How many months does it take for a car to be considered a stock vehicle?

[VonMalachi]

A car is considered a stock vehicle if it has been in stock for more than three months, but the term 'stock vehicle' has no legal definition. For imported cars, due to the considerable time spent on transportation, customs clearance, and entry procedures, the timeframe is more lenient, and cars stored for more than six months or a year can be called stock vehicles. It is important to regularly clean stock vehicles, charge the battery, and move the vehicle frequently. Even if a car has been in stock for over a year, its condition may still be good. Inside the engine compartment of a car, there is a vehicle identification plate that displays the production date of the car. Many parts of the car also have detailed production dates, such as the headlights, glass, radiator frame, radiator, generator, compressor, tires, etc. The production dates of the car's components should all be earlier than the car's production date; otherwise, they have been replaced later. When inspecting a car, owners can check the production dates of the main components.
