Can the 4S store delivery fee be refused?

4S store delivery fee can be refused. The new car delivery fee is unreasonable, and you can completely reject this unreasonable charge. The following are relevant introductions about car purchase precautions: 1. Determine the budget: When buying a car, first determine your budget range and reasonably estimate your financial ability. Do not blindly choose a high price that exceeds your financial capacity. The cost of the car plus insurance and daily maintenance are considerable expenses. Act within your means and do not let the car become a burden to you. If you are not in a hurry to buy a car, it is best to choose a time when the car price is lower and the market price is relatively stable, generally during the off-season from March to August. 2. Inspection when picking up the car: When picking up the car, pay attention to the body gaps and paint surface. Check the door gaps and the gaps of the front and rear bumpers, open the door to observe whether there is any color difference between the internal and external paint, etc. Inside the car, you can check the odometer mileage reading, whether the seat protective packaging and the plastic paper on the front of the car are intact, and whether there are any dirt on the driver's seat and dashboard, etc. Pay attention to whether the manufacturing date and the pickup date are too far apart. If the time is too long, the car may be a display car or a refurbished car (test drive car). Start the car to feel the operating status, such as whether there is any abnormal noise, whether the vehicle fault light is on, etc.
As a frequent car buyer, I can definitely refuse to pay the 'delivery fee'! In many 4S store transactions, they love to add various extra charges like delivery fees and service fees, which are essentially just ways to squeeze more money out of buyers. I remember last time I bought a car, the salesperson suddenly mentioned a 500-yuan delivery fee. I immediately said it was unreasonable, and they quickly backed down after I refused to pay. The key is to negotiate firmly before signing the contract and don't let them fool you. Carefully review the contract terms to ensure you only pay the base vehicle price, taxes, and necessary administrative fees. These fees from 4S stores are usually not legally required, and consumer protection laws support us in paying only the publicly listed fees. Research market prices in advance, compare prices from multiple stores, and the money saved can be used for maintenance or fuel. In short, the delivery fee is just extra profit for 4S stores—don't hesitate to say no to paying it.
