How Many Months Old is Considered a Stock Vehicle?

[DiJosie]

For domestic brand vehicles, those that remain unsold for more than six months after leaving the factory are considered stock vehicles. For imported brand vehicles, the threshold is 12 months. Below is relevant information: 1. Level 1 Stock Vehicle: Unsold for 3~6 months from the production date. These vehicles offer great value for money. The issues with Level 1 stock vehicles may include deteriorated engine oil and the need for paint surface maintenance. After purchase, it's advisable to change the engine oil and apply wax to protect the paint. 2. Level 2 Stock Vehicle: Unsold for 6~12 months. These vehicles may face issues such as deteriorated engine oil due to prolonged parking, potential deformation of tires from long-term pressure on one spot, and possible rust on the body. 3. Severely Stocked Vehicle: Models unsold for over a year are not recommended due to potential quality issues and low market acceptance.
