Check whether there are scratches, cracks, water stains, rust, or traces of repainting on the car's exterior paint, whether the door gaps are uniform, whether the engine is manufactured properly, whether the vehicle chassis and battery are complete, and whether all the necessary documents for the new car are in order. Inspect the exterior in a well-lit area. Examine carefully and patiently for any scratches on the paint surface. Pay special attention to the four corners of the car, as they are prone to scratches. Also, check if the bumper strips are smoothly installed, if the fenders are securely fixed, and if the seam sizes are reasonable. Check the levels of various oils, engine oil, antifreeze, and brake fluid when the car is cool to ensure they meet the standard values. Verify the remaining quantities for safety. The battery connectors and windshield washer fluid are also important. This is also a visual inspection. Electrical system: Test each window one by one for smooth operation, listening for any unusual sounds, and check functions like one-touch up/down. If there is an anti-pinch feature, test it with an object. Inspect the sunroof thoroughly. Besides the windows, also check the operation of the windshield wipers. Spray some windshield washer fluid first to see if the wipers function normally, if the speed changes in different settings, and if they operate smoothly. Don’t overlook details like the electric rearview mirrors.

Don't be careless when paying in full for a car. I think the most important thing is to do thorough homework. Before going, bring your personal documents and budgeted cash, carefully inspect the car's exterior and interior for any flaws, such as scratches or seat damage. Start the engine to listen for any unusual sounds, take a short test drive to check if the brakes and steering are smooth. Don't slack off on the paperwork—verify one by one whether the invoice amount matches the full payment, whether you've received the original vehicle qualification certificate, and ensure the insurance policy takes effect immediately. Don't be fooled by the salesperson; ask clearly if there are any additional fees like service charges or installation fees, and get them written in the contract for peace of mind. On the day of pickup, remember to take both keys and the manual, and fill up the tank before heading home to test if everything is working properly. Be extra cautious with used cars—confirm that the transfer procedures are completed to avoid future hassles. This can save you a lot of worry and ensure the car is safe to drive.

On the day of picking up the car, my budget was tight, so I paid extra attention to financial matters. Bring your bank card or cash, first confirm that the full payment has been settled and the invoice matches, ask if there are any hidden fees like taxes or license plate fees, and don’t let them overcharge you a single cent. The first thing to do upon entering the dealership is to inspect the car’s exterior for any dents or scratches, take a short test drive to feel the handling, and listen for any abnormal engine noises. Regarding paperwork, verify that the vehicle certification and insurance policy are complete, and read through the contract line by line before signing on the spot. For peace of mind, I bought the car insurance right there to take effect immediately. Before leaving, take all the documents including the warranty card to prevent future disputes over warranty claims. This process requires steady and careful steps—don’t be fooled by sales pitches, and keep everything centered on money and the car.

I've experienced paying in full for a car purchase, where safety and efficiency are key. Before taking delivery, ensure the insurance coverage is effective. Inspection details before driving off: start the engine to check if the dashboard functions normally, test the lights and wipers to avoid nighttime issues. Only accept original documents like the certificate of conformity and invoice, and verify the VIN to prevent switching. After full payment, register the license plate immediately without delay, and for used cars, the transfer is a must. The whole process should be quick and steady for peace of mind.
