Why Should Someone Else Drive a New Car Home?

[AvaLee]

Generally, it's for safety reasons as the owner may not be familiar with the new car, so having someone else drive it home is safer. Below are specific precautions for picking up a new car: 1. Inspect the body: Visually check the paint for scratches or wear. Examine the paint under ample sunlight for color discrepancies. Open the doors and adjust them to various angles to check if the sheet metal is even under different lighting conditions. 2. Check the doors: Open the doors to ensure they operate smoothly and that the gaps between the doors and the front/rear bumpers are consistent. 3. Inspect the engine: Open the engine hood to check for cleanliness. If the car has been stored for a long time or used, some areas may show obvious dust or stains. 4. Check the glass: Verify if the windshield is original. 5. Check the vehicle's nameplate: The car's nameplate is located on the driver's side door or inside the engine compartment. Pay attention to the manufacturing date to see if it's too old. If it's over six months, the car might be stock or a test drive vehicle.
