How to Identify Whether It's a Stock Car?

[SanMason]

When purchasing a car, you can determine whether it's a new car or a stock car by checking the vehicle nameplate, tire wear, and manufacturing date. The vehicle nameplate is usually located below the B-pillar on the passenger side, mainly including the manufacturer's brand, model, engine power, total weight, manufacturing number, manufacturing date, and manufacturer name. Check the manufacturing month and year. If the manufacturing date is within three months of the purchase date, it is not a stock car. If it exceeds three months, it can basically be considered a stock car. Generally, new car tires show little to no wear, and the tire hairs on the sidewalls are clearly visible. If you notice the absence of tire hairs, pay attention and then check the tire's manufacturing date. There is a string of numbers on the tire sidewall, with the latter group representing the manufacturing year and the former group representing the week, allowing you to calculate the tire's manufacturing date. Then, compare it with the vehicle's manufacturing date on the nameplate. If the dates are close, it proves it's not a stock car. If there's a significant time difference, you need to be cautious.
