How Long Does It Take for a Car to Be Delivered from the Production Line to the 4S Store?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, it generally takes about a month for a vehicle to be delivered from the production line to the 4S store, depending mainly on the transportation distance and the efficiency of the staff. Typically, it takes 10 to 15 days, but if the model is in short supply or resources are tight, it can take up to 3 months. Additionally, the delivery time is also affected by peak and off-peak seasons, with peak seasons being faster. If the manufacturer's location is close to the 4S store, delivery will also be quicker. Below is a detailed explanation: 1. Order: It takes a certain amount of time for a new car to arrive at the store. Generally, after a consumer places an order, the 4S store will make a plan based on the order and report it to the manufacturer. Once confirmed, the vehicle can be shipped, which usually takes at least 10 to 15 days. The 4S store will communicate this timeframe with the consumer. For popular models that are in high demand and low inventory, the wait time can be longer. For example, in recent years, small-displacement and new energy vehicles have been particularly popular and in high demand, leading to insufficient inventory at 4S stores, which extends the delivery time for consumers. 2. Proximity Principle: Since large-brand vehicle manufacturers are not limited to just one, vehicle sources are diversified, and delivery is based on the proximity principle. For less popular models, some dealers may directly purchase them for resale, which lowers the purchase price, increases profits, and makes the delivery time faster and more convenient for consumers.
