things to check before i hand over the check
 
ok, i am buying a 2001 ml430, bought it off ebay (yeah, i know). here is the actual car: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...RK%3AMEWN%3AIT . its covered with the genway warranty for the next 1.5 years or 100k, and covers pretty much everything in the car. it was serviced at MB of Chicago, and the carfax checks out.

now what should i check when i go see the car and drive it? ive made this list, anything else i should consider?

check VIN to match carfax
paint, rust
car body, bumpers, unders
open all doors, hood, trunk
engine
make sure both keys work
oil
check dash, lights, wipers, blinker, brights, no cracks in lights
test nav
test cd player, cd changer, speakers
look over leather, trunk, carpet
tires, rims, spare, tires same brand
windows, sunroof, glass, rear view mirrors
climate controls, heated seats
sit in all seats, fold seats down, power seats, memory, seat belts
wiring
security system
inside lights
make sure jack is there
gas cap
make sure all options are there

TEST DRIVE
start engine, listen
check drive and reverse
accellerate, break, both hard and soft, listen
turn both ways, test alliangment

make sure nav cds, 2 keys, manuals, MB of Chicago papers, GE warranty, title (clear), insurence, mats, document the owners driver's license info

then finally pay. any more advice?
