What Exactly Constitutes a Stock Vehicle?

[BarrettMarie]

About the definition of a stock vehicle: it refers to a vehicle that has been in storage for more than three months or half a year since its production. Below are the drawbacks of stock vehicles: 1. Component Aging: After leaving the factory, various fluids, electronic components, batteries, rubber seals, and tires in a new car can easily suffer from moisture damage and aging if left idle for extended periods without periodic inspection and maintenance. 2. High Maintenance Costs: Only a very few dealerships implement periodic inspection and maintenance measures. While the actual cost is not high, it consumes manpower and time. Some 4S stores even park their stock vehicles in open-air garages, exposing them directly to sun, wind, and rain. 3. Frequent Quality Issues: For vehicles stored for too long, without proper warehouse management, the aging of electronic components and rubber products is often undetectable without professional testing equipment. Many long-stored vehicles also face issues like oil or battery depletion.
