What to Check When Taking Delivery of a New Car?
1 Answers
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.
