How to Identify New Cars and Refurbished Cars?
1 Answers
Here are methods to identify refurbished cars: 1. Place of purchase: When buying a car, choose an authorized 4S dealership to ensure the car's origin and minimize the risk of getting a refurbished car. 2. Check the car's certificate: Look at the production date, odometer reading, chassis number, etc., to see if there are any irregularities or signs of tampering. If there are, be cautious about it being a refurbished car. Note that the odometer reading should only be taken as a reference. 3. Inspect the brake discs: If the brake pads appear unusually smooth, it indicates wear from frequent braking, which might suggest the car has been heavily used and could be refurbished. 4. Check the engine nameplate: It shows the engine's production date. If the date is too far in the past, it may not be a popular model. If it's several years old, further inspection is needed to confirm if it's a refurbished car. 5. Observe the engine's mounting screws: If there are scratches or signs of removal, the car might have been repaired, indicating it's not a new car or at least a repaired new car. 6. Examine the car's exterior: If there are paint spots or color inconsistencies, it's likely a refurbished car, as new cars wouldn't have these issues.
