What procedures and precautions are needed when picking up a new car?

[DamianRose]

One day before picking up the car, prepare all the necessary items to bring. The essentials include the buyer's ID card, purchase contract, deposit receipt, driver's license, and in areas with license plate restrictions, the car purchase quota certificate. To complete everything in one day, arrive early. Handover takes two to three hours, with the remaining time used for license plate registration procedures. Additional notes: 1. Inspect the car body paint: First, visually examine the car's paint for scratches, spots, dents, and wear. 2. Check the vehicle identification plate: Located on the driver's side door or in the engine compartment, pay attention to whether the manufacturing date is too distant. 3. Inspect the windshield: The numbers represent the most recent production year, and the dots on the left side of the numbers indicate the production month. 4. Check the engine compartment: Open the hood and inspect whether the engine compartment is clean.
