Default flaws/defects to look for when picking up a new Zio six from the dealer

when I pick up my z06 in the coming weeks, what common flaws or defects should I look for?

I had heard that paint chips around the headlights could be an issue.

One good one to look for is if it fails to start - That's could be an indication of flaw/defect. Good luck!

I have misaligned panels off my front bumper. It’s common. Look closely at the gaps between all panels.

I had paint flaw on front lower panel below the grill. Also discolouration on one of the seats.
Dealer fixed both pre-delivery.

You'll be surprised what your eyes will miss just walking around. What I do first thing when I get my C8 home is grab a bottle of detail spray and wipe down the whole car this forces you to look at every square inch. Look at body panel fit as the same time.
