Is a car within 5 months considered a stock vehicle?

[VonCamille]

A car within 5 months is not considered a stock vehicle. Normally, cars over 6 months are classified as stock vehicles. However, whether it's a stock vehicle or not, it's essential to inspect the car's condition and ensure there are no issues before taking delivery. Precautions for selecting stock vehicles: 1. Check rubber components for signs of aging, focusing on parts like wipers, engine belts, and tires; 2. Start the engine and check for any abnormal operation; 3. Inspect the battery for any issues. Modern batteries often have a green light indicating normal status and a gray light indicating an issue. You can test the battery by turning on high-power-consuming devices like high beams for about 10 minutes with the engine off; 4. The paint of stock vehicles is often less glossy, so it's advisable to polish and wax the car after taking delivery.
