So, you finally got it! The new car can be picked up from the passenger compartment. However, before you buy a car, new or not, you need to check its compliance with some of the points listed below. This is done so that the car really pleases its owner, and does not give him unnecessary problems.
Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, check the data from the technical device passport with real data, carefully studying each letter. Among the checked parameters are VIN number, engine number and body number (must be identical to VIN).
Step 2
Check the paintwork to make sure it is even and uniform. For the best effect, check in daylight and after a car wash and tumble dryer. Otherwise, you may not notice traces of touch-up or body repair.
Step 3
Check that there are no chips or scratches on the sills, the back of the mirrors and on the edges of the hood, doors and trunk. Inspect the body from different sides for dents. Do this with a short distance from the car.
Step 4
Check the hood, trunk and doors: they should not protrude or protrude beyond the body, and the slots (openings) should have the same width over the entire area. Trunk lids and bonnet must not be chamfered.
Check all the doors one at a time to make sure they open and close freely, and you applied the same amount of effort to it.
Step 5
Make sure all glass is intact, including the edges. And also in the freedom of opening and tightness of the hood and trunk. Open the trunk, raise the cargo compartment floor and check for the jack, spare wheel, wrench, screwdriver. Check the operation of the main lock, as well as the possibility of opening and closing the front doors with a key, whether the power windows are working properly, both from the driver's door and from each separately. Make sure that all windows run smoothly and that the driver's door window lock is working properly.
Step 6
Check the free longitudinal movement of the front seats and the tilt of the backs with the movement of the head restraints. Without opening the hood, start the engine. Check the correctness of the indication of the positions of the gearshift lever. Make sure there are no fault indicators. While the engine is warming up, turn on and check the operation of the radio. Check until you are absolutely sure that your vehicle is ready for use.
