I worked prepping new cars at a Jeep/Eagle dealership a while back. It's those things they do that make me nervous.

I think I'll ask them for a checklist of what exactly they plan on doing, and scratch off the stuff I don't need. Programming the stereo is one thing, as is charging the AC or filling the window washer resivoir. Punching holes in my sheet metal for their advertising, and adding 50 lbs. of unneeded rustproofing is something else. And my car will not be cleaned with their materials, or in their (cringe) car wash, or they will be ordering me a new one, and keeping mine for the sales floor.

Liability is no excuse for taking advantage of a customer with unneeded extra "treatments" (i.e. Scotchguard). Safety check, yes. Programming required things, yes. Peeling off the wrapping paper and detailing the car or trying to sell me extra stuff, no...
:D

 

I do not plan on modding right off. At least not anything that voids the warranty. This holds true on any car, especially on the first year of a new model.

 

I plan on modding it, but there will probably be very little mods the first year so most of cars will be stock the first year unless you get a new set of wheels.
