Default Picking up my MY04 today! Checklist?

Hi everyone. I'm picking up my new Silverstone MY04 this afternoon and wanted to know what to check for (e.g. things to observe while test driving, inspection, etc.). I couldn't readily find this in a faq, so if it does exist, please point me to it.

Thanks.

Picking up a MY04 Sebring tomorrow, suppose to be today but it is raining and it is hard to look over a car when it is wet.

Anyways looking forward to it. Also -

Inspect the car for shipping damage.

Be sure to check under the bumper for scrapes as well. Mine was damaged coming off of the truck. The driver said he "always hates dealing with them low-rider cars."

Are the spring spacers easily visible when the car is not on a lift?

Sunscreen and a big $hit eating grin....but I think the grin may come standard.

Enjoy!

Check thoroughly each wheel, panel, window and inspect the interior for marks and scratches and, being as "picky" as I am, check your oil level and tyre pressures (32psi).

If it's an 04, check to see if they have set the time on the clock for you - this speaks volumes to me of whether they are "picky" like me or not.

Check the paint thoroughly!! Pensacola Honda has an '04 NFR that has the worst paint job I've ever seen on a new car.
