That red is striking. Looks great. Did you end up using the inspection list? I printed it and brought a clip board but I kinda feel like a dick bringing it. Not sure if I will use it or not.
At least it looks like it is off by an equal amount on each side? As opposed to lopsided.

I'm using it now. I'm not sure about accepting delivery. There are a lot of scratches in the clear coat and damage on the underside of the front of the car. I don't know if the next car will be any better, though.
I plan on using it. I'm kinda' a dick anyway. Why hide it?
Seriously, this is the most I've ever paid for a car. I don't expect it to be perfect and I *REALLY* want the car but I will reject for serious issues. Like the rear glass scraping and grinding in that video. <cringe>
Edit: Small, nearly unnoticeable paint defects or small panel mis-alignments I will likely accept.

Unbelievable. There is no excuse for any damage under the car. Any delivery trucker should have been fired or replaced by now.
True. It could even be worse, and more expensive.
I'm going to live with this one for the remainder of the warranty, and the next one will be used of a different brand. I won't be fooled three times!
Based on my recent experience last week, once the car arrived or was set to arrive at the store, I got an email asking to pick a day.
They gave me a ~5 day window to pick a time. They eventually let me push it out to about 7 day days. Worst case scenario is you ask them to put your order on hold until your back. The hold is 2 weeks, but you can come off that hold before 2 weeks. If the car is still on their lot when you come off hold, I assume you'd be matched up to the same car, otherwise next available vin matching your order?

Nope! Usually I've seen them in the back sides.
That's almost as bad as mine, and I thought I cornered the market...
Scratches can be fixed, and once you do, probably won't be looking under the car every day. But those wrinkles, IDK, I'd be rejecting if I could.

If that is the worst you have, you are lucky . I personally would not get excited about it. May I be so lucky Friday when I pickup my car.

I saw a MX last year in the Van Nuys SvC.
It was covered in little pieces of green tape.
On every one, was written, "Within Spec"
Don't expect too much from Service.

The problem is they can't fix most of them. They can't fix paint. Interior pieces maybe can be replaced.
Oh I don't. I'm planning on looking for EVERYTHING we can find then going back and removing the tape for the thing(s) we are willing to accept. What's left will be reason for reject. Hopefully we'll have no tape on the car at the end.
Edit: My son-in-law will be going with me and is VERY nit-picky about cars. He hand washes (and caresses) his "baby" (Shelby Cobra Mustang) at least once a week.

Yeah. I gave up and I'm leaving. Too many little things wrong with it. Nothing major, but still.
