having never bought a new car I was wondering if there was anything i should be checking/looking for when collecting my car. Would be great full if anyone has any tips or guidance for me
thanks

Make sure the car has all the options you asked for, then just check it over like you would any car... paint, body etc. Ask the salesman if he will give you some time alone to do this without any pressure, he should do
Above all, enjoy the experience... and good luck with your new 500

Few good tips on this thread
