Default Alright everyone....since I'm doing the new car thang in the morning (hopefully)....

Would ya'll please remind me of the list of what I have to do...ie...do not let them wash the car...et al?

I sure would appreciate it, since I was ignorant of it the first time!

Sincerely,

Swirly Girly : )

Default Check under the front "chin"; mine came scratched . . .

. . . look at the paint in daylight, check for uneven surfaces (particularly at the truck deck, which dents easily if not closed correctly) and, of course, check the mileage!

Brilliant Black again?

Default AoA bought her TT back after "admitting" that it had been repainted before delivery

although the underlying reason for the repaint is still unclear (maybe Gina knows more by now). They're giving her a new Moro Blue.

Default Speaking of mileage, mine had 26 on the odometer at delivery,

The dealer said that is average, he said the car had not been driven after drop-off at the dealer. Does it sound correct to you guys?

Default I'd first look at the car under flourescent lighting....

That type of light will show any paint flaws if there are any(swirl marks, etc.)

And I'm sure you know this.....but maybe listen for any weird clunks on accel, decel, turning and so on......but of course you knew this ;-)

A little luminol will also reveal blood (could be important).
