Hi, I'm new to the forum and just got a 2001 cl, Black/Black for invoice price. This is my first car and i'm interested in what i should look for when i pick up the car in a few days. Any things to make sure that they include... etc. Thanks

 

Show room shine, no dings or scratshes, Services Bulletin done...

Nice smell of a new car.......

Do not get on rainy day....

be easy on her for a while

 

Inspect the car in daylight, not under lights and never at night!

 

panels, make sure they aren't off-set or mis-aligned...

Lift with your legs! :P

 

Haha...good one.

 

What do you mean?

 

I would say read everyones complaints and look for them on the car. Example accuator, muffler not even, HID allignment, cup holder, missing trunk-net, scratched gearshift template, etc.

So far my only problem was the SRS light wouldn't go off, fixed under warranty.

Is the server time off. I'm seeing posts posted at 1am. I'm EST and it's 11:15pm.

 

I can't believe nobody has mentioned this yet.............MAKE SURE THEY DIDN'T SCREW THE FRONT PLATE INTO THE BUMPER!!!!!!!!!!
If you ever plan on removing the front plate, it is going to look ugly as HELL with the two drilled holes.

 

Make the 'guy' drive around with ya and listen for those INFAMOUS RATTLES !!!

Make em fix the sunroof if it's not already done. I've had NEW 2002 TL's for loaners recently, and this problem STILL persists !
