Need advice on Delivery

[Batson34]

First thing you can do is check the build date (usually located on the sticker in the drivers door). Depending on when the vehicle was built you may request that the fluid, especially oil & filter be changed because face it if your H2 was built in March those fluids have for the most part been sitting idle for nearly 6 mos.

Don't sign any final paperwork until actual delivery

I would let the dealer know that the delivery process will be a long one as you intend to make a complete inspection of the vehicle regardless of the inspection the dealership does upon delivery from the factory, but I would ask then for a copy of that inspection they did upon delivery.

Tell them you want to meet with a service tech and have YOUR vehicle put up on a rack for examination and explanation of the underside of your vehicle. This forum has well documented to surface rust issues with the H2.

Take a notebook and write down EVERYTHING you discuss. This is a $50K vehicle and should be perfect on delivery.

It just my opinion but don't let them put any cheesy dealer license plate holders or dealer stickers on your vehicle unless of course they are paying you to advertise. Although some spare tire covers or hitch covers are very tasteful.

All these tips and the extensive tips from the motleyfool will let the salesman know this car better be perfect and will likely result in him following the prep process firsthand.

Enjoy your ride!
