New Car acceptance checklist
I'm making notes for when I pick up my car, based on the experiences I've read about on here. If something more complete exists, point me to it. Please suggest changes / additions... I know this isn't complete.
(I realize some (most?) will think this is overkill. Maybe I even agree. Except once I sign for it, I have an 11 hour drive home and I'd like to have something to guide an inspection other than "Yeah, looks like what I ordered.")

Add check air pressure, many cars are overinflated on delivery.

Since this has been an issue, might be worth adding to the list to check the XM subscription is for a full year and not the 3 months as well before you leave. That way the dealer can deal with the XM person on the phone for you instead of having to play phone tag with both while being a middle man.

But I might add this, if something is broken on the car it's warranty so you don't really have to find it while you're there. And you're not going to fix it immediately, you're going to have to come back. But the main thing you want to check is the overall paint condition of the car and the wheels , so that they cant blame you, 2 weeks later when you find the scratch. Scratches dents dings and things like that are the big things you want to find while you're at the delivery.
Just an FYI |

Good point. I'd like to add an attributed comment section in that post, below the checklist (so it doesn't get buried in the thread). Mind if I cut/paste yours?
