It is acceptable to take delivery of a car without the certificate of conformity. Below are the precautions to take when picking up the car: 1. Check all the vehicle documents: including the purchase invoice, certificate of conformity, vehicle conformity certificate, vehicle registration certificate, warranty certificate, vehicle user manual, and new car delivery confirmation form. If the 4S shop is responsible for licensing and handling insurance, then you also need to obtain the original insurance policy, insurance invoice, compulsory insurance invoice, vehicle and vessel tax invoice, purchase tax invoice, tax payment certificate, and compulsory insurance label from the salesperson. 2. Inspect the vehicle: Exterior checks should include the paint, production date of the window glass, tires, trunk, and engine. Interior checks should focus on car functions, such as lights, windows, rearview mirrors, dashboard, air conditioning, etc.
From the perspective of an experienced car owner, I really don't recommend taking delivery of a vehicle without its certificate of conformity. The car's certificate of conformity is a crucial document for license plate registration. Without it, the vehicle is like a headless fly stuck halfway. Many car enthusiasts have encountered similar situations where dealers might have the certificate mortgaged at a bank for financing. You only realize you can't register the car after taking delivery, ending up in a battle of wits with the dealer, or even having to file a lawsuit for compensation. I almost fell for it once, but luckily I asked one more question and checked the document list, avoiding trouble. Before taking delivery, always insist on complete documentation from the dealer. It's better to delay a few days than to spend money and effort resolving issues later. Remember, this concerns your time and financial security—don't take such a big risk just to drive the car a few days earlier.
