To ensure you're truly getting a brand-new car, it’s essential to verify the manufacturing date. Dealers sometimes sell cars that may have been in inventory for several months, and in some cases, up to a year or more. Checking this date helps you avoid paying a premium for a vehicle that might be technically "new" but was manufactured well before your purchase. It’s a key step for ensuring your investment in a new vehicle matches your expectations.
