Is the vehicle inspection and pickup not on the same day?
2 Answers
Vehicle inspection and pickup are typically done on the same day. When picking up the car, pay attention to checking the vehicle's exterior, interior, tires, glass, lighting, engine, and mileage. Below are the relevant details: Pickup considerations: Exterior: When picking up a new car, inspect the vehicle's appearance under sufficient lighting to check for color differences in the paint and any scratches. Interior: Examine the car seats for wrinkles, check for unusual odors inside the car, and look for dirt in the corners. Tires: Inspect the car tires for tread hairs, check if the tread shows normal wear, and ensure the tire pressure is adequate. Glass: Verify the production dates of the car glass; while the dates may vary, they should not exceed one year. Lighting: Test the car's headlights, taillights, turn signals, brake lights, etc., to ensure they function properly. Engine: Start the car and check for any abnormal vibrations or unusual noises from the engine.
As someone who frequently buys cars, I rarely experience the inspection and pickup on the same day. In the car purchasing process, the inspection is usually scheduled one or two days before pickup because the dealer needs time to prepare the vehicle, wash it, install accessories, or handle temporary license plates. During pickup, a quick check is performed just in case to ensure there are no scratches or malfunctions. Like the last time I bought a car, the inspection took half a day to thoroughly test the engine and tires, and I officially picked it up two days later, which gave me more peace of mind. I recommend that beginners schedule the inspection in advance and avoid rushing to do it on the same day to prevent issues due to haste. Communicate more with the salesperson and arrange flexibly to avoid affecting work or family plans—after all, a car is a significant investment.
