What's the Difference Between Showroom Cars and New Cars at 4S Stores?
1 Answers
There is not much difference in appearance between showroom cars and new cars. However, for display purposes, the protective packaging on the car body is usually removed, and waxing may be applied to certain parts of the vehicle. There are three key points to note when inspecting a new car: 1. Check the paint surface: Pay special attention to the uniformity and smoothness of the seams. It's best to compare with another car of the same model. The gaps between doors, bumpers, and the engine hood should be consistent. If the gaps are too large or differ in width from other cars, choose carefully; 2. Check the tires: The tires of a new car should have no damage on the sidewalls. The front tires should have no puncture marks on the tread or sidewalls. Ideally, the tire hairs should still be present on both front and rear tires, with at least the rear tire hairs visible. If there are no tire hair marks on either front or rear tires but the odometer shows only a few kilometers, this is abnormal; 3. Check the nameplate: Each car's nameplate corresponds to a unique engine number and chassis number. Verify these numbers against the certification codes to ensure they match. Also, check the manufacturing date on the nameplate. The gap between the delivery date and the manufacturing date should not exceed three months.
