What is the Difference Between a Nearly New Car and a Brand New Car?
2 Answers
The differences between a nearly new car and a brand new car are: 1. Vehicle condition: Nearly new cars are vehicles that have been used for a short period and entered the market for resale; brand new cars are completely unused. 2. Mileage: The mileage of a nearly new car is less than 10,000 kilometers; the mileage of a brand new car is around 30 kilometers. Precautions when inspecting a brand new car include: Check the factory nameplate to confirm the vehicle's displacement and production date, then look for any signs of tampering or scratches on the nameplate. If there are signs of tampering, extra caution is needed. Methods to check the production date of a brand new car are: 1. Look at the nameplate below the B-pillar on the passenger side; 2. Check the certificate of conformity that comes with the new car—the production date is located in the upper right corner; 3. Look for a paper nameplate on the front windshield in front of the driver's seat.
I think a nearly new car is one that has been briefly used by someone else, with only a few thousand kilometers on it, and it looks almost like a brand-new car. The biggest advantage is that it's significantly cheaper because a new car depreciates as soon as it's driven off the lot, so buying a nearly new car can save you a lot of money. Plus, the purchase tax has already been paid, so you don’t have to cover that expense again. Although it looks new, there might be slight indentations on the seats and some wear on the tires, though these are hard to notice unless you look closely. I once bought one myself and saved over ten thousand yuan, and it felt just like driving a new car. However, one crucial point to remember is to have a knowledgeable person inspect it thoroughly before buying to avoid purchasing a car that’s been in an accident or flooded—otherwise, you could end up losing big.
