How to Define Inventory Cars?
1 Answers
Generally refers to cars that have been in stock for more than a year without being sold. The following is relevant information about inventory cars: Check the vehicle nameplate: The nameplate contains a lot of information, including the engine model, engine displacement, and the production date of the car. Check the front windshield: The corner of the front windshield will have the production date of the glass. Unless the glass was damaged and replaced with new glass, it generally won't differ much from the production date of the entire vehicle. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number): Similarly, below the front windshield, there is a 17-digit VIN code, commonly referred to as the chassis number. It is roughly divided into three parts: the World Manufacturer Identifier (positions 1-3), the Vehicle Descriptor Section (positions 4-9), and the Vehicle Identifier Section (positions 10-17). The most important part to focus on is the 10th digit, which represents the manufacturing year. If it differs significantly from the current year, it indicates a long-term inventory car. Check the engine: Under normal circumstances, the engine compartment should be relatively clean, and the engine should start quickly, run smoothly without shaking, feel vibration-free when touched by hand, and produce minimal noise inside the car.
