You cannot buy it. Every 4S store is basically equipped with test drive cars, especially for some popular models where manufacturers directly require 4S stores to provide test drive services. After these test drive cars are retired, they can be pushed into the market. Although the cars are relatively new with short mileage, they have already been registered and driven on the road, hence called new second-hand cars. More details about test drive cars are as follows: 1. Test Drive Cars: These are provided to allow customers to experience the driving and power feel of the vehicle more realistically, to enhance their desire to purchase, simulate the feeling of becoming an owner, and increase the probability of closing a deal. Test drive cars can drive normally on the road, indicating they have been registered and are second-hand cars, possibly with shorter mileage. Most manufacturers have strict management regulations for test drive cars, which can only be used for customer test drive services. Generally, the retirement or replacement cycle for test drive cars is one year, with most mileage between 3,000-5,000 kilometers. 2. Retired Test Drive Cars: These are cars with relatively short mileage and well-maintained condition. Of course, some test drive cars may have been involved in accidents, which requires on-site inspection.

Inspection inside the testing line: The staff will drive the vehicle into the testing line for inspection, and the owner can wait at the final license plate area. The main inspections include exhaust emissions, lights, chassis, etc. As long as the vehicle has not been modified or has any faults, it can basically pass the inspection. If it doesn't pass, there are usually repair shops nearby where you can fix the issues and then return for another inspection.

Does a Paint Job Count as an Accident Vehicle?

If it's just a paint job, strictly speaking, it does not count as an accident vehicle. Here are the relevant details: 1. Accident Vehicle: An accident vehicle refers to a vehicle that has suffered damage from non-natural wear and tear incidents, resulting in decreased mechanical performance and economic value. Generally, an "accident vehicle" refers to one with structural damage. Additionally, flood-damaged vehicles and fire-damaged vehicles also fall under the category of "special accident vehicles." 2. Identification Methods: Ways to identify an accident vehicle include: exterior inspection, light inspection, checking insurance records, and examining the interior. 3. Note: For mainstream car models, regardless of which city the maintenance or repairs were performed in, the manufacturer's database will have records. These records can be accessed by authorized 4S shops. Before purchasing a used car, it is highly advisable to visit a 4S shop to check the vehicle's maintenance and repair history. Journalists attempted to contact several 4S shops in Shanghai and found that as long as the current license plate number and owner's name are provided, the 4S shops are willing to provide this information.

Can I Only Replace the Front Pair of Tires?

No, you should replace at least two tires to ensure driving safety. The reasons are as follows: 1. Different tread patterns increase danger. Replacing two tires is safer because if only one tire is replaced, the tread patterns on both sides of the vehicle will differ, significantly increasing the risk while driving. Replacing two tires ensures similar tread patterns and wear levels on both sides, greatly improving driving safety and stability. 2. For front-wheel-drive vehicles, new tires should be placed on the front: Front-wheel-drive vehicles require higher grip from the front tires. During sudden braking, the vehicle's center of gravity shifts forward. If the front tires lack sufficient grip, accidents are more likely to occur. Therefore, new tires for front-wheel-drive vehicles should be installed on the front wheels. 3. For rear-wheel-drive vehicles, new tires should be placed on the rear: Rear-wheel-drive vehicles are prone to rear-wheel slippage, and power is concentrated on the rear wheels. If the rear tires are severely worn, their grip weakens, increasing the risk of rollovers during driving, especially on wet or slippery roads or during sharp turns.
