How Long Before a Car is Considered Stock Inventory?

[DeLane]

A car is considered stock inventory if it has been over three months since its production date. Methods to check if a new car is stock inventory include: 1. Check the vehicle's nameplate; 2. Inspect tire wear and the production date; 3. Check if the inner wall of the exhaust pipe is clean; 4. Look for dust in the engine compartment, check if components are deformed or discolored, neatly arranged, and show no signs of removal; 5. Examine rubber parts of the car body for aging or detachment. Precautions for using a new car include: 1. Warm up the car before starting; 2. Avoid sudden acceleration or deceleration to prevent damage to parts; 3. Control engine speed during the break-in period to avoid high RPMs that could damage the engine; 4. Change the gear oil after driving 2,000 kilometers and pay attention to vehicle maintenance; 5. Get full insurance coverage for the new car and install a dashcam to avoid unnecessary disputes and losses.
