Is there anything I need to double check at my dealer ?

What exactly should I be checking on the car, paperwork options obviously ?

I've never bought a new car before - arggghhh!!!

What should be in the Chilli Pack ?

I can't wait !

hopefully it went ok....

I got mine on Saturday - couldn't believe how thorough the sales people have to be with the paperwork (very german took a whole hour, had to sign the warranty book, I just wanted to get in and drive

)

watch out for any detail mistakes with the car like: paint defects, missing trim etc check they give you a full tank of petrol and that all your options are there. I got an extra CD auto changer which I hadn't ordered! Debating with the garage whether or not I'll have to give it back or have to pay for it!

Hope your new S is as good as mine

If it was their mistake it is pretty tight of them to take it back or expect you to pay for it when you hadn't ordered it.

thought I should mention it as I didn't want to pay extra for it! also in London an auto changer is going to get nicked sooner or later along with your fav cds! I got free champagne & key ring and am not to0 fussed if the garage have the cd changer back as it takes up quite a lot of boot space.....
May still get it free though..
