Can a New Car with a Manufacturing Date Over 6 Months Be Accepted?
1 Answers
Vehicles with a production date exceeding 6 months are considered inventory cars. Due to prolonged storage, these inventory cars may experience issues such as degraded engine oil, battery depletion, premature paint deterioration, damp electronic components, and aging rubber parts. Continuing to drive such vehicles can significantly reduce their service life. Therefore, purchasing a brand-new car is more reliable. Below are methods to identify inventory cars: 1. Check the production date: Vehicles with a manufacturing date over half a year can be identified as inventory cars. 2. Inspect tire rubber for aging: Inventory cars stored outdoors are prone to rubber aging due to exposure to high temperatures, sun, and rain, as are other rubber components (wiper blades, sunroof seals, etc.). 3. Examine the chassis: Before purchasing, request the 4S store staff to lift the vehicle and check for shock absorber oil leaks and rust on the exhaust pipe and muffler.
