How to Identify a Stock Car When Buying a Car?
1 Answers
Here are the methods to identify a stock car: 1. Check the production nameplate: Usually, there is a nameplate on the lower part of the B-pillar on the right side (passenger side) of the vehicle, which indicates the production date of the vehicle, engine parameters, and other information, making it easy to see. 2. Check the glass: The production date of the glass is marked on the car glass. The number represents the year, and the black dots represent the month. If the black dots are in front, subtract the number of black dots from 7; if the black dots are behind, subtract the number of black dots from 13 to get the month. 3. Check the tires: It may not be 100% certain whether the car is a stock car, but the production date of the tires can give a rough estimate of the production time. The four-digit number indicates the week (first two digits) and the year (last two digits). By observing the tires, you can preliminarily judge whether the car has been driven many miles since production. New car tires should be relatively clean, and the tire hairs should still be intact. 4. Check the engine compartment: Open the engine hood and see if it is clean. If it is particularly dirty or has a lot of dust, it indicates that the car has been parked in a harsh environment.
