Is It Suitable to Pick Up a Car on a Rainy Day?

You can pick up a car in the rain. Here are the relevant details for picking up a car: 1. Vehicle Certificate of Conformity. This is a very important document and is necessary for vehicle registration. A car cannot be registered without this certificate. 2. Vehicle Registration Certificate. This proves the ownership of the vehicle and records the vehicle's information. If the registration certificate is lost, it should be replaced at the vehicle management office as soon as possible. 3. First Maintenance Voucher. Verbal promises are not enough; you need a voucher. Otherwise, it can easily cause trouble when going for maintenance later, as no one remembers whether it's the first time for maintenance. 4. Exterior: Check if there are any color differences, touch-up paint marks, or scratches on the vehicle's exterior. Ensure that the doors, windows, and sunroof open, close, and lift smoothly. Verify that all lights, audio systems, and electronic devices are functioning properly. Inspect and feel the brake discs for any significant wear marks, and check if the tires and spare tire are in good condition.
Honestly, picking up a car on a rainy day is really not ideal. Last week, I just accompanied a friend to pick up his car, and the rain made the car body all wet, making the inspection particularly troublesome. It was hard to see if there were any scratches on the paint, if there was any fog under the lamp covers, and even checking the chassis was a hassle. What's worse, the sales contract and pickup documents getting wet by the rain was really frustrating. The most concerning part was that new car tires need a break-in period, and the slippery roads in the rain make it easy to skid—I was really nervous for him driving home after picking up the car. If you absolutely have to pick up a car on a rainy day, remember to bring a strong flashlight to carefully inspect the car body and keep some dry towels in the car to wipe off water stains.
