No, a car manufactured 9 months ago can be considered as inventory stock. Below is relevant information about inventory cars: 1. Definition: There is no clear legal definition for inventory cars, but the automotive sales industry does recognize the term 'inventory cars', which generally refers to vehicles that have remained unsold for over a year. 2. How to Identify: Actually, there's no need to identify whether a car is an inventory vehicle or not. Firstly, the manufacturing date is clearly stated on the vehicle's nameplate. Secondly, dealers won't conceal the identity of an inventory car because it's impossible to hide. What needs to be determined is whether the car has been properly maintained and serviced during its inventory period.

Is the P Gear Equivalent to the Handbrake?

In automatic transmission vehicles, the P gear is not the handbrake. Below are relevant introductions about the P gear and the handbrake: 1. P Gear: P stands for Parking gear, used when parking (when turning off the engine and during prolonged idling). It is used for long-term parking, and its principle is to lock the car using the internal device of the transmission, so it must only be used when the car has come to a complete stop. 2. Handbrake: The professional term for the handbrake is auxiliary brake, which differs in principle from the main brake. It uses a steel wire cable connected to the rear brake shoes to brake the car. Long-term use of the handbrake can cause the steel wire to undergo plastic deformation. Since this deformation is irreversible, prolonged use will reduce its effectiveness, and the handbrake's travel will also increase.
