How Long Does It Take to Pick Up a Highlander After Ordering?
2 Answers
The time from purchasing a Highlander to picking it up varies by location, depending on whether the dealership has the vehicle in stock and the factory's production schedule. According to surveys, it typically takes around 2-3 months on average. Buyers can inquire with their local 4S store before purchasing. Required vehicle documents: Purchase invoice, vehicle certification, vehicle conformity certificate, motor vehicle registration certificate, warranty certificate, vehicle manual, and new vehicle delivery confirmation form. If the 4S store handles license plate registration and insurance, you will also need to obtain 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 traffic insurance label. Vehicle inspection: For the exterior, check the paint, production date of the window glass, tires, trunk, and engine. For the interior, focus on checking vehicle functions such as lights, wipers, windows, rearview mirrors, dashboard, air conditioning, audio system, etc.
Last year I helped a friend oversee the pickup of a Highlander, and the actual waiting time really depends on the configuration and color you choose. Currently, the hybrid version generally takes longer to wait for than the fuel version, and popular colors like Pearl White often require a wait of two to three months. If you order the top Platinum edition or opt for a less popular color, you might be lucky enough to get the car within a month. When placing the order, remember to push the salesperson to put the delivery date in writing—I know someone who suffered in silence due to this. Also, it's advisable to avoid peak car-buying seasons like before the Spring Festival; you might actually get the car faster during year-end when dealers are pushing for sales targets. Recently, with the recovery of chip supply, the pickup speed has indeed improved, and 4S shops often get immediate delivery quotas.
