If you've been thinking about buying a car recently, these tips might come in handy.
Check the appearance of paint surface problems are the most common
"For customers, it is necessary to check before picking up the car, mainly the details that can be seen by the naked eye." Cai Yue admitted that in the actual pick-up process, it may indeed happen that the owner himself finds some minor problems with the new car Among them, the paint surface may have the most problems, "mainly to see if the 4S shop has done some technical processing." In addition, "some car owners once discovered that the tire brand of the new car is different from that indicated in the information."

Check the appearance of paint surface problems are the most common
"For customers, it is necessary to check before picking up the car, mainly the details that can be seen by the naked eye." Cai Yue admitted that in the actual pick-up process, it may indeed happen that the owner himself finds some minor problems with the new car Among them, the paint surface may have the most problems, "mainly to see if the 4S shop has done some technical processing." In addition, "some car owners once discovered that the tire brand of the new car is different from that indicated in the information."
Cai Yue suggested that the inspection when picking up the car might as well follow the order from the outside to the inside, starting from the paint surface.
"Choose a place with better lighting, first look at the paint on the door. Because the door is often opened and closed, it is easy to bump." Cai Yue said.
Then, go around the car and carefully check whether there are obvious scratches and bump marks, whether the paint surface is rough, whether there are obvious bumps or uneven color, especially the four corners. Because in the process of moving, no one can guarantee 100% that there will be no small scratches.
Opening the engine compartment cover and checking whether the screws have been moved is also an important link that cannot be ignored. Usually, there is a complete paint seal on the screws of the various parts of the new car. If the screws have been twisted, the paint seals on the upper and lower sides will not match.
In addition, when checking the appearance, it is best to pay attention to whether the door gap is even (uneven, maybe the workmanship is not good), whether there are bump marks on the front and rear bumpers, whether the tires are obviously worn, etc.
What needs to be mentioned separately is the brake disc. "If the brakes have not been used, the brake discs will generally rust. Therefore, if the brake discs of a new car are shiny and severely worn, the owner can question the sales consultant." Li Zhong reminded.
Look at the various buttons in the interior and try them out
The inspection after entering the car is relatively simple. Check whether the surface of the seat is intact; after the ignition is started, try the audio equipment and various lights; check whether the car accessories are complete, etc.
Whether the engine is abnormal or not is not particularly easy for non-professional car owners to judge. Li Zhong taught a simple method: limit it to 2 minutes, "If after 2 minutes, the vibration is still severe, then there may be a problem with the engine of this car."
Of course, don't forget to check the mileage. Generally speaking, it is normal for the mileage to be within 20 kilometers. After all, vehicles need to move during the entire logistics transportation process.
Pay attention to the effective time of insurance
After checking the appearance and interior, if everything is OK, before driving the car home excitedly, remember to ask the sales consultant one more question: When did the car’s insurance take effect? If your car insurance has just been processed at a 4S shop, This question will be even more important.
Just at the end of September, there were lawsuits in Chongqing and Zhengzhou respectively arising from disputes over the effective time of auto insurance. The two car owners involved hit and injured people on the way home after picking up their new cars. Afterwards, the insurance companies refused to pay the compensation according to the regulations of "the compulsory traffic insurance is insured on the same day, and the policy becomes effective at zero o'clock the next day". Both car owners took the insurance company to court.
"This is a question that many customers miss when they pick up their cars." Li Zhong said, especially for novice drivers, they should pay more attention to asking when the car insurance will take effect. "In Hangzhou, some 4S stores' car insurance takes effect on the hour. For example, if you buy the insurance after 2:00 pm, it will take effect at 3:00 pm, and some will take effect in the early morning of the next day. According to the regulations of the Insurance Regulatory Commission, if necessary, when picking up the car, The car owner can actually ask the 4S store to take effect immediately and sign a written agreement."
