Vehicle delivery checklist

[smurfslayer]

I think a lot of advice depends on where you live.

Here in Atlanta, these trucks sell out in 5 days or less right now. No dealer in their right mind is going to let you do all that unless it's the last day of the month and it rained every day for the last two weeks straight.

Now, if you're someplace where these vehicles don't sell often, you may have more time and leverage.

Not saying you shouldn't inspect the vehicle before accepting delivery, but smurfslayer's process seems extreme to me for a new vehicle...

I’m in northern Virginia. Regionally, I know of 2 trucks that spent more than a day on the lot. both were trucks with a $20k ADM but sadly, some of the $20k ADM trucks sold and so did the $15k, $10k, $5k, $2K and $1k ADM trucks. All of them. So, sure the dealer will cooperate. I’m sure there were some Raps out there sitting, but my marketplace was pretty busy, and I ran through that entire list without any sort of issues with the dealer.

How about that checklist...

1. boxlink keys present
2. floor mats installed or present
3. antenna installed
4. both keys
5. Sirius activated if applicable

Please feel free to add to this list as I am guessing and this is no way a complete list of things to make sure you have before you leave.

Did I miss anything?

There was a thread on here 6 months ago that compiled a list of all the niggles people found in their early production trucks. Probably some merit in digging that up and double checking those common production mistakes.
