How to Tell if a Car is a Stock Vehicle When Buying?

[VanRobert]

Methods to identify a stock vehicle when purchasing a car are: 1. After a new car leaves the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires may deteriorate due to prolonged storage without periodic inspection and maintenance, leading to issues like moisture damage and aging. 2. For stock vehicles stored for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products cannot be detected without professional testing equipment. Many overstocked vehicles may experience oil or power shortages. Additional information: 1. The term "stock vehicle" is specific to the automotive sales industry, referring to new cars that have remained unsold for an extended period after leaving the factory. 2. Generally, cars that have been in storage for over three months or six months are considered stock vehicles. For imported cars, due to the time-consuming processes of transportation, customs declaration, and clearance, the threshold is more lenient, typically classifying them as stock vehicles if stored for over six months or a year.
