What to ask at delivery?

Since it looks like my Clubman is being built right now, I am wondering what I should be asking my MA when I pick the car up. What does everyone suggest? Is there any question that you wish you had asked but thought of after you took the car off the lot?

Have your sales dude program BOTH key fobs with your preferences.
Get the Manual now and start reading.
You'll love Comfort Access and push button start.
"Key, I don't need no stinking key."

Buy some new cleaning towels and micro rags($5) at Sprawl Mart.
The wheels attract brake dust.

Congrats.

That is great! Thanks- I know that I am going to be so excited when I get there that I will forget to ask some things that I will later regret. Dragon Wagon's advice about cleaning towels/microrags is great too! I have already been trying to figure out how I will get the emergency kit from my old Land Rover into the little compartment under the boot...

Lady Godiva,
My "stella blue" is almost here. How do you like your new Clubman? After all you've been driving for what...6 days?

LadyG is everything I had hoped for and more. I have never loved a car as much as my Clubbie. The 2 month wait seems so insignificant now that I am sitting behind the wheel. I'd wait 6 months or more!

You are in for a treat!!

Lady G... You know me if I had to wait 6 months I'd probably have to get admitted to THE institute! I'd be sitting in the corner talking to myself...

BTW, what types of freebies did you ask for? Any ideas would help me right about now.

Well I didn't say I'd be sane at the end of 6 months...



I asked for rubber floor mats, and anything else they could throw in. So, I also got an umbrella and 2 keychains.
