Used Epicas are inexpensive because this model has a very low resale value, with the residual value dropping below 50% by the second year after purchase. Here are the reasons why used Epicas don’t hold their value well: Brand Power: Chinese car buyers place great importance on brand reputation. However, the Chevrolet Epica, as a mid-size sedan, faces strong competitors in its class, such as the Accord, Camry, Magotan, and Passat. Many people may not even be aware of the Epica’s existence. Quality: According to statistics on the number of faults per 100 Epicas over 3-5 years, 30% of the issues are related to the powertrain. Market Share: Generally, the higher a model’s market share, the greater its recognition and resale value in the used car market. The Epica clearly falls short in this aspect.

How to Handle a Tire Pressure Warning in a Car?

When a tire pressure warning appears in your car, follow these steps: First, pull over safely with hazard lights on, gradually slow down, observe the surroundings for safety, and park on the right side of the road, setting up a safety warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle; rule out false alarms, immediately inspect the tires, change the tire or call for assistance. Below are the detailed steps: 1. Pull over safely. Upon noticing the tire pressure warning, first turn on the hazard lights, gradually slow down, observe the surroundings for safety, and park on the right side of the road. If parking on a highway, try to stop within the emergency stopping lane and set up a safety warning sign 150 meters behind the vehicle. 2. Rule out false alarms. Tire pressure monitoring systems work in two ways: active tire pressure monitoring and passive tire pressure monitoring. The former operates by setting a tire pressure value and triggers an alarm when the pressure is too low or there is a leak, while the latter monitors tire pressure by detecting the rotation speed of the tires, as underinflated tires rotate faster than normal ones. In daily life, there are four main reasons that may trigger a tire pressure warning: a punctured tire or air leakage; failure to reset the tire pressure settings after replacing or repairing a tire; failure to reset the tire pressure settings after inflating the tires; the car being parked for an extended period without use. Therefore, it is recommended to conduct a self-check first. 3. Change the tire or call for assistance. After the above inspection, if the tire pressure continues to drop, exit the vehicle to inspect the faulty tire. During this time, keep the hazard lights on, wear reflective clothing, and ensure a safety warning sign is set up at a safe distance behind the vehicle. If a tire is found to be leaking or damaged, use the car's jack to replace it with the spare tire.

Why Do Tire Sidewalls Bulge?

Tire sidewalls bulge because one or more steel wires inside the tire have broken, causing the rubber to be unable to withstand the internal pressure of the tire, leading to bulging. It is necessary to replace the tire promptly to prevent continued use from resulting in a tire blowout. Tires are circular elastic rubber products assembled on various vehicles or machinery to roll on the ground, mounted on metal rims to support the vehicle body. The maintenance methods for tires are: 1. Avoid curbs and potholes to prevent the sidewall cords from breaking and causing tire bulging; 2. Regularly remove debris from the tread to avoid blowouts; 3. Check the tire wear and replace them in time; 4. Regularly check the tire pressure, which should not be too high or too low.
