What to Do If You Purchase a Stock Vehicle?
1 Answers
Due to the lack of a clear definition for stock vehicles in regulations such as the automotive three-guarantee policy, it can be somewhat challenging for consumers to request a refund or exchange if they purchase a stock vehicle. If a 4S store intentionally conceals information or claims the vehicle is a new car less than a year old, but upon delivery, the consumer discovers it is over a year old or even older, this constitutes fraudulent behavior. In such cases, the consumer is entitled to demand additional compensation for their losses, with the compensation amount being three times the price of the purchased product or service. Stock vehicles have the following disadvantages: 1. Tire deformation: Prolonged parking can cause deformation in the tires in contact with the ground, leading to premature wear and an increased risk of blowouts when driven. 2. Fluid deterioration: Fluids may deteriorate, and using them under unclear conditions could cause irreversible damage to the engine. 3. Battery depletion: Vehicles left unused for extended periods may suffer from prolonged battery depletion, potentially leading to early battery failure. 4. Paint aging: Most stock vehicles are stored outdoors, where exposure to sunlight accelerates the aging of the vehicle's paint and rubber seals, rain may cause moisture damage to electronic components, and dust can clog various cooling systems and drainage holes.
