When we get a new car, the first thing we need to check is the car's production date, which is the car's nameplate. Each car has its own unique nameplate, which is like our ID card and records the production date and other information of the car. Generally, the nameplate of most models is beside the passenger door, and we can see it as long as we open the door.
If the production date on the car's nameplate is within six months, that's normal. If it is more than six months or even a year old, it means the car is a stock car. Unless the price is very cheap, just offer to exchange the car.
When you pick up your car, be sure to check the mileage on the dashboard. It is normal for a new car to have a mileage within 100 kilometers. After all, new cars need to be tested before leaving the factory, and sometimes 4S stores in the same city will drive directly there when deploying vehicles, and there will be a little mileage on the dashboard.
But if the mileage on the dashboard exceeds 100 kilometers, or even approaches 1,000 kilometers, it is abnormal. At this time, you can directly ask the store clerk to exchange for a new car, or refund the money.
Generally, a new car will go through a bumpy journey when it leaves the factory, and bumps and bumps on the road are commonplace. However, in order to save trouble, some car dealers will secretly repair and cover it up themselves. Therefore, when picking up a car, everyone must carefully check the appearance of the car, especially the paint.
When we inspect the car paint, it is best to be in a well-lit place so that we can better detect paint problems. We should carefully check whether there is any obvious color difference in the color of the car paint, whether there are scratches, paint peeling or cracking on the surface of the car paint, and we should touch it with our hands to see if there are any traces of repairs.
Finally, when we pick up the car, we should carefully check the important parts of the car, such as car tires. Generally, new car tires should be very new, and the "feather" on the tire surface should be clear and intact. If the car's tires look a little worn and the "lago" is almost invisible, it means the car has been driven for a long time.
In addition to the tires, we also need to check the three major parts of the car chassis, gearbox and engine. We need to check whether the car chassis is leaking oil, whether the transmission is smooth when shifting into gear, and whether there is any grunting sound from the engine after the car is started.
When we pick up the car, in addition to carefully checking the appearance of the car, we also need to carefully check the interior of the car.
Not only should you check whether the car interior is brand new, free of damage or odor, but you should also check whether the internal functions are normal, such as window switches, speakers, etc.
