Yesterday I went to the dealership to check out the Nissan Qashqai Leading Edition. Considering the installment plan, the purchase tax is 8309, and the insurance is 4400. The total comes to 11.48. Not sure if it's expensive or not.

Yesterday, I went for maintenance, and they usually use 5W-30 oil. But this time, the technician used 5W-40 oil. I'm not sure if this will have any impact.

When will the HiPhi X switch to 120 and 160-degree batteries? I'm planning to wait for the battery upgrade before purchasing. Will the upgrade lead to a price increase? How long does it usually take to get the car delivered?

Yesterday, I went for a car maintenance, and the oil draining took a bit longer. The mechanic said that adding just over 4 liters of oil wasn't enough, so they added a bit more, totaling 5 liters. Is this reasonable?

Guys, need some help. My Hongqi EHS9 460 Flag Enjoy suddenly has a dead battery today, but it was running fine yesterday. Jump-started it and went to the dealership for a full day check, but they couldn't find the problem. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any advice?

The 2012 manual luxury version of the Honda City had an invoice price of 100,100 RMB. Was this car really that expensive at the time? The purchase tax was over 8,000 RMB.

Based on the situation you described, you have a budget of 30w provided by your parents to buy a car, and your internship salary is 6k per month. Your living expenses like food and housing are covered by your parents, but other expenses are your responsibility. To determine if 6k is enough to maintain the car, consider the following: 1. **Fuel Costs**: Calculate the fuel cost based on the car's fuel economy and current fuel prices. You plan to drive about 1500km a month, so this will be a significant factor. 2. **Insurance**: Check the cost of car insurance in your area for a new driver. 3. **Maintenance and Repairs**: Consider regular maintenance costs and unexpected repairs. 4. **Other Expenses**: Include costs like registration, parking, and tolls. If your monthly expenses for the car (fuel, insurance, maintenance, etc.) fit within your budget after accounting for your other personal expenses, then 6k might be sufficient to maintain the car. However, it's important to have some savings for unforeseen expenses.

I bought the 2019 Bestune T99 in September 2020. Since it was my first car purchase, I lacked experience and fell into many traps. Besides having many minor issues, I later discovered several parts were damaged. The tires were previously used, which immediately made me suspect that this car was probably a test drive vehicle. And I was right. A few days ago, I went to replace the turn signal lights and found that the wiring inside had been reconnected, and the connections were poorly done. Moreover, the production dates of the left and right turn signals were almost a year apart. (Cars from the factory have uniform dates.) After all these years, it's impossible to explain this to the dealership now! I hope everyone pays attention to details when buying a car to avoid being deceived.

Yesterday, I went to the dealership to check the air conditioning pressure. It was at 16 psi and the temperature was 7.6 degrees, and they said everything was fine. But by noon, it wasn't cooling anymore. 🤦‍♂️

I'm planning to buy a Panamera soon. Initially, I was considering a regular Panamera with options totaling around 140. But I recently discovered that the new Active Ride can only be selected on the e-Hybrid, which is about 16 more expensive even if I forgo some options. Can any owners share whether the Active Ride feature is worth the money? Is it cost-effective?

Yesterday, I went for the three-year warranty and maintenance. The after-sales service suggested I change my tires, saying the treads are almost worn out. I've driven 56,000 kilometers. How many kilometers did everyone else change their tires at? Has anyone switched to different tires? Continental is really too expensive for me. Are there any high cost-performance alternatives?
