Here is the checklist I had for my Avant:

ITs a good guide, but you may p**s them off if you really want to check everything. It was worth it though, because I found a slight scratch I wouldnt otherwise (which polished out), They hadnt debadged it, and there was a big gouge in the button on the handbrake.

It is soooo much easier to prove you didnt casue a problem if you find it while still on the forecourt.

Welcome Spiral! beerchug.gif

Another 1.8T cabrio driver, nice one! ECLIPSe.gif

I'm afraid my hand-over wasn't quite as well regulated, I hopped from foot to foot impatiently whilst the sales guy went through everything, then I hastely signed anything pushed in front of me, grabbed the keys, dropped the hood and roared off! cool.gif

Look forward to seeing some pics of the new beast. I very nearly went for black, but they had a Moro Blue TT in the showroom when I ordered and it was stunning so I went for that and am very pleased with it.

What spec did you go for?

Good luck with it, let us know how you get on! beerchug.gif

Excellent! You seem to have all the best bits (although no Bose I notice, unless it's part of a package).

I bet you're out in the car right now, lucky chap. ECLIPSe.gif

Hope you're enjoying it as much as I did mine when I got it (and still am!)
