review and input requested--the checklist

[3Q Jay]

thanks Brian, Jesda, and Wes for responding to the previous thread with the helpful suggestions, but I wasn't clear enough.

So, I'm putting a draft in front of y'all for your thoughts on making the most comprehensive [but still relevant and concise] checklist to fill in during the actual inspection.

it's in excel.

i'm hoping with some collaboration, we can make the end-all inspection report.thanks for your constructive input

Under keys, I think for most models should be 1 master, two valets and one (wallet) emergency. Then there is the bible and a key fob and a folder to hold the owner's manual et al. I suppose especially with the later microchip ones, one should check for operation.

Remember, the old BBS t rims should have a special tool for the center caps. Some custom wheels require a special socket for the lugs, which can be a show stopper if not present.

Post G50 moonroofs have a shade, and some later models have a motorized backlight shade.

Headlight and all other bulbs should be checked for variation when on, and problem ones have their bulb fitment and sockets inspected. Foglights almost always damaged unless new or armored.

Check the CD players and (I suppose) cassette players and controls. Also antenna operation.

Cruise control operation, and the interior dimming switch for the rearview mirrors on the later models.

Listen to the fuel pump! Check the battery specification and age.

Don't forget the horn, mang!
