How to Tell If the Car You Bought Is New

[McEmilia]

Methods to determine if the car you bought is new: 1. Check the production date on the nameplate located on the co-pilot side. For domestically produced cars, it should not exceed 3 months, and for imported cars, it should not exceed 6 months. Otherwise, it may be a stock car. 2. Check the car's odometer, which should not exceed 50 kilometers. If you suspect the dealership has tampered with the odometer, you can feel the exhaust pipe for black residue, which indicates the car has been driven more than 50 kilometers. 3. Inspect the production date of the tires. There are four consecutive numbers on the tires; the first two digits represent the week of production (the week of the year), and the last two digits represent the year. 4. Open the engine hood and check the screws for any signs of being turned.
