Can Showroom Cars at 4S Stores Be Purchased?

[AliyahLee]

Showroom cars at 4S stores can be purchased. The relevant details for inspecting a showroom car are as follows: 1. Verify the nameplate and various vehicle documents: Check the displacement, manufacturing date, chassis number, engine number, and other details on the nameplate. The numbers on the certificate must match the engine number and chassis number on the vehicle. Inspect vehicle documents, including the purchase invoice, vehicle certificate, warranty service card, and user manual. 2. Body paint, window glass, and interior: Carefully examine the paintwork, especially areas prone to scratches during transportation, and confirm there has been no repainting. Check the glass for damage or scratches, focusing on the visual quality of the windshield. Check the mileage, and ensure the dashboard and navigation screen still have their original protective films. Inspect the seats for any tears or wear. Open the sunroof to check for unusual noises. 3. Tires and chassis: Ensure the tires are in good condition, without wear, cracks, or bubbles. Check for any leaks (coolant, lubricant, brake fluid, electrolyte, refrigerant, or oil lines). Also, inspect various parts of the engine for oil leaks. 4. Engine compartment: Compare the engine number, ensure the compartment is clean and free of oil stains or rust, and listen for unusual noises during idle.

I recently researched showroom cars at 4S dealerships while considering purchasing a new vehicle. Honestly, showroom cars are indeed worth buying and often come with decent discounts. For example, the price might be several thousand yuan cheaper than a regular new car, which is highly attractive for budget-conscious buyers like me. However, you need to pay attention to details: showroom cars have often been sat in by many people, leading to slight wear on seats or interior trim, like the one I saw last time—the door handles and dashboard felt a bit worn. Always check if the mileage is below normal levels; if it’s only a few dozen kilometers, the overall condition should be almost like new. Also, ask the salesperson whether the warranty terms fully cover it—don’t save small money only to lose big. If you plan to buy, I suggest finding some free time to thoroughly test-drive and inspect the car at the dealership to avoid regrets later.

From my experience, buying a display car from a 4S dealership isn't an issue, but requires extra caution. Display cars usually come with attractive prices and significant discounts, which is great for budget savings. However, don't forget they've been sitting in the showroom for extended periods, with customers repeatedly opening/closing doors and getting in/out - this may cause interior loosening or accelerated part aging. Whenever I inspect display cars, I habitually check seat stitching, steering wheel wear, and tire pressure. Additionally, the engine might have experienced more start-ups; despite low mileage, it potentially bears greater hidden strain. Always insist on a test drive to listen for smooth engine operation. Salespeople often claim "it's just like new," but I still recommend verifying the warranty documentation for peace of mind.

Buying a showroom car is great. When I was considering a car change, I had my eyes on them. Generally, the prices are lower with attractive discounts. The mileage is usually low, and they drive smoothly just like new cars. My friend recently bought a showroom car and said apart from a slight human scent inside, there's no difference at all. The car condition is guaranteed, with the 4S store's warranty covering all parts. If you care about price advantages, it's a smart choice.
