Dealer gonna provide you with a checklist you'll need to tick. Do your inspection outdoor. Not inside the warehouse with insufficient lighting.

when test drive, try to push to the limits, since you're gonna use the car for a long time, especially for reckons.
also, try not to rushing too much when getting a car. also, thats a good checklist by ericmaxman. |

Minor one can fix no need lar...i am sure there'll be all sorts of small small issues...i took 1 hour+ to check my Inspira 2 months ago....found some colors or smudges on the car....SA just took out a quick detailer and rub off everything. No big deal. If got deep scratch then maybe you can request for another, or something seriously broken.Can we reject the car and ask for another ? |
