I kind of know what ya'll will say about that. Tell the dealer what I expect and make it part of the overall, out the door, negotiated price. Still I have to know if those expectations I've listed above are beyond what should be expected. In other words, how do I weight that in the equation?
Those are perfect expectations make sure fridge is running for at least 8 hours before inspecting and bring a thermometer. Then tell him you will not be paying until the unit passes YOUR PDI as you do not want the unit to sit for months. If you are upfront AND PUT it in the contract then the dealer should agree. IF NOT IN CONTRACT IT DOES NOT EXIST
