Collection Tips, anyone?
« on: May 02, 2009, 07:03:05 pm »
OK, so I'm collecting the new A500 on Friday (woo-hoo!!), but I've never bought a brand new car before. 

Can anyone give me any tips what I should do/look for on collection please?  Obviously have a good look round it for marks, scratches, chips, etc, but anything else?   Also, what should i be given with the car, please?  I know about the service book, owners manual, and a car key (+ spare, I hope).  But in case I'm missing something?

Thank you!

    I'm sure your dealer will help you through the process.  It's all very easy.  You should get a good tour of everything in the car.  My dealer paired my phone to blue & me and showed me how to navigate through the menus etc..  Yes, look at everything.  Check the front seats move OK and tilt forward OK.  Look in the boot and check the back seats go down like they're supposed to. If you find anything out oforder, insist that it is sorted out.  Be careful driving away in your new car too.  I found myself catching the accelerator a bit when hitting the brake because I wasn't used to the size of the pedals.  Enjoy it.  Buying your first new car is very exciting and the A500 is a superb new car to be buying. :thumb:
