation. If the tires are found to be unbalanced, they must not be installed. In addition, during the installation process, attention should also be paid to the dynamic balance of the tires. The tire valve should avoid the inspection hole on the brake drum and be staggered by 90 degrees. When installing dual tires on the rear wheels, the valves should be staggered by 180 degrees to facilitate balancing and inflation.
