And now the long-awaited moment of buying a new car. This event should in no way be overshadowed by all sorts of little things that can still happen even with new cars. It is worth paying attention to some of the nuances before putting your signature and documenting your consent to the purchase.
Verification of the complete set
First of all, you need to make sure that the car for which you need to pay a considerable amount is exactly the one that was ordered by the manager. Namely: to compare the ordered configuration and the one that is in fact. Next, you need to go to the documentary part. It is imperative to check the numbers of the units and the body. Future owners do not always pay attention to this, relying on the salon managers. However, you do not need to exclude the human factor and spend literally a minute to reconcile the numbers, thereby insuring yourself against troubles for the future when registering a car with the traffic police.
Inspection process
Heated seats, blown glass, turns, alarm, air conditioning, in general, all electrical equipment must perform their direct duties flawlessly. You should also pay attention to how many indicators are on on the dashboard and which ones, and whether any errors of the on-board computer light up.
Then you can move on to the mechanics of the future car. It is worth making sure that all locks are in good working order and work as befits a new mechanism. It is worth paying attention to the locks of the luggage compartment and the engine compartment so that everything works there without any comments. Also, at the time of inspecting the luggage compartment, you need to check the completeness, that is, the presence of a spare wheel, a cylinder key and a jack. When inspecting the engine compartment, it is necessary to check all expansion tanks, namely, the presence of the necessary fluids in them. Because very often the manufacturer fills the systems with the necessary fluids in order for the system to show its functioning, and in the near future it is worth adding working fluids to the required level. Another of the most important points that should be emphasized is the car paintwork. To see the presence of defects on a car, you need to look from the side and from different angles. The difference in light will immediately indicate scratches, chips or dents, if any.
Once outside your car, you can ask the manager to get behind the wheel and ask him to alternately turn on headlights, turns, brake lights, reversing lights, etc. After all these manipulations, you need to listen to the engine with the hood open, so that the third-party noises in the engine, if any, will be heard more clearly.
Immediately before driving, check the condition of the wheels, in particular the tire pressure. Also, it will not be superfluous to find out how the wheel caps are unfastened correctly, so that in the future they do not inadvertently break their fastening when the wheel is replaced with a spare tire.
It can be noted that experts recommend that all their requirements and those points that you want to check be recorded on paper. After all, the list of what can be checked is very large and it is impossible to remember everything. And you need to sign documents on the transfer of the car from the seller to the buyer only after 100% certainty that there are no mutual claims. Then the transaction will be considered legal.
And the most important thing: the salons fill the car with literally 5-7 liters of fuel, so after leaving the walls of the cabin, you should immediately go to the gas station. Happy choice to all.
