The largest used car market in Shanghai is the Shanghai Used Motor Vehicle Trading Market. The address is No. 2907, Zhongshan North Road, Putuo District, Shanghai (near Wuning Road). Here are some precautions when buying a used car: 1. Pay attention to the appearance: Some used cars have been in accidents. To increase the value of these used cars, dealers may refurbish them, repaint them to make them look newer. So when buying a car, pay attention to the appearance, observe all corners of the car and whether the parts have been repainted, and check if there are signs of wear on the tires, headlights, and bumpers. 2. Pay attention to the chassis and frame: After a car has been in an accident, even if the exterior is well repaired, its frame and chassis are difficult to restore. If you find any deformation or bending, be careful, as this car may be an accident vehicle. 3. Pay attention to the car's performance: When selecting a used car, tap the body to listen if the sound is normal, and start the car to listen if the engine sound is normal.

As a car enthusiast who frequents the used car market, I believe the largest used car market in Shanghai is the Anting Used Car Trading Center. The scale is truly astonishing—when I visited, the garages and exhibition areas were densely packed, covering almost all mainstream brands, with an extremely high transaction volume. The transportation is very convenient; just take Metro Line 11 to Anting Station, and it's right there. If driving, there's also a large free parking lot. My car-buying experience tells me why this place is so big: it gathers vehicles from various sources, including private transfers and 4S store trade-ins, offering great value for money. I once found an older-model Passat there, with transparent condition and no scams. But a word of caution—don’t be fooled by appearances. Always hire a professional inspection service to check the chassis and engine to avoid buying a flood-damaged or accident car. Overall, the Anting market is the top choice, with comprehensive services and peace of mind.

Does a motor vehicle need to undergo an inspection in its sixth year?

A motor vehicle needs to undergo an inspection in its sixth year. New vehicles within the first 6 years do not require an on-site inspection and can directly obtain the inspection compliance label. However, vehicles older than 6 years (including the sixth year) must undergo an annual inspection, which requires driving the vehicle to the inspection station. Below are the relevant regulations: 1. Trial exemption from inspection for non-operational passenger vehicles within 6 years. Starting from September 1, 2014, non-operational passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) within 6 years of registration are exempt from inspection. 2. For non-operational passenger cars and other small and mini passenger vehicles (excluding vans and vehicles with 7 or more seats) within 6 years of registration, during the biennial periodic inspection, the vehicle owner can directly apply for the inspection label from the traffic management department of the public security authority by providing proof of compulsory traffic accident liability insurance and proof of vehicle and vessel tax payment or exemption, without needing to undergo a safety technical inspection at an inspection station. 3. Before applying, the vehicle owner must resolve all traffic violations and accidents related to the vehicle. However, if the vehicle has been involved in an accident resulting in casualties, it must still be inspected according to the original inspection cycle. For vehicles registered for more than 6 years (including the sixth year), an annual inspection is still required; for vehicles older than 15 years (including the 15th year), two annual inspections are required.

How to Solve Fogging on the Car's Front Windshield?

Press the defogging button, turn on the air conditioning cooling (A/C) switch, set the temperature to the lowest, and turn on the external circulation to defog. Both cold and warm air can be used to defog the car glass, but warm air is slower than cold air. The most effective method is to use cold air, which blows dry cold air directly onto the glass, preventing water vapor from condensing on the glass and achieving the purpose of defogging. The method of using warm air to defog is the same as using cold air, but it should be noted that warm air should not be used for defogging on rainy days, as it may initially increase fogging. When the car glass fogs up, the external circulation should be turned on. The reason for fogging on car glass: There is a certain temperature difference between the inside and outside of the car. If the temperatures inside and outside the car are different, the surface of the side with the lower temperature will have a saturated vapor pressure lower than the surrounding environment's vapor pressure, causing water vapor to gather on the glass surface and form tiny water droplets, resulting in fogging. Methods to defog car glass: Air Conditioning Cooling: Use the air conditioning's dehumidification function to reduce air humidity and remove fog. In summer, especially when multiple people enter the car and the air conditioning is not turned on promptly, the exhaled air has high humidity, and the front windshield will quickly fog up. At this time, you can turn on the air conditioning to blow cold air onto the front windshield, using the dehumidification function to remove the fog quickly. However, if the humidity is too high and the air conditioning is not effective enough, you can slightly open the window to quickly reduce the humidity inside the car. Of course, combining this with the air conditioning will yield faster results. Air Conditioning Warm Air: Use the method of reducing the temperature difference to remove fog. In winter, blowing warm air onto the glass quickly raises the temperature of the front glass, reducing the temperature difference between the inner and outer surfaces of the window glass, thereby preventing excessive fogging on the front windshield. However, it should be noted that the rear and side glass temperatures rise more slowly, so it takes longer to remove all the fog. Whether the air conditioning is automatic or manual, turning it on helps with dehumidification. The air conditioning temperature control should not be set to the coldest position, as this may cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up over time. Spraying Anti-Fog Agents for Prevention: Spray a small amount of defogging agent on the car glass and wipe it clean to remove dirt and stains. While polishing the glass, a thin transparent protective film is formed, effectively preventing water vapor from condensing on the glass and forming fog. This is particularly suitable for cold winters. Alternatives to defogging agents include dish soap, soapy water, glycerin, alcohol, or salt water. After applying and letting it dry, use a chamois or soft dry cloth to wipe off any excess residue, ensuring the car glass remains fog-free for several days. Opening Windows for Airflow: If the fog inside the car is not too heavy, you can open the windows on both sides to create airflow between the inside and outside of the car, reducing the temperature difference and gradually dissipating the fog. The principle of this method is the same as using cold air from the air conditioning. The downside of opening windows for airflow is very obvious—it cannot be used during rain, snow, on highways, or when the fog is heavy. Rear Windshield Heating: Most cars have a rear windshield electric heating function, although the button locations may vary, the function is the same. Turn on the windshield heating switch, and the fog on the rear windshield will disappear in about a minute.
