That's the rule. Why does that rule exist? I don't know. Does the rule make sense? No. But it's the rule."I'd like this car"
"Thank you for your purchase"
"Can I take it home with me?"
"No"
"Why not?"
"Because delivery takes two weeks"
"But the car is right here"
"Two weeks"
Bro what? Just get one of your guys to valet it. It's not that hard.
Probably has to do with registration and such. Unless it's a big established dealer that can do everything in house including registration and transfer or issue of plates, they would need to go through the DMV (whatever the Japan equivalent is) for registration and plates. Seeing how this manga is based out in the "sticks", that most likely means the dealer probably has to goto the closest DMV which could be a all day job (going by bus and/or train [or driving] to a large city hours away), which would also mean they only do so one or two times a week.basically as far as I can tell, it takes the dealer around 2 weeks to finalise all the legal work and register the transfer of ownership etc
so its not actually your car until all of thats been handled and no issues have appeared.
2 WEEKS?, it literally took me around 15 min to do the paperwork. I wasted more time driving to the place than waiting for the paperwork.basically as far as I can tell, it takes the dealer around 2 weeks to finalise all the legal work and register the transfer of ownership etc

it really depends on the location and the norm for each country. lots of dealerships near where I live are all big franchises with in-house systems designed to automate everything. but older and more rural places tend to be solo operations and still require them reaching out to various other places the old fashioned way because they don't have the means to switch to the "modern" approach. our meeting might take only upto an hour to sign, but the timer keeps counting until its recorded with all the relavent people/places.2 WEEKS?, it literally took me around 15 min to do the paperwork.

yeah. I'm so used to ordering things now and seeing the tracker atleast leave the store for a post office by the next day and soon after continue on it's way. but when ordering something from tokyo japan smaller business it would take 2-3 days for the item to reach the post office and another 2-3 before it actually set off to be exported and that was airmail, when it didnt become slightly too heavy and find itself delivered by ship 😅 I really learned what patience was when I saw my delivery estimate go from 2 weeks to 3 months overnight ahahaha.Probably has to do with registration and such.

Apparently it got something to do with registration system and other legal processes, which forces people to wait for weeks to get the car they brought.What kind of bizarre situation does Japan have? You can't just drive the car off the lot?
Mostly because the author has no idea what he's doing with the story.Why is there so much focus on that cafe old man I wonder? He gets more importance than everybody else other than the main characters.
Kinda worried it'll turn out the mom had an affair or something and he'll be the real father.Why is there so much focus on that cafe old man I wonder? He gets more importance than everybody else other than the main characters.
