What to check for car collection?

[ShaneL]

Hey bros.

Collecting my car tomorrow evening.

Just wondering if there is a checklist or things to be checked before finally accepting the vehicle?

Thanks!!

usually just the physical appearance. internal mechanical issues will only crop up once you start driving it.

my personal checklist whenever I collect a new car. am sure other brudders are more thorough as well....

1) kerb rash on your wheels/rims

2) under carriage kerb rash (under the bumpers)

3) exterior paint coat is pristine.

4) interior upholstery is intact. no gashes, scratches, de-colorations, etc

immediately on driving off, switch off all radio:

1) listen for rattles.

finally... savour the new leather smell.

Congrats! It is an exciting occassion!

normally the excitement will get the better of you, end up not checking anything and not listening to what your SE trying to tell you, drive off lieo...
