What should be checked when picking up a new car?

[VanVincent]

When picking up a new car, the following items should be checked: 1. Check the production date: Verify whether there is a significant gap between the production date and the pickup date. A smaller gap means the car might have been moved less. While it's impossible to avoid the movement from production to sales, a small gap between the production and pickup dates reduces the likelihood of the dealer tampering with the mileage. 2. Check the tires for completeness: Tires are a relatively straightforward way to inspect the car. If a new car has been used excessively, the tires will show severe wear. The tire hairs won't be as intact as on a new car, and in severe cases, they might be completely worn away. There may also be signs of damage on the tire surface. 3. Check if the interior packaging is intact: To prevent dust or damage after leaving the factory, the interior is usually wrapped in plastic film. If the new car has been used excessively by the dealership, the plastic film might be damaged.
