Here are the steps for purchasing a new car: 1. Start with selecting the model and reviewing configurations, then proceed to viewing the car and taking a test drive. 2. Negotiate the price and pay a deposit. 3. After receiving the car, inspect it, then purchase insurance, obtain a temporary license plate, and pay taxes. 4. Finally, officially register the car and select a license plate number. Here are some precautions when buying a car: 1. After receiving the car, first inspect its exterior. 2. Before ignition, carefully check the gear position: pause at the ACC position for a few seconds after turning the key to the ignition position to allow the fuel pump to supply gasoline to the engine, and avoid revving the engine immediately after ignition. 3. Check the doors: open each door one by one to observe if there is any sagging, slowly open the door until it cannot be pushed further, and feel whether the limit switch is functioning properly and if there are any abnormal noises.
When I bought my new car last year, the whole process was quite clear. First, I determined my budget and needs, spent two weekends comparing car models' specifications online, and then visited several 4S stores to see the cars in person. Test driving was particularly important; I specifically chose different road conditions to experience the chassis and power. During price negotiations, the salesperson offered three packages, and I finally chose the interest-free loan option. Before signing the contract, I went through the additional clauses one by one and made sure all the freebies were written into the contract. After completing the loan procedures, the salesperson helped with the purchase tax and temporary license plate. On the day of picking up the car, I brought a friend to carefully check the tires and paint. The whole process took two weeks, and I recommend preparing your ID card and bank card in advance.
