What to inspect when taking delivery?

I will be taking delivery of my new CLS soon. What should I pay special attention to when the dealer turns the car over to me? (details would be apreciated).... Thanks in advance.

Congratulations!!

I got mine last week. The dealer recommended this teflon interior/exterior sealant for $595, which I had done. I don't think it's really necessary though, since MB probably puts protective stuff on the paint anyway. But since mine is silver I thought it might be a good idea. One word of caution: the stuff they put on the interior kinda suppresses that new car smell.

BTW, I absolutely love the car and it has no problems.

Have them move the car into the sun to inspect the paint. This will best reveal any paint flaws..

Funny you should say that - I know for a fact it's on a ship just now between Zeebrugge in Belgium and England. I guess if they just hang a left, then left again, Hawaii ain't too far off. You take good care of it now
