Thanks for posting. One question I have is whether this should be done before or after you sign the papers and technically accept ownership of the car. I think it should be done before but last time the delivery did not happen until after I was through finance and had effectively signed on the dotted lines. Therefore, I couldn’t really reject the car if there’s something wrong. Would love to get an idea from folks here on how they have approached it??
