Master the art of car inspection with these professional tips.

Always inspect your car in broad daylight. Indoor lighting can hide paint swirls and dents.

Run your fingers along the panel gaps. They should feel consistent and smooth on both sides.

A new car should ideally have less than 100km. If its more, ask if it was driven from another yard.

Check the manufacturing month on the VIN. Ensure it's not a very old stock (6+ months).

Bring a friend with you. A second pair of eyes often catches what you might miss in the excitement of getting a new car.

Never sign the delivery papers until you are 100% satisfied. Once you drive out of the showroom, most issues become your responsibility.
