Should You Pay First or Inspect the Car First When Picking Up a Vehicle at a 4S Store?

[MiguelDella]

At a car 4S store, you should pay first and then inspect the vehicle. Points to note during the inspection: 1. Choose a place with good outdoor lighting to check if there are any damages, dents, color differences, paint peeling, or missing accessories on the vehicle's surface; 2. Verify whether the vehicle's production date is more than 3 months old. The location of the nameplate is usually on the door frame of the front passenger seat; 3. Check if the VIN is correct and whether the date information on it matches that on the nameplate; 4. Open the trunk to inspect if the accompanying tools, such as the warning triangle, jack, and spare tire accessories, are complete; 5. Open the engine hood to check if the engine compartment is clean and pay attention to any signs of oil leakage.
