How long does it usually take for a vehicle in transit to arrive at the 4S dealership?
1 Answers
4S dealerships typically state that vehicles in transit require approximately one week of waiting. Below are the key considerations when picking up a vehicle from a 4S dealership: Inspect the vehicle condition: Park the vehicle in an outdoor area with ample lighting to examine the body paintwork. Ensure there are no scratches or abrasions on the paint, verify the paint is evenly applied, and check if it appears translucent under sunlight reflection. Open the car doors; the vehicle identification plate is located near the driver's side door or B-pillar—review the relevant information on the plate. Pop open the engine compartment to inspect for cleanliness, ensuring there is no dirt or accumulated dust, and check that the engine oil and other fluids are at adequate levels. Manually test the smooth operation of door opening/closing, normal window rolling, absence of strong odors inside the cabin, functional air conditioning, proper wiper operation, and correct lighting functionality. Test drive: Start the engine to assess whether the idle is smooth, if there are noticeable noises inside the cabin, and whether the steering wheel exhibits significant vibration. Verify documentation: Ensure all relevant vehicle documents are complete, including the purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, vehicle type approval certificate, vehicle registration certificate, warranty certificate, owner's manual, and new vehicle delivery checklist.
