I used the Checksheet to collect my 308 and I think it miss out a few things in there.....anyway it was helpful and thanks to the Author.
But here are things that were missed out when I used the checksheet to inspect my car...so I drove it for a few days before spotting the 'defects'.
1. Inside the headlight was like a stain...probably it had a scratch and the factory decided to polish it back....not so noticeable...but its there...cannot claim one.
2. The dials chrome bit had some blemish dots....not so noticeable...but its there...cannot claim one.
3. The boot plastic panels seems like the surface not so even....not so noticeable...but its there...cannot claim one.
4. I tinted the whole car using Wingard for RM900, but they didn't tint the moonroof and also I think the didn't use the same tint for the whole windows. Side is same but rear and front looks like different. The color I ask for was also a bit different...mine was smoke black...but instead got Satin Silver.The tinted black for the portion above with I didn't like and seems like it wasn't perfect. Not sure why, the black and silver was in the small wingard cateloge, but can't find it in the webby.
5.The most you can ask for from the sales person is petrol full tank, the rest of the things like umbrella, pen they will say no stock, so get what you can first...a full tank.
6.Ask the salesman to set the car for you...blutooth, DRL, Brightness etc. Reading the manual book is good...but time consuming just to set up the basic functions.
One thing that most impact during collecting a car is the lightning condition of the showroom....it will hide many imperfections...better you drive it slightly outside under the sun and start doing the inspection. I know it will be hot and sweaty...but this is one time effort.
Good luck and congrats on your new ride
