How many days after a new car arrives at the 4S store can it be picked up?

The pickup time depends on the specific situation. Generally, after the new car arrives at the store, it can be picked up within a week. During this period, the 4S store will conduct relevant inspections, cleaning, and handle the necessary documents for the vehicle. If there are special circumstances, the time may be extended. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Immediate pickup is not possible: After ordering or purchasing a vehicle, it is generally not possible to pick it up immediately. If the manufacturer has a shortage of vehicles, even if the new car arrives at the store, it may not be possible to pick it up immediately because the new car might have been pre-ordered by someone else. 2. Handling relevant documents: After the new car you ordered or purchased arrives at the store, the 4S store also needs time to inspect the vehicle's quality, clean it, and handle the necessary documents for road use, such as temporary license plates.
When I first bought my new car, it usually took just a day or two to drive it home after it arrived at the 4S dealership, but it depends on the specific process. The dealer first needs to conduct a pre-delivery inspection, checking core components like the engine and brakes for any issues, and then clean the interior and apply exterior wax to make the car shine. I paid in full when I bought my car, so they quickly processed the invoice and temporary license plate, and it was ready in two days. However, if the car is a custom version or the dealership is busy during peak seasons, it might take more than three days. I recommend asking the salesperson in advance to avoid unnecessary waiting. Before taking delivery, it's best to check the tire wear and paint for scratches yourself to avoid discovering defects after leaving. Remember, early communication can save a lot of time—don’t be like me during my first purchase, waiting around foolishly.
