Can the Car Pickup Be Completed in One Day?

Car pickup can be completed in one day. If you go in the morning, it will be done by 2 PM. Applying window film takes about two hours. Vehicle inspection during pickup: Exterior inspection should include checking the paint, production date of window glass, tires, trunk, and engine. For the interior, focus on testing car functions such as lights, windows, rearview mirrors, dashboard, and air conditioning. Check all vehicle documents: These include the purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, vehicle consistency certificate, vehicle registration certificate, warranty certificate, owner's manual, and new car delivery confirmation form. If the 4S shop handles license plate registration and insurance, you will also need to collect from the salesperson the original insurance policy, insurance invoice, compulsory traffic insurance invoice, vehicle and vessel tax invoice, purchase tax invoice, tax payment certificate, and compulsory insurance label.
It's entirely possible to complete car pickup in one day, but it depends on the situation. If you're paying the full amount in cash, prepare all documents in advance—ID card, purchase contract, compulsory insurance policy, which can all be done online. At the 4S store, they'll help you inspect the car: check the exterior, interior, start the engine to listen. If everything's fine, sign the handover form, make the payment, and drive home. The whole process can take just a few hours if it goes smoothly. But be aware, if it involves a loan, bank approval often takes time, possibly two or three days; many stores now handle new car registration, making it convenient to get a temporary license plate the same day. In short, the key is to communicate details well in advance, so you don't find out you're missing documents on the day. I've seen customers efficiently handle everything in one day, but if time allows, I recommend going on a weekday morning when there's less foot traffic for faster service.
Picking up a car in one day is totally doable, as my personal experience proves. When I bought a car last quarter, I negotiated the price and paid the deposit a week in advance, and selected the model. I arrived at the dealership at 9 a.m. that day with my ID card and household registration booklet, and the insurance had already been ordered online and taken effect. The salesperson took me to the garage to inspect the car, checking the tires, lights, and interior—all was good. Then I signed the documents, paid by card, and drove home by noon with a temporary license plate conveniently attached to the car. The whole process took 4 hours, but if you're getting a loan, it could delay things significantly—my neighbor waited three days for bank approval. A small tip: Call ahead to confirm everything is ready, including spare keys and manuals, to avoid unnecessary hassle. New car deliveries are usually smooth, but with used cars, it's wise to do extra checks to avoid hidden issues.
