Question #14: What to look for before taking delivery?

[DanT]

While I understand the philosophy behind this post, one should NOT have to do anything other than a quick look over and drive off. The PDI should include all fluids and systems check properly. Sure you will hear horror stories, but you can rest assured that 99.9% are good to go.

Nope. Have much better things to do with my time than spending hours trying to find fault with a new vehicle. I have purchased over 50 new vehicles and have been Blessed to have received them with no problems.

So I guess if the tooth fairy is responsible, so be it. LOL

Might want to have your "friend" check the radiator whiskey level.

So the dealer was very disturbed by this picture. The dealer is conducting a thorough inspection of all vehicles on the lot and launching an independent investigation into this. A commission has been selected to review all lot security cams and social media platforms to see if any malfeasance was threatened.

What is this mark here?

We'll tackle this matter when the lot stain investigation is complete. Since you are Canadien, we will have to involve the RCMP since you discovered this. Do you know Tom Mabe?

Really, for a stain in the pavement?? Oh god! The dealer must be just appeasing your constant interrogatory analysis of this Raptor.

Yes they are. I forgot to mention that they are also removing and inspecting all radiators from vehicles currently on their lot. And also recalling any delivery or customer vehicles that may/may not have driven on the lot in the past 30 days.

This is gonna sound stupid, but check the rear window defogger. No one, I repeat, No one ever checks it.
Guess what! Mine was trashed. The conductive material was scratched off on at least 5 of the lines.
Now I have to convince Ford that I didn't do it. The lighter lines look like they're there, but there's no conductive material on them.
