Things to Pay Attention to When Picking Up a New Car
1 Answers
Things to pay attention to when picking up a new car are as follows: 1. Check the exterior of the car. The exterior inspection includes checking for scratches after washing the car, and whether the paint, rims, tire direction, and protective white film (plastic film on the exterior to protect the paint) are intact. 2. Check the interior of the car. The interior items to inspect include the seats, dashboard, steering wheel, window and door controls, and door seals. Additionally, check if the air conditioning buttons are responsive, if it cools quickly, and if all vents, zones, and internal/external circulation are functioning properly. Also, test the car audio system for USB playback, radio, and CD functionality, and check for any sound imperfections. 3. Other configurations. Check if the lights, horn, windshield wipers, sunroof, etc., are working properly. Inspect the engine compartment for cleanliness and the electrical system for integrity. Ensure that the radiator, oil level, battery cables, engine compartment wiring, windshield washer fluid, engine oil, and antifreeze are in good condition. Check if the trunk has a spare tire and if it is in good condition, and confirm the presence of a jack, warning triangle, and other tools. Also, test if the trunk can be locked. Inspect the undercarriage protection and any removable panels for issues, and check for oil leaks (engine, transmission, rear axle) when the car is lifted. 4. Check the date. When picking up the car, pay attention to the manufacturing date (it should be within one month). Generally, cars older than three months are considered inventory cars. If the time gap between the manufacturing date and the pickup date is too long, the car might be a display car (used in showrooms for exhibitions) or a test-drive car.
