Definition of Stock Cars?

[OZane]

Generally refers to cars that have been in stock for more than a year without being sold. Below are relevant details: 1. Check the Vehicle Identification Plate: Every car has its own "ID card," which is what we call the vehicle identification plate. The plate contains various information, including the engine model, engine displacement, and the production date of the car. The vehicle identification plate is usually located on one side of the engine, sometimes hidden. Some plates are found on the left side when the right car door is opened. Additionally, for vans, the plate is typically on the pillar behind the passenger seat. 2. Check the Front Windshield: The corner of the front windshield usually displays the production date of the glass. Unless the glass has been replaced due to damage, this date should not differ significantly from the car's overall production date. 3. Check the VIN: Similarly, below the front windshield, there is a 17-digit VIN code, commonly referred to as the vehicle identification number. It is broadly divided into three parts: the World Manufacturer Identifier (digits 1-3), the Vehicle Descriptor Section (digits 4-9), and the Vehicle Identifier Section (digits 10-17). The most important digit to note is the 10th one, which indicates the production year. If this year is significantly earlier than the current one, the car is likely a long-stocked vehicle. 4. Check the Engine: Normally, the engine compartment should be relatively clean. Upon starting, the engine should run quickly and smoothly without shaking. You shouldn't feel any vibration when touching the engine, and the sound of the engine working should be barely audible from inside the car.
