I am earning 90,000 per month in india, and I want to buy my first car, how can I buy? Can a person who earns 90,000 afford a car worth 7-9 lakhs?
I would like to give you a different perspective. I would suggest buy a car that would cost you up-to maximum of 50% of your yearly salary.You have mentioned (Your First Car) so can I safely assume this will be the car that you will be learning driving on, just after you get your driving license?Key Reasons for this:A low cost car (could be a new one or a second hand premium car) would hurt you less when you have scratches, dents on it.You could use this for 2 years till you gain expertise and have dented the car during your learning period.Cost of insurance is building up. For smaller cars it could be between 8-12k, and the premium goes up as the cars price goes up. No one really cares what car you drive, unless you have extreme social pressure of owning an expensive car. You will not mind lending your car to your friend, neighbour, colleague knowing its just a means of transport (lower investment on the car).After 2 years, given your salary goes up to 15 LPA, you will think of buying a larger car or decide to stick to the present car itself.And if you are in Delhi, you may think of buying another car after 2 years with a (Odd/Even) number that you may need to :-)P.S: I have only bought second hand cars throughout which cost me less than a half years pay always. I pay less when I buy, I loose less when I sell!
Why does my car momentarily lose power after shifting gears?
You've asked several questions here...and also given some information that may have an impact on the answers you might get. You mention that the clutch is about to "go". If this is the case, it is typically manifested by "clutch slip" which is when you press the accelerator and the engine speeds up, but the car doesn't go any faster..i.e. the clutch is "slipping" against the flywheel/pressure plate without transferring the increased rpm of the engine to the transmission. If the clutch is indeed slipping, then this phenomenon is most noticeable right after you change gears, because your putting more demands on the engine (i.e. accelerating) and attempting to put more torque from the engine into the transmission (via the clutch) which causes it to slip more than it might in steady-state driving at a constant speed. If you are experiencing a slipping clutch you most likely need to replace it and afterward the car should accelerate smoothly and there will be a synchronicity between engine speed and car speed.Now, if your clutch is NOT slipping and your experiencing a perceived loss of power after shifting gears, it may just be that the engine rpm are dropping off too far before you reengage the clutch and resume acceleration. If this is the case, you may be taking too much time between disengaging the clutch (by pressing the clutch pedal) and re-engaging it (by lifting off the clutch pedal) When shifting gears, the clutch pedal should be pressed and released fairly quickly as part of a smooth, movement synchronized with moving the shift lever from one gear to the next. If you are pausing in the middle of the shift, or taking too long to reengage the clutch, the engine rpm will fall and the engine will be making less power than it was at the higher rpm level it was when you initiated your gear change. The idea is to keep the engine in a range of rpm that produces enough power to smoothly take up the level of acceleration you're trying to achieve while changing up through the gears.
How much money do Uber drivers make?
I was making $26,00 an Hour in late 2017.I was making $20.00 an Hour first part of 2018.Now, most of 2018, went down to around $12.00 Per Hour.NOW IN 2019, I am Averaging less than $6.00 Per Hour.GAS, UBER PAYS NOTHING FOR GAS, AND ONLY 0.059 CENTS A MILE.They used to pay $0.89 Cents a Mile. So they killed the drivers there..Now The Criminal Scum Bags at Uber pay 59 cents a mile,But, also “ADJUST” the price, to pay the drivers even less!!!!!!!!!THIS GIANT PONZI RIPS OFF DRIVERS, BANKRUPTS DRIVERS, AND ANYONE ELSE THAT THE CRIMINAL PONZI SCUM BAGS AT UBER TOUCHIN 2019, ALL THEY DO IS LIE, CHEAT, STEAL, AND ROB THEIR DRIVERS.THEY TAKE 60% of what the customer pays, and pays ZERO for GAS…UBER ARE CRIMINAL PONZI PRICKS WHO ALL NEED TO GO TO JAIL FOR BANKRUPTING MILLIONS OF DRIVERS.THEY TELL SO MANY LIES TO THE PUBLIC ABOUT HOW THEY TAKE CARE OF DRIVERS.. You know how they take care of drivers?First they offer 2,000.00 to JOIN, so you go out and by a 10 thousand dollar car..Uber takes 10% to 20% from a new driver..Uber promise all drivers they average taking 20%.In 2019, UBER IS AVERAGING 56% and paying nothing for Gas!Then they give customers 50% off, but that 50% comes out of the DRIVER.Uber will offer other things, like $5,00 RIDE ANYWHERE in the CITY,What happens to the driver? He gets screwed and does not even get gas money!Now Uber hires thousands of people who;s only job is to screw drivers 24/7UBER IS A CRIMINAL GROUP OF SCUM BAG CRIMINALS!
Can a clogged catalytic converter unclog itself?
Well, it can happen that they will de-clog on their own, but usually need a helping hand. If it is utterly blocked, then dismantling and manually cleaning is the only solution.If the ceramic material inside is melted, then change it.Most modern Cats are stuffed with a ceramic honeycomb structure, unlike the older ones that had complex filters with platinum wool amongst other stuff inside them.One of the reasons they get clogged is people lugging around in fifth gear making lots of soot which clogs the honeycomb.A faulty EGR valve (gas recirculation) will do the trick as well.Faulty injection, allowing to much fuel to come through the exhaust can cause the honeycomb to melt when it starts burning the fuel... (replacement)But you can clear a blocked (not 100% blocked) converter by getting it hot enough to make it finish what it is supposed to do.The garages here in France have a naughty technique, they hoist the car up on lift with the motor going flat out, and stand underneath it holding a fire extuinguisher, just in case it sets fire to the car, or any flames from the now burning soot comes blasting out of the rear.It is a dangerous technique in my opinion, and not good for the engine, but it works. I don't suppose it works everytime either.So if you have a CAT that is partially blocked because you mooch around in fifth gear or have bad driving habits, you could try driving the vehicle hard enough to heat the CAT as it should be, where usually it can clear itself.So , if it is soot build up, there is hope for you, to unclog it without taking it off the vehicle and or changing it, if it is hard blocked with mineral deposits, unlikely. If it is melted, its got to be changed.
