As a commodity, the car in stock is huge, expensive and costly to store. At the same time, it takes up a lot of money from dealers, so dealers generally do not allow commercial vehicles to stock up for a long time. However, due to various reasons, there are indeed many cars on the market that have been shipped for more than three months.
Advantages of buying stock cars
The price is cheap, there are certain concessions, and the concessions are also very strong.
It really saves money for people who want to spend less money on high-end cars, and it is also possible to buy very good models. Disadvantages of buying stock cars
If the car is over one year old, although it is a new car, it has been parked in the warehouse for a long time, and rubber materials such as tires and sealing strips are prone to aging and may need to be replaced.
If the battery is parked in the warehouse for a long time, it may get water or even age, so it needs to be replaced.
If the stock car is parked for a long time, the engine oil, brake oil and gearbox oil of the car need to be replaced.
In addition, some vehicles in stock in 4s shops are parked outdoors, which will accelerate the premature aging of vehicle paint, and the humidity of the air may also cause electronic components to get wet. Outdoor dust will block all kinds of heat sinks and drainage holes of vehicles, and high-density inventory will inevitably rub the body of vehicles. Will there be quality problems with the stock cars?
The answer is no.
In fact, all trucks in 4S stores will go through PDI inspection before storage to ensure that the vehicles are in good condition before storage. After warehousing, the warehouse keeper will always pay attention to the state of the commercial vehicle, including regularly checking whether the appearance is complete and whether the battery is charged.
For 4S shops, of course, it is hoped that all vehicles can be sold in good condition, so as to avoid trouble in subsequent maintenance. After all, the warranty period begins when the car is sold and invoiced. What's more, for vehicles, the difference of several months will not have much impact on the quality of vehicles. The point is, is the stock car worth buying?
First look at the dealer's warehouse conditions. If the vehicle is parked in a clean room, no matter the scorching sun, rainstorm, dust and sundries, the impact on the vehicle is negligible.
Secondly, it depends on the dealer's inventory method, and whether the dealer can start the vehicle regularly in the right way to let the oil flow; Prevent the battery from overdischarge and charge the battery regularly; In order to prevent tire aging, the vehicle is often moved. If this can be done, the car condition will not appear obvious premature aging even if it is stocked for more than one year.
If you decide to buy a stock car, you must decide which necessary parts need to be replaced according to the length of the stock car. How many spare parts need to be replaced when buying a stock car and the difference between buying a stock car and a new car, and then weigh whether it is cost-effective to buy a stock car.
