How to Check if a Car is New When Buying?
1 Answers
Here are the methods to check if a car is new when buying: 1. Check the production date: Look at the car's production date. If it was manufactured a long time ago, the car might be a stock vehicle. 2. Inspect the engine compartment: Open the engine compartment and check its cleanliness. A new car that hasn't been driven much should have a clean and tidy engine compartment, with a smooth engine surface free of marks and brand-new wiring without dust accumulation. 3. Examine the exhaust pipe: Insert a finger into the exhaust pipe to see if it's blackened. If it is, it indicates the car has been driven for a certain mileage. 4. Check the tires: New tires usually have computer lines like paint, and there should be tire hairs on the sides. These hairs wear off after 50~100 kilometers, so if they are completely gone, it suggests abnormal mileage. If obvious wear is visible on the tires, it further indicates the car has been driven a considerable distance.
