Is it advisable to purchase a joint-venture car that has been in stock for over half a year?

Whether it's a domestic independent brand or a joint-venture car, if it has been in stock for more than six months, it is considered a stock vehicle.

Additionally, there are branch factories in various cities, allowing for flexible scheduling. Therefore, joint-venture cars generally do not stay in stock for more than six months. If you find a new car that has been in stock for over six months, it is a stock vehicle, and you might want to consider other options.

What to Do When the Haval H6 Runs Out of Battery?

If the Haval H6's battery is dead, first find a few people to push-start the car; it will start charging once the engine is running. Generally, if the battery is completely drained, it may need replacement. Additional Information: 1. The car battery, also known as a storage battery, is a type of battery. Its normal service life ranges from 1 to 8 years, depending largely on the vehicle's condition and regular maintenance. The battery is most vulnerable to low temperatures, as its capacity is significantly lower in cold environments compared to normal temperatures. 2. Daily driving precautions: (1) Avoid parking the car in an open parking lot for extended periods. If long-term parking is necessary, remove the battery to prevent damage from freezing. (2) Avoid multiple uninterrupted attempts to start the car, as this can cause the battery to over-discharge and burn out. Each starting attempt should not exceed 5 seconds, with intervals of at least 15 seconds between attempts. If the car fails to start after multiple attempts, check other potential issues such as the electrical circuit, ignition coil, or fuel system. (3) Do not use car electronics after turning off the engine. Using the battery alone without the engine generating power can cause damage. The car battery should be charged regularly, as prolonged disuse leads to gradual self-discharge and increases the risk of failure.
