Checklist when picking up new STi at dealer ?

***squid*** · 06-09-2005, 08:45 PM

Title says it all.
Is there anything dealers might skip, forget, or 'cheat' you out of ?

ask them where the floormats are. (or do they come with floormats now?) Anyway my dealer threw in some all-weather ones at the last minute.

check for any scratches on the car and check the rims too for curb rash. if it doesnt come with sti floormats then they should at least throw some type of floormat in. oh and if your getting a short throw as an options make sure its an upgraded short throw. Dealer told me I was gonna have the short throw on in when it comes in and a week after i picked it up they told me it is a short throw but theres a upgraded short throw.

Make sure they took the bags off of the suspension.

thanks,

Delivery highlights:

1) Check to see if your tires are inflated to the proper setting.
(Go see wheel and tire topic to learn what proper is.)

2) Check all the fluids in the engine bay including the engine oil,
antifreeze in the radiator, and transmission oil.

3) Specifically ask the dealership to check the oil levels in the
differentials (some STis have been delivered with low levels of oil
which were not discovered until significant mileage had occurred.)

4) Did I mention floor mats?

5) Verify that you receive the little ID tag that identifies your
STi's key code in the event you need to request one in the future.

6) Check for scratches, dings, paintwork on body, curb rash on wheels.

7) Check for low miles. Less than 20 miles.

[Thanks Kevin of King of Imports, LLC]

ps, I pick mine up in 12 hours.
