Collecting a new car? Check this before you sign
Look at the paint in good light, check door edges, take photos.
New paint can carry marks from transport or showroom washing — checking first helps.
Good light
Ask to see the car outdoors or under bright light, looking along the panels.
Take photos
Photograph every side with the date — useful if you need to raise it with the dealer.
