How Long is Considered as Inventory Car?

[LeElliot]

Vehicles that have been in inventory for more than six months from the date of manufacture to being sold to customers are considered inventory cars. There is no clear legal definition for inventory cars, but the term 'inventory car' is indeed used in the automotive sales industry to refer to vehicles that remain unsold for over six months. Cars that have been in production for more than a year are classified as severely aged inventory cars. Issues that may arise with inventory cars include: 1. Various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires in a new car, if left idle for an extended period without periodic inspection and maintenance, are prone to moisture damage and aging; 2. For inventory cars that have been parked for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products is often undetectable without professional testing equipment. Many long-term inventory vehicles also suffer from insufficient oil and battery power.
