Make sure everything works, especially the mirrors (adjustment and folding) and steering column (up/down & retract/extend), before you take delivery of the car. Granted, the CPO warranty will fix those, but why be inconvenienced.

I still don't have the car as they need to take it through the certification process, detail it, etc. Once I get the car, I'll post some pictures.
Congrats! Im glad they negotiated a better deal for you. These cars are a joy to drive - but this thread isnt complete without PICS PICS PICS!!!
