Will a repainted new car qualify for triple compensation?
1 Answers
If you discover that a newly purchased car has been repainted and it has been verified, generally, minor repainting does not qualify for triple compensation. Triple compensation is only applicable in cases of severe accidents or particularly serious fraudulent behavior by the dealer. Methods to determine if a car is new include: 1. Check the manufacturing date: The vehicle's manufacturing date should match the date on the certificate of conformity, which is usually difficult to alter. If the manufacturing date exceeds 15 days, it is considered an old car. 2. Inspect the brake discs: Most modern small passenger vehicles use disc brakes (at least for the front brakes), making the brake discs a reliable indicator. Typically, after driving more than 200 kilometers, the brake pads will leave noticeable marks on the brake discs. There is usually a 1-2 mm gap between the brake pads and the outer edge of the brake discs. After a certain distance of driving, a noticeable "ledge" (very low in new cars) will form on the outer edge of the brake discs.
