Can I Take Delivery of a New Car with a Manufacturing Date Over 6 Months?

[DiSamantha]

It is possible to take delivery of a new car with a manufacturing date exceeding 6 months. Additional information is as follows: 1. Inventory Cars: Vehicles with a manufacturing date over 3 months are referred to as inventory cars. Currently, there are no specific legal restrictions regarding inventory cars. In the industry, new cars with a manufacturing date exceeding 3 months are termed as inventory cars, though some manufacturers extend this period to 6 months or even a year. For imported vehicles, due to factors like transportation, customs clearance, and inspection and quarantine, it's hard to say even if they've been in inventory for a year or more. 2. How to Determine a Vehicle's 'Birthday': You can check the vehicle's engine number. Some cars have an internal nameplate that lists information such as the engine number and manufacturing date. This nameplate might be visible when the hood is opened or located in a corner of the door. Consumers can inquire with sales personnel or request the vehicle's certificate of conformity, which also contains this information.
