Last week we picked up my wife's 2022 Accent. Because of the current supply issues we put a deposit on this car while it was in transit. What this allowed me to do was make some requests that I've previously never been able to buying cars right off the lot. This lead to my favorite pickup of a new car ever.
The car had everything left on it from transit. Well everything that could be left on for it to be driven to the PDI area anyway. The large white plastic over the hood, trunk and roof along with plastic on tons of stuff in the interior. Never washed of course. It was covered in dirt and mud. It also only had 8 miles on the odometer. This is the lowest I've ever had on a new car delivery. I think maybe 1 other time I have a car with 8 miles.
The salesman think you're nuts of course, I probably am. But this is the way to go for me. I got to peel all the plastic and see the fresh materials underneath. And be the first one to wash, vacuum and protect all the surfaces. Very satisfying. The car has been excellent the 200 miles we've driven it so far. I'll give a little review of it as we own it longer.
