When will the vehicle qualification certificate be issued when buying a car?
2 Answers
The vehicle qualification certificate will be obtained on the day of delivery. The following points should be noted when buying a car: Pay attention to the contract: When signing the car purchase contract and other contract materials, pay attention to every detail of the contract, especially the difference between "deposit" and "down payment". A single word difference may result in the inability to refund the car purchase fee. Note that the down payment must be refunded, while the deposit may not be refundable. Obtain all vehicle documents: Such as the car purchase invoice, qualification certificate, vehicle conformity certificate, motor vehicle registration certificate, three-guarantee certificate, vehicle user manual, etc. These must be checked for completeness before payment when picking up the new car. If any document is missing, it should be requested from the 4S store promptly.
I've been through the car-buying process several times, and the vehicle certificate is usually handed to me right at the delivery moment—when driving the car away. The salesperson would pass over a paper document folder containing the vehicle certificate and the user manual. If you don't receive it immediately, it's possible the 4S store has pledged the certificate to the bank for financing purposes—a situation I've seen quite often. My friend had to wait a week to get his when he last bought a car. I strongly advise everyone to confirm this before taking delivery—ask the salesperson directly and insist on receiving it on the spot. Otherwise, it could delay your license plate registration. The vehicle certificate is essential for registering your car at the DMV; without it, you can't legally drive your new car, and a temporary plate won't last long. If the dealership drags its feet, don't panic—push them or request a written guarantee to avoid affecting your driving plans and peace of mind. Remember to carefully check all documents upon delivery to prevent future hassles. Paying for and receiving your car should be a happy moment—don't let this small issue spoil the joy. Get the certificate early, register early, and drive with peace of mind.
