Can cars be ordered directly from the official website?
2 Answers
Cars can be ordered directly from the official website. Regarding pricing: Before placing an order, it's advisable to research the vehicle model online, including basic configuration differences and price discounts. After gaining a preliminary understanding of the model and discount range, you can then negotiate with sales consultants at 4S stores. It's recommended to compare options from multiple dealers. Order contract: Before signing the contract, ensure all pricing and complimentary items are agreed upon. Pay attention to the order type when drafting the contract. Vehicle information verification: Confirm the model, chassis number, engine number, and color of the purchased vehicle. Particularly, make sure both the vehicle code and identification number are clearly stated to avoid any issues during vehicle pickup.
Yeah, nowadays many car brand official websites support direct online ordering, and the process is super simple: For example, I helped a friend buy a Tesla—just clicked on the screen on the official website, selected the model, configuration, color, etc., paid a deposit to confirm, and received a text message notification for the delivery time. It saves the hassle of visiting dealerships and haggling over prices. However, not all brands offer this service. Luxury brands like Porsche might allow it, but traditional brands like Toyota’s website might just be a query tool, directing you to local dealers for transactions. My experience in first-tier cities has been great, but in smaller areas, you might still need to pick up the car, inspect it, and handle paperwork at a physical store, and arrange insurance yourself. The future trend is more brands adopting online direct sales, like new EV startups—transparent and efficient, definitely worth trying.
