Taking photos at the 4S store can serve as a promotional tool. Below are specific precautions for vehicle inspection when picking up the car: 1. Inspect the body: Visually examine the car's paint for scratches and wear. Check for color discrepancies under ample sunlight by opening the doors and adjusting angles to allow light to shine from different perspectives, ensuring the sheet metal is even. 2. Check the doors: Open the doors to ensure they operate smoothly and that the gaps between the doors and the front/rear bumpers are consistent. 3. Inspect the engine: Open the hood to check if the engine compartment is clean. If the car has been stored for a long time or used, some areas may show noticeable dust or stains. 4. Check the glass: Verify if the windshield is original.

I remember being extremely excited on the day I picked up my car. Taking photos was meaningful to me as it captured an important milestone in my life, as precious as wedding photos. As a young person who just bought my first car, posing beside it with the salesperson felt absolutely amazing. I immediately posted this photo on social media, where friends and family liked and commented, sharing in my joy. It also serves as proof of the car's pristine condition at delivery, which could help avoid disputes in case of future scratches or damage. Moreover, the photo-taking process made the entire car-buying experience more heartwarming—the dealership treated it as part of their service, boosting my satisfaction. Ultimately, this isn’t just a photo; it’s a memory treasure that carries the realization of a dream.

I think taking delivery photos is quite practical. As someone who has bought cars multiple times, it's not just a ceremony but also a great way to protect yourself. When you sign and take delivery at the dealership, taking a photo with the car confirms the vehicle's exterior is in good condition, preventing future disputes about pre-existing issues. Looking back on my last car purchase, that photo saved me a lot of hassle during inspection. Also, taking photos with the staff makes the process more personal. My child was thrilled when seeing the photos, calling it our family's new member. Dealerships use this to boost reputation—satisfied customers naturally recommend them to others. In short, while photos may seem small, they serve big purposes in both memorability and practicality.

Taking delivery photos is a standard procedure at many 4S stores, primarily serving brand promotion and service enhancement. When customers take delivery and share group photos on social media, they inadvertently advertise for the dealership. As an observer, I've seen it create a more harmonious delivery atmosphere and reduce customer anxiety. The photos document the vehicle's condition, which can also be useful for maintenance or used car transactions. 4S stores use this as a marketing tool to attract new customers. It's simple yet effective, adding value to the car-buying experience.

How Big Is the Gap Between Domestic and Joint Venture Cars?

Domestic cars are not inferior to joint venture cars in terms of configuration and visual experience, but joint venture cars are more fuel-efficient than domestic cars.
