New car checklist for purchasing a MKX

[cmoses]

Anyone have a checklist for purchasing a new car? One that is specific to the MKX/Edge would be even better. I just want to make sure I check over everything before driving it off the lot.

what kind of checklist... I would say one thing you can do is go to the website and print out the full list of options. for example, the Edge you can go to that vehicle page and within one click show the list of standard features. then with another click you can "build" it and price with options.

 

you can also do this kind of thing on Edmunds. in my case after I ordered a vehicle and it arrived, I walked around it several times, sat in it, started it up but didn't drive it. made sure everything worked. started it up (didnt really drive it, trusted if there were any problems I'd find it within the 1st 30 days). adjusted everything, seats, mirrors, etc. I made sure all the options I ordered were there as expected. checked the window sticker which had been placed in the glovebox already. eventually I found two minor, but relatively long surface scratches on the car. the fleet salesman, when I told him, noticed one more. two of them buffed out right on the spot but one did not. so I had them open a work order to take care of during my 1st service. in other words, make sure it's everything you were expecting but also look for any obvious defects before signing all the paperwork and leaving the lot.

 

this was my 1st time EVER buying a new car and a special moment for me so I was ecstatic and understand where you're coming from (I think). hope this helps!
