How many months does a new car count as inventory?

[MacClayton]

A new car is considered inventory if it has been more than six months from production to delivery, and for imported new cars, it is considered inventory if it has been more than one year from production to delivery. Comparison between inventory cars and new cars: Cars don't break down from being driven, but from sitting idle. For inventory cars that have been parked for months or even a year, the battery, various fluids, rubber components, paintwork, and related drainage holes will all be affected to some extent. Without professional knowledge and testing equipment, it is difficult for car owners to fully understand the condition of an inventory car, and they can only trust the seller. However, if the owner treats the inventory car correctly—such as starting the car periodically, cleaning it regularly, charging the battery periodically, and moving the car occasionally—then even a car that has been in inventory for over a year can still be in good condition.
