Generally, it is necessary to conduct test drives and pre-delivery inspections. Below are the relevant considerations when buying a car: 1. Determine the budget First, determine your budget range and reasonably estimate your financial capacity. Avoid blindly choosing high-priced cars that exceed your financial means. The cost of the car, plus insurance and routine maintenance, can be a significant expense. Act within your means and don't let the car become a burden. If you are not in a hurry to buy a car, it is best to choose a time when car prices are lower and market prices are more stable, typically during the off-season from March to August. 2. Pre-delivery inspection: When taking delivery of the car, pay attention to the body gaps and paintwork. Check the gaps in the doors and the front and rear bumper gaps. Open the doors to observe if there is any color difference between the interior and exterior paint. Inside the car, check the odometer reading, whether the seat protective wrapping and the plastic sheets on the dashboard are intact, and if there are any stains on the seats or dashboard. Also, note whether there is a significant gap between the manufacturing date and the delivery date. If the gap is too long, the car might be a display model or a refurbished vehicle (test drive car). Start the car to feel its operating condition, such as whether there are any unusual noises or if any warning lights are on.
