Things that need to be checked when picking up a new car include: interior, exterior body, and chassis. Here are the details: 1. Interior: Mainly check for obvious stains, scratches on leather surfaces, and test all operable and functional features in the car to ensure they work properly. 2. Exterior body: Check whether the car paint is even and consistent, as many cars may suffer minor damages during transportation. If the paint is damaged, the 4S store will repair it themselves before selling it to consumers. 3. Chassis: Check for any signs of being hit by stones. Every 4S store has test drive cars, and these cars are often operated under overload conditions to demonstrate powerful performance to consumers, such as hard acceleration and sudden braking.
