Owning one car and buying another will not incur additional taxes; the fees remain the same as for the first car. Below is relevant information about car taxes: 1. Car taxes: Include purchase tax, vehicle and vessel usage tax, comprehensive tax paid when purchasing imported vehicles, among other major components. 2. Vehicle purchase tax calculation formula: Vehicle purchase tax payable = taxable price × 10%. 3. Vehicle and vessel tax: Levied annually per vehicle. It is divided into 7 tiers based on the vehicle's engine displacement, ranging from 1.0 liters (inclusive) and below to over 4.0 liters.

I've been driving for over twenty years and now have two cars at home. The tax for buying a second car doesn't increase; the purchase tax is still 10% of the car's price, exactly the same as when I bought my first car. The annual vehicle and vessel tax is also calculated separately, with higher rates for larger engine displacements and lower rates for smaller ones. However, it's important to note that in cities with license plate restrictions like Beijing, Shanghai, or Guangzhou, it can be troublesome—you'll need to enter a lottery again or spend tens of thousands to bid for a plate. My neighbor bought a second car in Shenzhen last year and spent over 50,000 yuan just on the license plate, which is much higher than the taxes. So for ordinary people, the taxes for a second car are no different from the first one; it's just that the maintenance costs double—insurance, fuel, and parking fees all increase.

How often should a family sedan be driven when parked for long periods?

Sedans should be driven approximately once every two weeks when parked, and the engine should be started once a week to recharge the battery. This not only ensures the battery gets charged but also shifts the pressure points on the tires, which has no adverse effect on the car. Precautions for long-term parking of cars: 1. Precautions: Before parking the car, both the exterior and interior should be cleaned thoroughly; to prevent tire deformation, the tire pressure should be slightly higher than usual. The battery can be removed or disconnected to slow down the discharge rate. 2. Handbrake: Do not engage the handbrake too tightly. The braking system, when left idle for extended periods, can easily undergo chemical reactions with moisture and oxygen in the air, along with rain erosion, leading to varying degrees of rust on the brake discs and pads. If they stick together, it can affect braking performance and may cause the wheels to lock up upon restarting.

How Often Should the Transmission Fluid of Nissan Sylphy Be Changed?

Under normal circumstances, it is recommended to change it once within four years or 80,000 kilometers. This is because, under normal conditions, impurities from the air entering the transmission can contaminate the fluid, and component wear can also increase internal impurities. Additionally, exposure to oxygen can degrade the fluid's oxidation resistance. Over prolonged use, the fluid's anti-foaming and cleaning dispersion properties also diminish. Therefore, according to the design requirements of the fluid manufacturer, the transmission fluid should be replaced at regular intervals. Cooling function of transmission fluid: The interaction between gears generates a significant amount of heat, which needs to be dissipated by the lubricating fluid. Lubrication function of transmission fluid: It ensures smoother gear engagement. Cleaning function of transmission fluid: It maintains the cleanliness of the shifting system and extends the lifespan of the transmission components.

What are the impacts of a leaking car exhaust pipe?

The impacts of a leaking car exhaust pipe include: 1. Affecting the car's power; 2. Increasing fuel consumption; 3. Exacerbating noise levels. The exhaust pipe is part of the engine's exhaust system, which mainly consists of the exhaust manifold, exhaust pipe, and muffler, typically including a three-way catalytic converter to control engine pollutant emissions. The exhaust pipe generally includes a front exhaust pipe and a rear exhaust pipe. The exhaust pipe is installed between the engine exhaust manifold and the muffler, providing a flexible connection for the entire exhaust system. The structure of the exhaust pipe is a double-layer corrugated tube covered with a steel wire mesh sleeve, with clamping rings at both ends. To enhance the muffling effect, the corrugated tube can be equipped with an expansion joint or mesh sleeve internally.

Should You Press the Clutch When Decelerating in a Manual Transmission Car?

When decelerating in a manual transmission car, you don't need to press the clutch. However, when braking during driving, each gear must maintain a speed above the minimum threshold; otherwise, you should press the clutch to prevent stalling. The function of the clutch: While driving, the driver can press or release the clutch pedal as needed to temporarily separate or gradually engage the engine and transmission, thereby cutting off or transferring the engine's power input to the transmission. Correct operation when braking: First press the brake, then the clutch. This is because, in the initial phase of braking, releasing the throttle allows the engine to provide braking force. If you press the clutch first, it disconnects the engine, relying solely on the friction of the brake pads for braking, which increases the braking distance.
