Default 2011 RX-350 pre-delivery checklist

I'm going to get my car. The car has been sitting in the lot for nearly 3 mons now and wanted to know what all the salesman would cover before handing over to me? Where can I find RX-350 pre-delivery checklist? Are there any specific points I need to consider asking about the car or instructions

Basically, the car has all except the luxury, tow, ML

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks!

Im a stickler for scratches. Chances are if its been there for 3 months, multiple people have sat on the driver seat to try it out. Wrinkles on the driver seat bolster, scratches on the inside of the door handles, scratches on the door sills and interior door (speaker) area.

The Pre Delivery checklist for the salesman to go over with the new owner was included in the delivery package of owner's manuals, etc. They should go over operation of all switches/functions that you are unfamiliar with.

I always take a new car out for a full test drive to make sure it is working correctly. Also make sure that there are no rattles or other noises. These can be tough problems to solve that will drive you crazy. Visually check the car over carefully. Check the number of miles on the car and make sure you are comfortable with that number.

These cars are complicated and they can't go over everything with you, so plan to go over the manuals at your own leisure. But they spent a couple of hours with my wife when they delivered her RX. Make sure things like the mats, cargo net, and valve caps are included as they often go missing during transport. Make sure the lug key is in it's place by the spare tire. Stop by the parts counter and pick up a touch up paint pen for those inevitable stone chips and nicks.

when we got ours, the paperwork took a long time so they showed us the basics and the next day, they did the full check list.

our dealer wanted us to do a service at 1600 kms to ensure everything was in order.

Got it today! Thank you all your replies
Mine spent about 90 mins going over the questions we had. He did not specifically carry any checklist that mean to adjust some settings or so. After getting the car, I drove on a quick trip to NJ (about 240 miles from here) up and down. The drive was excellent. The average miles/gallon the car is showing is around 20 miles (little Disappointed). Most of it is not high way. But, the drive and handling was excellent. I could feel little bit or noise esp. when the car was in cross-winds. But surprisingly silent most of the time.

One think I did not like is about the connectivity to iPhone. I'd some music in iPod but did not want to play. I was playing Pandora and the system would stop playing Pandora and automatically play iPod, which I did not understand. I'd to manual stop iPod songs from the audio unit to listen to Pandora.

Overall love the car. Will post the pics soon!!
