Resolve candidate identity first
Use a stable reference with relevant original records and the actual configuration. The identity and equipment review prevents media from several similar units becoming one attractive proposal. Quotation and findings should refer to the same vehicle.
If the selected car changes, obtain replacement evidence rather than inheriting earlier acceptance. Generic manufacturer imagery explains a model but cannot identify stock. A higher-quality promotional photograph does not repair a conflict between the actual amount and another unit's report.
Request media around specific requirements
Ask for clear relevant views and appropriate normal operation of essential functions. Retain dates and conditions where interpretation depends on them. A concise identified demonstration can be more useful than a long walkaround leaving one mandatory unresolved question.
The inspection scope guide keeps observations separate from qualified findings. Do not request unsafe road, electrical or high-voltage tests for remote proof. A video can show one event without certifying every system or the customer's eventual destination setup.
Separate battery evidence from display impressions
The battery report guide distinguishes assessed results, charge and range display. A favourable screen value cannot establish health or complete vehicle condition. Request the relevant scope for the identified application and retain limitations.
New proposals need actual status, supplied configuration and delivery checks. Used units need supported history and suitable current findings. Do not copy the same favourable summary across different condition routes. Open work should be assigned to a responsible provider rather than hidden beneath attractive photos.
Connect commercial revisions and completion
Use the quotation framework for amount, preparation, currency and transfer stage. Preserve revisions and their reasons after findings change the proposition. A generic estimate should not become an accepted unit-specific offer.
Define what evidence closes a promised remedy and who verifies it. Keep the task pending until results exist, not merely until a seller promises completion before dispatch. The handover file reconciles the final vehicle and supplied items with the accepted scope.
A changing shortlist with extensive media
Suppose the supplier sends many photographs while substituting units. Reconcile the current reference, amount and findings before asking for more. If the best image belongs to an earlier candidate, request the relevant record for the actual offer instead of carrying its condition impression forward.
For a mixed order, the powertrain order review retains individual differences alongside the shared quantity. Keep unnecessary sensitive data out of the initial enquiry. The final dealer file should make the actual selection and remaining limitation clear without treating a remote approval as blanket authority for whichever similar i60 appears next.
When evidence arrives through several channels, retain a compact index of the current files and the questions each answers. Remove rejected candidates from the accepted list without deleting their comparison history. This helps the receiving team distinguish a final supported result from an earlier attractive photograph, provisional observation or superseded commercial revision.
Choose the next action
| Finding or requirement | Purchase response |
|---|---|
| Records refer to different units | Resolve identity before assigning a report or media to the current quotation. |
| Work remains promised | Keep it pending until agreed completion evidence and responsible verification are available. |
| Selected unit changes | Apply the same requirements to the replacement's own configuration and findings. |
Evidence to keep with the decision
- Connect current quotation, original identity, configuration and media to one persistent candidate reference, resolving inconsistencies before collecting more attractive images that still cannot identify which actual car the amount and report describe.
- Request appropriate ordinary views and demonstrations around mandatory decisions, retaining relevant dates and conditions rather than assuming a long walkaround answers an essential technical, history or receiving-user setup question it never clearly represents.
- Keep observations, documents, qualified findings and pending work visibly distinct, with safe provider-defined scope instead of improvised road or high-voltage proof; favourable screen charge or range must not become a universal battery and vehicle condition certificate.
- Preserve commercial revisions and their reasons alongside the same unit, identifying completed versus promised preparation and who verifies it rather than treating a generic estimate or future intention as an accepted finished vehicle offer.
- Reconcile final supply, accessories, condition and release evidence against the accepted file, updating it when the candidate changes rather than granting blanket approval to another similar-looking i60 or carrying over the rejected car's positive findings.
- Retain individual differences for mixed orders and keep unnecessary sensitive information out of initial messages, agreeing suitable later processes when genuinely needed so the dealer's decision file remains clear without becoming an insecure collection of credentials.
Questions buyers ask
Can a walkaround replace all assessment?
No. It supports certain observations while relevant technical and history questions may require qualified findings.
Does a favourable range display settle condition?
No. Battery evidence and whole-vehicle assessment remain separate from a current display.
