Do Used Cars Need to Be Depreciated?
1 Answers
Used cars need to be depreciated. A used car refers to a motor vehicle that has been registered with the public security traffic management authority, is still in service before reaching the national scrapping standard or within its economically useful life, and can continue to be used. In English, it is translated as "Second-Hand Vehicle" or "Used Car". Below are methods to check if a used car has been in an accident: 1. Check the glass production date: You can look at the production date of the glass, as normally, glass is not replaced. The glass date is usually in the format of numbers + dots, where the numbers represent the year and the dots represent the month. 2. Check the wear and tear on the frame: If the car has been involved in a major accident, the body frame will have varying degrees of dents and misalignment. Therefore, the extent of wear on the frame can indicate whether the car has been in a major accident. 3. Check the screws: You can inspect the screws on the hood, the radiator support, and the door connections. If any of these screws show abnormalities, it is almost certain that the car has been in a major accident. 4. Check the maintenance records: You can visit a 4S shop to inquire about the maintenance records. Any accident car that has been repaired at a 4S shop will have a system record there.
