How long does it usually take to pick up a new car after purchase?

How long it takes to pick up a new car depends on the model and configuration of the purchased vehicle. The relevant details are as follows: Generally, the car can be picked up within one month: For some popular models or customized imported cars, the pickup time may take up to six months; usually, the purchase contract will specify a clear pickup date, and the car should be picked up according to the agreed date. If the car cannot be picked up beyond this deadline, you can request the 4S store to compensate for the breach of contract. Things to note when picking up the car: Purchase invoice, vehicle certification, three-guarantee service card, vehicle user manual, other documents or accessories, and checking the nameplate.
When I accompanied my friend to a 4S store to buy a car, the salesperson mentioned that the delivery time mainly depends on whether the car is in stock. If the store happens to have the car in inventory, you can drive it away on the same day after completing the payment and procedures. If you choose a less popular color or a high-end model, you might have to wait for the manufacturer to schedule production and arrange logistics, which could take two to three weeks at the fastest. In special cases like chip shortages, the wait could extend to one or two months. I think it's best to confirm the timeline with the salesperson in advance to avoid any delays. Also, remember to check the vehicle's manufacturing date to ensure you're not buying an overstocked car. Actually, you can now check real-time inventory online, which makes the process more efficient if you check before visiting the store. There are significant differences between brands; for example, it's not uncommon to wait half a year for popular new energy vehicles. The key is to get everything in writing in the contract with the 4S store, including compensation for delays.
