Default Re: Picking up '05 Roadster next week -- anything to look for at dealer?

Sounds like the twin to my roadster, and she's been trouble free for 32k miles. Make sure they did the radiator TSB -- it was the only recall. Check all accessories, seat heaters, top operations (it's tricky - read the manual and pay attention to the divider in the trunk), rims for road rash, etc. Note that the 1st-2nd shift may be notchy. It should not pull to either side when driving on the highway or when braking. Make sure the air pump and sealer are in the well under the trunk -- there is a large, empty hole on the right normally. The pump and inflator are in two holes on the left.

Most importantly, enjoy it.
