Here's a good one. I sold a Tahoe to a younger guy not to long ago. After we drove it, did the deal, and he was ready to go, he pulled out a small hammer and put a ding in the back of it himself. He said that he had to do that so he wouldn't be so uptight about his vehicle. It was one of the strangest things I've ever had a customer do, but it makes sense. He said this way when his kid hits it with a baseball, or when his wife dings the doors up in the parking lot, it won't be as big a deal.

Man thats f#$^ing hilarious. It makes sense but dam i could never do that. I do my best to prevent dents. I drive my wife nuts im so dam anal about my cars. I park my car a football field from the next car and if i see a cart any place near my car i put them away before i go into the store.Great laugh

This is a great guide. Everyone should be careful and bring someone to help inspect the car.

First thing I noticed on mine when I picked it up last night: the dreaded mis-aligned door panel and dash--on my driver side!?

I thought, after the big fiasco about this on Hendrick's car, that this would not be overlooked anymore. Obviously, mine had to have gone through final inspection for me to take delivery, right? I hope there's a TSB on this soon. I keep forgetting to take pics, but I will...

At least the rest of the car seems fine and didn't get damaged in shipping. I'm enjoying it, nonetheless!

Picked mine up yesterday. No big hassles. The "other" inventory manager tried to sell me $45 additional for Nitrogen in the tires. -

He also denied the RP6 price protection existed but it wasn't a whole lot on my car so I left that on the table. I was reasonably OK with that and did not want to call him out on it any more than I did. My sales person already had discussed the extra hold back with me but I did not want to bust him out.

They asked me for the current sticker price on the glass and I gave it to them.

Nothing more, nothing less.

-Mark.

Perhaps someone who has had a Camaro for a while could put together a checklist of things to inspect on the car?
