How Long After Ordering a Car Can You Pick It Up?
2 Answers
Generally, you can pick up the car within a month after ordering. For some customized imported cars, the waiting period starts from six months. When picking up the car, check all the vehicle documents: Including the purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, vehicle consistency certificate, vehicle registration certificate, warranty certificate, vehicle manual, new car delivery confirmation form. If the 4S shop is responsible for licensing and insurance, you also need to obtain the original insurance policy, insurance invoice, compulsory traffic insurance invoice, vehicle and vessel tax invoice, purchase tax invoice, tax payment certificate, and compulsory traffic insurance label from the seller. Precautions when picking up the car: For the exterior, check the paint, production date of the window glass, tires, trunk, and engine. For the interior, focus on checking the car's functions, such as lights, windows, rearview mirrors, dashboard, air conditioning, etc.
Last year I ordered a new car and couldn't wait to know when I could drive it. Generally speaking, the delivery time depends on the specific situation: if the car is in stock at the dealer, you might be lucky enough to get it in just a few days; but for popular models or customized configurations, like adding a special sunroof or electric seats, you might have to wait a few weeks or even two to three months. I remember last time my friend waited for a new car, there was a production delay from the manufacturer, which added another half month. I recommend asking the dealer about inventory status before placing an order, and also checking the impact of logistics and peak demand seasons, so as not to delay your travel plans. Logistics are faster in good weather, but can drag during rain or snow seasons. In short, patience is key—I've learned from experience that it's better not to schedule your plans too tightly while waiting.
