How to Ensure the Car You Buy is Brand New?

[DiKaleb]

Here are methods to determine if a car is brand new: 1. Check the production date: Look at the nameplate on the co-pilot side, which indicates 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 considered stock inventory. 2. Check the odometer: The mileage should not exceed 50 kilometers. If you suspect the 4S store has tampered with the odometer, feel the exhaust pipe to see if there are any black marks, which indicate the car has been driven more than 50 kilometers. You can also pull out the oil dipstick to check if the oil is cloudy. 3. Check the tire production date: There are four consecutive numbers on the tire. The first two digits represent the week of production, i.e., the week of the year it was produced, and the last two digits represent the year. After determining the tire production date, ensure it corresponds with the production date on the co-pilot nameplate. 4. Check the glass production date: It should not be later than the car's production date.
