How to Tell if the Car You're Picking Up is New?
1 Answers
Introduction to determining whether the car is new when picking it up: 1. Check the manufacturing date. If the manufacturing date is close to the pickup date, it is a new car. Conversely, if the manufacturing date is far from the pickup date, it may be an old car or a problematic car. 2. Verify whether the engine model, engine number, and chassis number match the manual. Check the vehicle's certificate of conformity and other relevant documents, and inspect the car body paint for any damage. Ensure the paint color matches the manual. 3. Open the hood and check if the engine has severe oil stains and whether all parts are clean. 4. Start the car, lightly press the accelerator, and listen for any abnormal noises or unusual vibrations. Check if the dashboard tachometer is functioning normally and if the odometer displays normal data (a new car's odometer should not exceed 30 kilometers). 5. Turn on the audio system, wipers, air conditioning, and other electronic devices to ensure they operate normally. 6. Test all switches multiple times to check for any abnormal sounds. Inspect the tire pressure, ensure the tires are brand new, and look for any scratches.
