How many months should the manufacturing date of a new car not exceed?

[VanJeffrey]

You should check the vehicle's production date rather than the factory release date. If the time between the car's production date and the date of purchase does not exceed 6 months, you can buy it with confidence. Below is relevant information about inventory cars: Definition of inventory cars: For parallel-imported vehicles, the time from factory release abroad to import into the country varies depending on the factory's location (e.g., the U.S., Canada, Europe, or the Middle East), with the longest transit time being 3 months to reach the port. However, if there are delays in customs clearance at the port, this period may be longer. Therefore, imported models that have been in storage for more than 6 months since production are considered inventory cars. Tips for identifying inventory cars: The nameplate in the engine compartment will have the manufacturing year and month marked, and the time elapsed since then represents the actual storage duration of the vehicle.
