1. NO one touches MY car; no dealer prep,no wash, sealent, ect.
2. No more than 20 miles on odometer, unles it's a swap to get the color I want and then I go along.
3. spring spacer if used can be removed.

If search wasn't useless, you could search for 'dealer letter'. You'd find everything you're looking for there.

I wouldn't say NO dealer prep, but tell them not to bother washing it. Just inspect it carefully before you leave the lot and you should be fine. Dealer prep also involves checking fluids, filling the gas tank, etc.

I would specify no dealer stickers on the car. If they have to advertise, let them use a license plate surround, which you can throw away later.

Be mindful that some of these checklist items will not be waived by the dealer because of liability purposes. The washing/detailing is minor, but many dealers make it a point to check fluids and do a short drive to make sure they are not giving you a faulty vehicle.

I got my '04 when it was only 5 miles. If you order it, I believe you can expect for a lot lower than 20 miles on it.
