Picking up today, what should I watch out for?
 

I finally get to pick up today!

Is there anything I should watch out for when picking it up? I plan on checking the structure, making sure I see no damage or whatever. Is there anything else?

Thanks!

- Make sure the dealer filled 91 or better
- Rips and tears in seats
- Double check engine oil
- Double check transmission oil (heard of a dealer forgetting)
- Body panel fitment

Adding to Wookie:

-Dont get their car wash!
-Test drive it
-Make sure you papers are correct in pricing, watch out for any markups.

Look around for paint blemishes. They might be willing to fix those before you sign and drive off, might not be willing to afterwards.

Test drive the vehicle before signing, even if you have before, to be sure that this car that you're about to take home drives how you expect it.

Also, congratulations, and I wish you great luck with this vehicle. Be happy!

One of my former coworkers (we work on the same floor now, but we both used to work on the same team, now have both moved onto new teams) buys a lot of cars (his latest is a C63 AMG, yummeh!) so he has a lot of experience with them so he said to check over the following things:
Check paint over with a white flashlight for any blemishes/major scratches
Under-carriage (especially the front) - since the BRZ/FR-S are super low cars, it's easy for the dealer to have scratched it pulling it off the delivery truck, or pulling it out of the lot for the test drive
Windows - stone chips - while out for the test drive, the car may have been hit by a stone, so check for stone chips on your window
Also make sure your interior is free of any tears, and if there are any water-spots or the like, have them clean it up there.

DO NOT SIGN FOR IT UNTIL YOU'VE LOOKED IT OVER. Ask the dealer to give you 20 minutes of alone, uninterrupted time with the car, preferably outside if it's sunny, or indoors in a well-lit area if possible. Bring a friend if possible!

Side note: I'm going to pick mine up on the 25th!! :D Cannot frickin' WAIT!!

check that the dealer installed the rubber grommets under the car near the wheels. it's part of the predelivery inspection (PDI).

Mine were missing.

Markups

how do you check what level octane fuel was used?

Just ask the dealer what they filled up with, or the mechanic that was doing the PDI.

Thanks a lot everyone!

Pick-up went well. This thing is amazing!
