How to Determine if a Car is New?
1 Answers
Here are the methods to determine if a car is new: 1. Check the nameplate on the co-pilot side, which shows the production date. For domestic cars, it should not exceed 3 months, and for imported cars, it should not exceed six months. Otherwise, it is a stock car. 2. Check the odometer, which should not exceed 50 kilometers. If you are afraid that the 4S store has adjusted the meter, touch the exhaust pipe to see if there are any black signs. If there are, it means the car has traveled more than 50 kilometers. You can also pull out the oil dipstick to observe whether the oil is turbid. 3. Check the production date of the tires. There are four numbers connected together on the tire. The first two digits indicate the week of production, that is, the week of the year in which it was produced, and the last two digits indicate the year. For example, 2018 is 18. If it is 2518, it means the tire was produced in the 25th week of 2018. 4. Check the production date of the glass. It cannot be later than the production date of the whole car. There are many English letters in the lower corner of the car glass, and at the bottom, there are small dots and numbers. The dots represent the month, and the numbers represent the year. If the dots are in front of the numbers, it means it was produced in the first half of the year. Subtract the number of dots from 7 to get the production date in the first half of the year. If the dots are in the second half of the year, subtract the number of dots from 13 to get the month.
