When taking delivery of a new car, you should check the following items: 1. Check the production date: Verify whether there is a significant gap between the production date and the delivery date. A smaller gap may indicate less movement of the vehicle. While it's impossible to completely avoid the movement from production to sales, a shorter time between production and delivery reduces the likelihood of the dealership tampering with the mileage. 2. Check the tires for completeness: Tires are a relatively straightforward aspect to inspect. If a new car has been used excessively, the tires will show significant wear. The tire hairs (molding marks) won't be as intact as on a brand-new car, and in severe cases, they may be completely worn away, with visible damage marks on the tire surface. 3. Check the interior packaging for integrity: To protect against dust or damage after leaving the factory, the interior is usually wrapped in plastic film. If the new car has been used extensively by the dealership, this plastic film may be damaged.

What to Do If You Lock Your Car Remote in the Car?

There are several general solutions when you accidentally lock your car remote inside the car: 1. If the key is visible inside the car, bend a small hook on a wire and insert it through the passenger side window to hook and pull out the keychain. 2. Contact a professional locksmith, as both the driver's side and trunk usually have mechanical key access points. 3. Contact your car dealership, as different vehicle models may have specific computer-based unlocking methods. 4. Break a window as a last resort in emergencies. 5. Use the spare key - vehicles typically come with at least two original keys (one primary and one spare). 6. Choose a licensed locksmith company (proper documentation may be required). 7.
