Update: So I'm back home, without the truck. They found it, in their KIA garage. We moved on to the inspection:
1. Checklist of Options
- Everything there. I don't know how to verify if the Anti-spin Differential is there, but I assume it is. If anyone knows how to test its presence, please let me know.
2. Exterior
- The paint had some lines where water dripped and dried, but overall pretty good. There was a small little ding/scratch in the paint where the cab meets the box ( just behind the driver's-side back-seat corner of the bed (I'll upload pictures ) which I pointed out to the sales guy I called over. There was a small white blemish on the matte black frame between the front/back passenger-side windows (will upload) and what looked like a scratch on the sunroof glass (picture) - I did a spit'n'wipe with my finger to see if I could erase it and the line didn't disappear. Perhaps it will require a better cleaner, or maybe it's scratched. I pointed it out.
The salesman helping me said that they'd wash it up, "Aaaaayyy.....don't worry, brother, we can take care of this, make it look good as new" (I would hope so...it is).
3. Interior
- Everything checked out, with just a small smudge on the leather which looks like it will rub out in their cleaning. Very minor, doesn't look permanent.
4. Test Drive
- We sat in the cab and tested out the heated/cooled seats, heated steering-wheel, verified the sound system was the correct one, tank full, tried out the remote start, windshield looked fine, back-camera worked, I had my sensors in the front/back bumpers, etc. So far, so good.
Then came the test-drive....and I had to leave. Couldn't do it as I have to pick up my daughter at the bus stop ... here, they won't let a kindergartner off the bus unless a parent is there. Too much time was spent waiting for them to find the truck. Also, the business manager was expecting me to actually purchase it another day ( just thought I was coming in for the chat ) so there was no license plates prepped, etc. I figure I'll call tomorrow and book for Friday inspection & pick up if I can swing it.
Anyways, that's the current status: Thoughts on the smudges and lines? Fixable by a cleaning a polish by them?
Thanks again,
Yak
