Before you drive off in that new car of yours, there are just a few papers that need to be signed. Example: The power of attorney that allows the dealership to go to the RTO and register the vehicle for you, the transfer of title if you're trading in a vehicle, are just some of them. Read each document carefully for errors. Once you sign on the dotted line, the deal is clinched. If something doesn't feel right, don't sign. And do not feel pressured or obligated to sign just because of the amount of time invested by the salesperson.

Most dealerships detail the car and provide enough fuel to drive you home. You will have one more chance to inspect the car before you take possession of it. Make sure you walk around the car and look for scratches in the paint and wheels or dents and dings on the body. If you are paying for floor mats make sure they are included. If anything is missing, or if any work needs to be done, ask for a "Due Bill" that puts it in writing. You will then be able to come back and get the work done later.

As you drive away inhaling that new-car smell, there is only one more thing to be done: enjoy your new car.
