Taking Delivery on Wednesday, What should I prepare?

john0213 · 06-22-2008, 04:38 AM

The delivery bug is finally almost over~

Three more days and I will be getting my 335xi, I am so excited~!

Anyways, as far as paper work goes, what should I prepare?

What should I look out for so that the dealer doesn't play any trick on me?

Would anyone be able to chime in and give me some idea on what to look out for so I will be able to obtain a smooth car delivery experience?

Thanks in advance~!

I was just wondering that myself. I found this on another thread, http://www.ksl.stanford.edu/people/k...Checklist.html
although it seems a little over-kill to me. I think it is more geared to someone who is buying not leasing. There is some good info there tho.

Also, the one thing I think is important (one again if you are financing or leasing and not outright buying) is to have proof of insurance when you go to pick up the car.

That is all I can figure out, maybe someone else who has been through this process can chime in here, as this is my first BMW also.

Check, and re-check, and re-check, all the numbers. Bring a calculator, even.

When I signed paperwork this weekend, my dealer had the wrong interest rate on everything. I also caught an error on little things like my drivers license number. I'm still annoyed at myself for not catching that the title/tag fees were different than they had originally told me (higher), so that I could've raised that and saved an additional 70$ or so. I might go back and ask about that, since I'm rather annoyed.
