1. Never accept the delivery in the late evening. Call the dealership
ahead of time and let them know that you plan to perform a very
detailed delivery check during daylight hours. Getting through your checklist may take couple of hours or more so see that you get an earliest possible appointment (0930 hrs or even earlier if possible) so that you will be having sufficient time to inspect the car, put accessories/modifications and fix any defects found, complete the paper work, all under a bright daylight.
Also insist that no Invoice to be made in your name till you complete the pre-delivery inspection.
2. Some people believe that taking delivery of 'Metal' goods on Saturday is inauspicious, while some insist on a `Muhuraat', plan and prepare accordingly if you are one of them.
3. Call couple of days in advance to confirm the delivery date and time to avoid any disappointment in case dealer is unable to deliver the car for what so ever reasons on that appointed day.
4. In the mean time, keep your paperwork ready. Check with the dealer well in advance about documents required to complete Car Registration, Insurance, Car finance formalities etc.
5. If any financial transactions are to be completed on that D- Day, carry all PDC, cash, DD etc.
6. Check and verify that your car insurance starts the minute you take delivery.
7. It is prudent to have somebody, a third person, not emotionally attached to your car buying process, accompany you during the whole process. And if you can manage to have an experienced Auto mechanic or an eagle-eyed friend or relative along with you nothing like that; four eyes are better than two. This also helps in case dealership tries to pressurize you on any account.
8. Don't forget to take your camera / camcorder with you (of course with fresh batteries, film/cassette/memory card), not only for capturing the moment of joy but in case you find any cosmetic defect in the car, a picture will serve as a proof.
9. Carry a pre recorded Audio cassette / CD to test the Music System in the car (if fitted).
Also insist that no Invoice to be made in your name till you complete the pre-delivery inspection.
