How Long Does It Take from Ordering to Receiving a Car?
2 Answers
It generally takes 20-30 days from ordering to receiving a car, depending on regional differences. Here are some considerations when buying a car: 1. Determine the budget: First, set your budget range and reasonably estimate your financial capacity. Avoid blindly choosing high-priced cars that exceed your financial means. 2. Inspection upon delivery: When picking up the car, pay attention to the body gaps and paintwork. Check the door gaps and the gaps between the front and rear bumpers. Open the doors to observe if there is any color difference between the interior and exterior paint. Inside the car, check the odometer reading, whether the seat protective covers and the plastic sheets on the dashboard are intact, and if there are any stains on the seats or dashboard.
I recently bought a new car, and it took about three weeks from placing the order to picking it up, mainly because I chose a popular model with limited stock. If it's an in-stock car, like those available on the dealership lot, you might get it within a week. But for custom options like special colors or configurations, you'll have to wait for the manufacturer to produce it, usually taking over a month. The financial approval also took some time, so I recommend preparing your income proof and ID in advance to avoid back-and-forth trips. On the day of pickup, I carefully inspected the exterior and interior to avoid any issues. The whole process went smoothly, but shopping around and asking multiple dealers can help shorten the wait time.
