How Long Does It Take from Ordering to Picking Up a Car?
2 Answers
If it's not a hot-selling model and the inventory is healthy, it usually takes about one month from ordering to picking up the car. Here are some precautions for picking up the car: Open the engine compartment: Open the engine compartment to check if it is clean and free of dirt, and ensure that the engine oil and other fluids are sufficient. Check car functions: Manually check if the doors open and close smoothly, if the windows roll up and down normally, if there is any strong odor inside the car, if the air conditioning cools, if the wipers work properly, and if the lights turn on normally. Inspect the exterior: Check the nameplate, open the engine compartment, and inspect the car functions. Park the car in an outdoor area with sufficient light to observe the body paint, ensuring there are no scratches or wear, the paint is even, and the paint appears transparent under sunlight reflection.
I just ordered a new car, and delivery will take about three to four weeks. It depends on whether the car is in stock—if it's a popular model or has special configurations, the wait could be longer. Last time, I waited a month because the dealer said there was a color shortage, and the car had to be shipped from another location. Shipping time is crucial—longer distances might add an extra week or two. I recommend checking inventory before placing an order. Don't fully trust online ads; call to confirm directly to avoid disappointment. Also, remember to review the delivery timeline in the purchase contract to prevent unnecessary delays. Overall, for popular brands or custom orders, don’t rush—just be patient.
