All these questions don't has a definte answer, this is my explanation :-& J) M. S( q! J
1. exterior of vehicle -- mainly for cosmetic purpose, appearance.; a0 n. ?; O9 s' B! C
2. Electrical system -- very important for vehicles from 1980 (?) onwards, most vehicle using computer to monitor the performance of different components of vehicle via numerous sensor, there is a catch, it should work for long time and hundred thousands of mileage, but if it stop working it will require a technicial with appropriate equiptment and time to find it out. A good example is the light bulb at home, it could last 5 years or 10 days.

Engine -- engine works well at " working temperature " depends on outdoor temperature, it might take anytime from 10 minutes to 30 minutes for your engine running at idling revoloution to build up the favourable temperature (as long as the temperature gauge moves away from its resting position ) otherwise there wil be excessive wear inside the cylinder later causing oil burn ( light blueish smoke with smell. ) ! s0 h/ z' ]: |! r' H. ~
