They take it out for PDI? I thought they just pulled whatever wrapping they had on it off, quick wash, and out on the lot.
Well they do here...back when I was turning spanners for a living, we had tick and flick sheets for each part of the PDI, including the road test. It wasn't unusual to find, for example, an off centre steering wheel, or a vibration requiring a wheel balance, etc. Better to have that stuff rectified before the customer collects their new vehicle. And of course, no road test was complete without some WOT, redlinin' action!
