Thanks for the suggestions guys however I believe they do not really suit my thread. While those three items are very important, I believe they would be more suited to the general FAQ section.

I'm thinking the valve adjust warning for dbw cars should be included. If someone buys an '06+, a valve adjust should be one of the first things they do. This is new info, latest findings from Billman, warning to all '06+ (all dbw) owners.

I would suggest checking for the spare tire and cleaning the leaves, moths, butterflies, and grasshoppers out of the radiator.

Good idea. Check for jack and tools in trunk well too. Look for wheel locks and make sure have key too.

I just bought an '09 BB with 57k miles. Had the engine and vitals checked over by well respected member/mechanic, AlexS2200, and he recommended the same thing. I had this done along with the standard compression test.
