Alright guys, Just talked to the dealer and he said that a lil while ago, a Yellow vette rolled off the truck. I'll b picking it up tom and dont know if I'll be able to sleep properly tonite.

Can somebody point me to the checklist that someone compiled. It was like things to do when picking up the new vette. I tried searching for it but couldnt find it.

 

anybody...!!!!!!!

 

I have seen a few very comprehensive checklists to use, but can't remember where. Hope that you find them or someone chimes in with the reference.

 

Here's the one I got from the foum and added a few things of my own:

One Week before Pickup

Post test-drive
- Discuss any concerns from the test drive

- Does the service department offer loaners or pickup/drop off services? This might be a good time to find out.
- Ask dealer if they would check 4-wheel alignment due to issues of misalignment noted by others (note, probably should be done after ~500 miles to let the suspension 'settle')

Before You Sign
- This is last. Double check all the numbers with the paperwork you brought with you. Use your calculator if needed!
- Verify VIN and options to invoice and financing paperwork
- Are you considering any extended service warranties?
- Ask about wheel and tire protection plan.

I was so excited about getting the car that I didn't notice this.
