What is the best way to deal with purchasing an overstocked car?
2 Answers
Solutions for purchasing an overstocked car are as follows: 1. You can contact the 4S store to request a car replacement, refund, and compensation for losses. 2. If not replacing the car, request a partial refund and future maintenance and repair discounts, which should be included in the purchase contract to prevent them from reneging. The automobile manufacturing industry places great emphasis on timeliness. Normally, new cars can be completed from manufacturing to sale to buyers within one or two months. Cars that exceed 3 months or longer are generally considered overstocked. Since overstocked cars have been stored for a period of time, you can request the 4S store to inspect components such as engine oil, batteries, rubber seals, and tires. If there is wear or aging, replacement should be requested.
Recently noticed the steering wheel felt a bit off, and upon closer inspection of the tire date, realized it might be a stock car. My advice is to first go to the 4S store to demand an explanation—don’t lose your temper just yet. Insist they give you a free comprehensive check-up, especially focusing on battery voltage, oil viscosity, and tire condition, as these are most prone to issues from long-term storage. Make sure they document in writing that the warranty period is recalculated from the delivery date, and try to negotiate for complimentary maintenance sessions or extended warranty on key components. If the paint has become rough from exposure, push for a full polish and wax. If negotiations stall, calling the manufacturer’s 400 hotline to file a complaint is far more effective than arguing with the sales staff.
