01

Distinguish sourcing discussion from accepted stock

State whether the arrangement concerns a search brief, a proposed unit or a specifically accepted vehicle. A model enquiry does not reserve a car or identify the parties’ obligations. Where a unit is selected, preserve its reference and the dated quotation scope. The dealer sourcing guide keeps the broader brief separate from individual approval. Avoid writing one vague model line beneath detailed payment instructions and expecting it to describe everything the customer accepted. Have the actual agreement clarify the purpose of the deposit rather than assuming every transaction stage creates the same commitment.

02

Name the version and included battery

Record original designation, production information, registration status and the relevant battery scope. Establish whether separate rights or agreements need resolution. The battery ownership checks cover that question in detail. A phrase such as PLUS with new battery can leave both factory identity and replacement history unanswered. Tie the record to supporting documents and describe what is included at delivery. Do not use a brochure from another country as the entire schedule for an older China candidate. The accepted description must survive comparison with the car and components actually released.

03

List useful delivered equipment

Name keys, charging items, accessories and essential cabin functions that belong to the purchase. Distinguish factory items, seller additions and requests that remain unconfirmed. The language and phone review helps translate a broad connectivity claim into demonstrated tasks. A list of desired features is different from an accepted supply commitment. Where an item is optional, state whether it affects price or acceptance. Missing equipment should not emerge as a surprise at handover because an image illustrated it without anyone establishing that it was included in the agreed offer.

04

Attach the condition baseline and limitations

Refer to the dated relevant inspection and observations, including access limits and open findings. Use the inspection framework without replacing the actual report with a generic checklist. Identify which preparation is completed and which remains proposed. A schedule should not describe a car as fully checked where an essential charging or condition task could not be established. Preserve the level of evidence the buyer actually accepted. If an observed cosmetic issue is accepted, describe its scope; if a material issue requires further assessment, keep it separate from a minor presentation allowance.

05

Allocate work and acceptance milestones

Name who performs each outstanding task, the expected evidence and the point at which the buyer reviews it. Discuss timing, payment and release in the actual commercial arrangement with qualified advice where required. The schedule does not create universal inspection, cancellation or refund rights on its own. Avoid a loose promise that preparation will be completed sometime after arrival when the customer needs its result before commitment. A supported repair proposal and the completed repeat check are different records. Make the distinction clear enough that another person can reconcile the promise with the delivered result.

06

Define how substitutions are handled

Identify how the parties will propose and approve a changed unit, configuration or included item. A substitute that shares the E-QM5 badge can have different equipment, condition or battery arrangements. Preserve the original accepted record instead of editing its vehicle reference beneath an old inspection. Reprice and review the new offer through the appropriate process. The seller and scope review needs updating where authority or transaction parties change. Do not assume that a bulk purchase permits one inspected car’s approval to cover every replacement; the buyer must understand the actual agreed decision boundary.

07

Reconcile the schedule at departure and receipt

Match the delivered items and final unit with the accepted record and later preparation evidence. The departure-stage review addresses changes after the initial baseline. Retain the actual contract, schedule and relevant communications securely, sharing permitted records with the receiving parties. Clarify which issues belong to seller preparation and which belong to the carrier’s separate responsibilities. This makes the transaction easier to explain without inventing legal protections or promising perfect delivery. A precise readable file is useful for new or used cars because the customer knows what was accepted and what remains conditional.
