anyone have a good checklist for taking delivery?

thanks,
richard

 

Here's my list:

1. Ensure the spring spacers have been removed from all four wheels.

2. Do a walk around and look for dings, scratches, etc. and check the interior for oil spots, etc. --- all the usual Ops stuff that can happen around a dealership.

3. Do a quick test drive to ensure everything is functioning ok.

4. You're done. Enjoy.

 

Add: Torque the spark plugs.

 

IMO there is no reason to suspect that S2000 are being delivered new with plugs that are not set to factory specs.

I realize a small number of owners reported major engine failure due to loose spark plugs. An even larger number report finding loose spark plugs when checked. Some owners believe Honda

 

About the plugs:
Better safe then sorry. You know Honda will throw it back in his face in a few thousand miles if the motor pops. They will not cover it under warrenty. Look what happen to the guys with the #4 cylinder failure.

??? From what Barry has been reporting the vast majority were replaced at no cost -- some without a hassle and some with, but still........ I'm not aware of anyone who had to eat the total cost.
