Thank you. |

Sounds crazy but I’d bring a quart of oil with you. Check oil level when it’s offloaded.
Check tire pressure before the drive home

Definitely check the basics listed here, especially if you have potential dealbreakers, but don't worry if you miss a thing or two from the exhaustive list Maverick linked, the car is under warranty.

Check the tires for tread fractures. I don't call them cracks, because they are worse. Occurs when an SS 1LE, ZL1, or ZL1 1LE are driven in cold temps

This is something I screwed up. Dealership pushed some extra options on me like locking lug nut, some protection on the door, onstar, weather proof mats. I obviously didn't want any of it. I had to fly out to pick up the car and I looked over the car for any damage ect and drove out of there. Only to find out most of the stuff I paid for except for on star was never in the car. I called the dealership back, they said they would mail it to me and of course I never got it.

Yes, comprehensive is an understatement when it comes to that thread, and it definitely needs to be filtered down to the reader's personal OCD level! It did help me to focus on the potential "things can happen in delivery" issues when I picked mine up.

Also check hood and door alignments. My hood was way off. Dealer took care of it in about 1/2 an hour.
