July 2nd, 2008 02:02 AM #1Hello po. Been searching the forum but I can't find a specific thread dealing with this. If, meron po, can you please point me in that direction nalang. If wala, here goes:
I'm buying a brand new car. A Hyundai Tucson. First time buyer po. Ano-ano po ba dapat kong i-check upon picking-up my car from the dealership? Also, is it better if pa-deliver ko sa bahay or ako ang mag-pick up? In either case, I'm sure may mga dapat talagang kilatisin to see if everything is intact and/or functioning. I'm just not sure what they are. So can you please help me po for a checklist? Thanks in advance po.

the dealer has a check lists, and you will also be given a copy..you will sign it actually after the checking, just go trough with your SA pag nag check na kayo..

July 2nd, 2008 09:04 AM #3Take your time checking your car. Be through. Here is a simple checklist:
1. check for scratches and dings. You never know, those cars have been sitting in the manufacturers lot and shipped to the dealer.
2. Check power windows, mirrors, locks, seat, etc if functioning correctly. My Avanza had problems with the 3rd row locking. Fixed by the dealer before I drove it out.
3. Check fluid levels, oil, water, atf, brake fluid, etc... I know of a case in Canada where Ford did not put ATF in a brand new Expedition. Blew a perfectly good tranny and Ford had to replace it under warranty.
4. Ask SA to show you the controls if you are not familiar with them.
5. Check tools, spare tire, EWD, manual etc..
6. Most important get delivery receipt from your SA. Try to get several with diffrent dates. Cause your plates will take a long time to be released.

July 3rd, 2008 11:24 PM #4Thank you po mga sirs sa reply. I'll keep those in mind. By the way po, is it necessary to check the underside of the car? Kailangan ko ba gumapang sa ilalim ng kotse to check? What do I check for? dents? leaks?

August 10th, 2008 10:35 PM #6Just do a quick check to see if you have dents under the doors. Possible ito if yung nagdeliver nde maingat at sumabit ilalim which taking the car out of the truck.
Also check for leaks, but this is very hard to do.. anyway.. monitor mo when you get home for leaks and bring it to the dealer ASAP kung meron.

if I may add:
-himayin mo yung PDI (pre-delivery inspetion) checklist nila.
i.e. they'll walk you through it anyway, so don't go there as if you just woke up. everytime they go through an item, scritinize.
-the rest of the aesthetics - like dents, etc. as previously mentioned.
-test everything and make sure they're all operational, like speedos/odos, lights, etc.

August 24th, 2008 04:22 PM #8Mga sir, how about other stuff that I need to talk dun sa agent habang nandun kami sa casa aside sa mga dapat i check sa quality ng car? Warranties, what type of gas to use, checkups? Picking up our first car next week, and first talaga to, my parents never had one before and I just finished my driving school last week so wala talaga ako alam. Any advice will be great. Thanks!

For service-related/technical stuff, I would suggest you talk to their SA (service advisor) instead of the sales agents. I would suggest you build up a relationship with your SA too as you will be dealing with him/her frequently in your next 3 years/100T kms or whichever comes first.
Oh, and you'd want to be there early too so you can go through all your questions/checklists without the rush...

I think they took over Sept 2023... I remember their event presented the 296 GTB and the Purosangue...
