Default New C7 PDIs?

I intend to do a paint and underside inspection of the new 2017 C7 vert I intend to buy, before writing a check for the car. I did not inspect the exterior body for any damage(s) nor get it up on a rack to inspect the front fairing. I put a fully refundable deposit on the car 13 days ago.

One more thing......I also intend to put the convertible top down and back up to confirm its good operation. Where does one look and when for sitting/leaking water in the well of the vet's top mechanism? Also, where would one look for vert hydraulic oil leakage?

I ask these Qs because I am reading of flaws that other new C7 buyers have reported, immediately after buying their new cars. Thx for any help or experience in final PDIs!
