Hi guys,
Below is a list of things I believe everyone should look over before accepting their car from the dealer, these are in no particular order!
This is set up to help those picking up their cars soon who might not know what to look for, or have missed previous peoples issues.
Thanks all for the additional points, seems we've got a quite comprehensive list now !
Below is a list of things I believe everyone should look over before accepting their car from the dealer, these are in no particular order!
- Panel Alignments - Check them all. Refuse anything else. Boot lid alignment aswell.
- F5 SD card for Maps (Nav only), some come with F4 (out of date) - Ask your dealer to upgrade this. NAV/SHAKER pro pack only. Comes in Center Console / arm rest SD Card slot
- Rear Window alignment / not shaking
- Bonnet Pinch (Center of bonnet is pinched in) - FIX: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?t=40731
- Under-spray in the correct places, not haphazardly done
- Wire Loom fix input (Heat resistor on loom) - IMPORTANT. If it is not done, arrange your dealer order the parts IMMEDIATELY and book yourself in to get it fixed. Better safe than sorry. GT ONLY
- Tyre pressures
- 'Delivery Mileage'
- Plates put on as you asked (Holder or 'stuck on')
- Window sticker (if you wish to keep it)
- Paint swirls/Spiderwebs - Incorrectly 'prepared for pickup'
- Scratches or marks on anything
- Correct 'extras' added to the car
- If financed - correct finance deal in place - READ THE SMALL PRINT
- Correct price - there was a Jan 2016 £500 price rise, those ordered BEFORE 2016 should not be paying 'that extra £500' - check on your order form, that is what you pay.
- Any prearrangement's with the dealer that you had have been carried out - specific to individual
- Spare Tyre kit in place in the boot
- Two keys with the car (Key blade in the key fobs as well)
- Gear shifter doesn't make 'noises' (Might have to mention this to your dealer so they're aware before hand)
- No dodgy paint work - Bubbles/silicone on the paint
- No Dents anywhere
- No Dirt anywhere
- Proper 'Sync' installed (If Sync 3 is installed, don't mention it to your dealer :lol
- Check operation of all lights
- Check all levels, oil, water, brake fluid etc
- Ask if they can put the car on a ramp to check steering suspension and brakes.
- Individual Tonneau Caps should be in boot convertibles ONLY.
- Check mirror's are operational and fold properly
- Leather Trim of seats (and other parts) as per - http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?p=1049339&posted=1#post1049339
- Engine coolant levels
- Locking wheel nuts fitted
- Trunk / boot light functioning
- Check service book for warranty stamp / PDI stamps
