Car blind spot mirrors can generally be installed on the lower outer corner of the car's side mirrors or the upper outer corner, with the mirror surface adjusted slightly downward. They are mainly useful for viewing parking spaces and the ground while reversing, eliminating the need to constantly adjust the rearview mirrors. Common installation positions include the upper left, lower left, and lower right corners. The difference between the upper left and lower left positions is not significant. Most people choose to install them on the lower left or lower right positions. Introduction to car blind spot mirrors: 1. Function of car blind spot mirrors: Blind spot mirrors allow the driver in the cabin to better observe the side of the vehicle and the rear wheels, expanding the driver's field of vision and reducing blind spots. These mirrors are inexpensive and very easy to install. 2. Installation on the lower left: Advantages: Increases the visible range of the rearview mirror. Disadvantages: It definitely obstructs and interferes with the rearview mirror's view. 3. Installation on the lower right: Advantages: Provides a clear view of the distance between the rear wheels and the curb, which is very useful for roadside parking, driving on narrow rural roads, and reversing. It hardly obstructs or interferes with the rearview mirror's view. Disadvantages: It does not increase the visible range of the rearview mirror.

How to Handle Used Car Transactions?

The used vehicle market implements an agency system through operating companies for vehicle title transfers, where the transfer window does not directly handle transactions for consumers. Drive the vehicle to the market, and a used vehicle operating company will act as an agent to complete the transfer procedures: evaluation — vehicle inspection — ticket issuance. Both the buyer and seller need to sign the "Used Vehicle Purchase and Sale Contract," which comes in triplicate. The contract must be filed with the industrial and commercial department before the transfer procedures can proceed. Once the evaluation report is issued, the title transfer process can begin. The completed transfer certificate should be retained by the buyer, and the seller is advised to keep a copy as well.
