What are the procedures for picking up a car?
2 Answers
The procedures for picking up a car include: 1. Documents: The car owner needs to prepare all the necessary documents for picking up the car, including ID card, bank card, local residence permit or temporary residence permit (some places may not require this, it's advisable to inquire in advance), etc. 2. Temporary license: Upon arrival at the 4S store, the first step is to obtain a temporary license plate before hitting the road, which can be handled by the staff. 3. Car inspection: This includes an external inspection of the car, an internal inspection, and an inspection of the engine and transmission after starting the car. If any serious issues or doubts are found during the inspection, they should be communicated to the staff promptly.
I just picked up my new car last week, and the whole process went quite smoothly! The day before pickup, I called the dealership salesperson in advance to confirm the time and ensure I had my ID, purchase invoice, and payment receipts ready. Upon arrival, the first step was to settle the final payment or confirm the loan was in place. The salesperson then took me to the parking lot to inspect the car—I carefully checked the paintwork, tires, and lighting system to avoid any scratches or factory defects. Next, I signed the delivery receipt and warranty agreement documents, and quickly arranged temporary insurance and a temporary license plate to legally drive it home. Don’t forget to test the car’s functions, especially common trouble spots like the AC controls. The entire process took about two hours, and scheduling ahead saved me from long queues. After pickup, I’d recommend beginners bring a friend to help inspect the car and familiarize themselves with the driving features—start safely and avoid speeding. Oh, and if buying an EV, double-check that charging accessories are complete to avoid missing anything at home.
