How to Distinguish a New Car?

[LaCody]

Methods to identify whether a car is new are as follows: 1. Check the odometer: It is normal for the odometer reading of a new car not to be zero when picking up the car. This is because a new car usually undergoes testing after production and may need to be moved during transportation. If the odometer reading is relatively high, there are two possibilities: either the car was driven directly from another location, or it might be a test drive vehicle. 2. Inspect the entire body appearance: Look for any signs of repairs. Repainted areas will differ from the original paint. Additionally, check for fingernail scratches under the four door handles, as test drive and display cars often have some scratches. 3. Check the manufacturing date: The production date of a car cannot be altered. Generally, the manufacturing date is indicated on the nameplate on the door. Other relevant information can also be found in the engine compartment and on the frame, which can be cross-checked for consistency. Typically, a manufacturing date within three months is considered normal; beyond that, the car may be classified as stock inventory.
