Default Re: New car delivery tips

Apart from anything else, I sit in the car like a dummy with the salesman and get instructions on how to use or adjust things. Things get tested and I might learn something too.

Using the same logic I go over my cars with the salesman. Possibly the worse problem I've found before delivery was an unsealed join near the rear passenger's door jam. I've had missing accessories, it's never been an issue to resolve.

If bluetooth is important to you, pair your phone before you pay.

The most petty and inconvenient problem I've had was with a Landcruiser. I spent a fortune with ARB on accessories before delivery. Day of delivery I took the driving light cover off and the guts came out with the cover. Dealership tried to fix it without success. I wasted a full day getting it resolved. (ARB blamed the dealership and vice versa, I refused to pay for the replacement driving light).

Enjoy your new ride
