Should add 14,500 miles on the car.
- In how many months? not the same daily usage if it's 6 months or 18 months
- Where do you meet? At the owner place (good to check for any garage)? A public place?....
- How does the owner want to get pay? Check, certified check....
- Will the car still be driven by the owner after you saw the car, until you pay for the car, and get the access cards?
- Note: There should be two access cards.
- When do you need to renew the DMV sticker?
- Check the wear and tear of the tires (get a
tire tread gauge) and uneven wear.
- Look at the 4 lifting areas under the car to see if there is any scratches or damages from using a jack without putting a hockey puck.
- Get information about maintenance (ever visited a Service Center ?)
- Are they charging at home or work? (Using a wall charger of the portable one?)
- Does the portable charger includes the 120 V and 14-50 adapter?
- How often A Supercharger was used (You can see the amount of dollars spent when clicking on the <> icon [to pop up Charging status]
- Aks then which SuperCharger they used or recommend.
- Is the car parked in a cover garage, open air parking lot, street parking?
- Idem for work location.
- Usage of the car: How many miles for commute, typical weekend activity (driving off road to go to a cabine..)
- Does they have kids, pets...
- Check the wear on the seat, test for all the electric seat motion.
The flat button in the middle (on the side of the seat) is to inflate a small balloon in the back of the seat)
- Check any glass, in particular roof for any cracks, even tiny (which might expand later)
- Check for any scratches on the headlights and fog light
- Does the front license is present? If so how is it attached?
- Test if your phone is detected for proximity to open and lock automatically.
- Does your phone allows you to make or receive phone call (Not working with my Galaxy Note 8)
- Check the original floor mats (they are very skinny) so may be they put some other floor mats.
- Check for scratches in the Frunk side (only the bottom has a floor mat) and check if the tow hook is present below the mat.
- Check if all the panels are correctly aligned: Put your finger at the intersection where panels joint, especially Frunk and Trunk.
- Check if chrome cover around the small rear window is aligned with the rear door (Good way to see if the windows was replaced)
- Ask to the owner to press on the brake and use the back up to check if all the lights are fine.
- Test if all the car proximity sensors are working: You need to move the car near an other car or a wall,
there should be some orange then red color lines on the picture of the car display and audible noise.
