Default What should I inspect?

I am picking up my vehicle on Friday. I would like to conduct a detailed inspection before I drive it from Kansas to Colorado. Any ideas from you girls and guys?

As much as you physically and visually can! I would mostly target the fitment and paint, a lot of the mechanical stuff won't expose itself until usage takes place anyway. Check to see that everything works also and good luck with your new ride and have a safe trip home!

Make sure the dealer checks the fluid levels in the diff and trans.

Make sure it matches your invoice, including all options.

Apparently, we should check for everything, including the obvious.

Paint around Rear spoiler by brake light, center area. Rer deck closer, instrument lighting when dark, or inside. Look at everything...
