1st Thing you do when you buy a new car..

[smiith]

As the title says.. When you go and buy a new car, what is the 1st thing you do when you get it home.. Clean it, check under the seats?

1st thing I do, is take the seats out, and give them a good clean, and the carpets underneath a good clean, and steal any money which was left.. Fit my CD player, and move my little bag of tools, jump leads and whatnot into the car, and remove the normal crappy wheel spanner.. Then try and hunt down a wheel the same as the car's for a spare..

[elkoi]

Give it a good clean! Inside & out :D

[blackie_2k5]

Take it for a "proper test drive"

:y:

[Prickle]

Give it a big clean.

[Jay_]

Thrash it.

[0rang3peel]

have a little drive if it's a nice day maybe a clean, fit in a decent headunit, hunt for faults

[Jizanthapus]

Drive it till I pass out.

[Jay_]

Drive it till I pass out.

sounds safe... ;)

[McGuire86]

Wouldn't buy it if it's not tip top clean. If the owner can't be fucked to proper clean it before selling then what does that say about how it's looked after..

[Moke]

Pay for it.

[DontHaveASaxo]

Take it to halfords for some bling. Pink dice, seat covers, steering wheel cover and a phone holder. Then get a big mac and what ever she wants.

[McGuire86]

Pay for it.

You don't pay for it till you get it home ? You must know alot of sellers that give out alot of trust.

[Prickle]

Then post it on Saxp and hope the kings like it..

[VTRelite]

I havent had enough cars to have any sort of 'thing' lol

[Yasuraka]

Stick my own cherry air freshner up

[Mochachino]

see wht i can get out of it on the M1

[Chris_]

Check the windscreen washers are working (I found that out when I got home after I bought the car and they didn't work^^)

[Dom]

Christen it.

[Gandi699]

Depends what the car is for, I drove the saxo home one morning and had it most of the old engine out by the afternoon

[CrouchyM]

Put my california scent in and go and thrash it.

[jones91]

Only ever bought 2 cars so dont really have a first thing I do, but test drive them to their full potential has been the first idea on my mind after buying both

Lol same as me exactly :y:

[12u55]

Read whats wrong with it on its local forum, then go and test it see if it lives up to it's name, like the airbags dont deploy when you crash - Saxo

[CrouchyM]

Yeah so if you buy a saxo you crash it to test the airbags work, just to be safe.

[12u55]

Yeah so if you buy a saxo you crash it to test the airbags work, just to be safe.
Well yeah, my last saxo i did crash it, a few times, mostly hitting a fox at 100mph on a runway, and actually totalling it.
No airbag either time...
There for, if im to crash again, i know that it's gonna hurt a fuck loads more cos saxo airbags rarely deploy

[stevo67]

Usually clean it,hoover it & buy a new set of car mats.Then wait for faults to appear as they always do.

Airbags generally hurt you more in the majority of crashes.. Then if you didn't Have one

They are only there for the small chance you end up in a very serious crash in which they may benefit you

I've been hit by an airbag.. It fucking hurts

I know several ppl who've had broken noses and serious facial burns from airbags... As well as someone who wrists were slit by the console on the wheel when one went off in a petrol station when he was holding the steering wheel

[potatopete]

First thing I do is check under the seats and in the door pockets for freebies!

[Aaron]

Put fuel in it as previous owner has probably left it on the light or under 1/4 tank

[dondan]

Check the alloys for cracks

[iVTR]

Check the alloys for cracks

Have a wank it in whilst thinking about saxperience,

any offers?

[Carl-h]

Over the first week or two I like to have a proper clean inside and move all my stuff from my old boot to the new cars boot (work shoes and stuff). Once the weathers good enough I'll have a proper detail. On the car I've just bought I've had in 2 weeks, a new battery, 4 new tyres, full geometry setup, 2 tanks of fuel and soon will be a full service (every fluid) then start on the corrosion and get that how I want it, then onto modifying.

[matt_vtr_15a]

First thing I did when I got my current car was fill it with petrol, picked up the girlfriend at that time and went for a drive...

I then convinced her to christen it and had to give the fucker a clean the next day as she got handprints on the back windows!!

Normally just go for a nice long drive, cars I buy are freshly valeted anyway so I just want to get out in it!

[Rogue_Shadow]

Take a photo of the mileage reading :y:

" Aww Remember when you first got your car, look how miles you've done " :A:

Then a good clean, followed by a damn long drive to show it off :D

[holdawayt]

I never thrash a new car until I've serviced it. Snapped cam belt and bent valves taught me not to!

I clean the car, check all the belts, stick it on a diagnostic machine, auto finnesse air freshner then service it.

[Jazz]

Take it for a "proper test drive"

:y:

This :y:

Slap in a tenner's V-power and take it for a proper burn to see how she really goes.

[Ryan]

I thought the first thing you did was add it to your sig and pretend everyone cares :zainy:

I'm disappointed in you! :P

Ah but that's the second thing.

I suppose the first thing you do when you buy a new car is get the spanner out and try to fix the fucker ;)

[JoeHindle]

Fit my stereo, and in the case of my last two, fit my VTS seats, and on my last Saxo fit the smoked jewels, stick a jerry can in the boot with some jump leads and take a picture of the mileage. Then go out in it all night for no reason what so ever...

[L33h]

Pay for it, then sign the logbook

What are you going to do when you get that 306 Dturbo? ;)

[DAMSK11]

I cleaned mine and started modifying it :homme:

[griff_106]

I got mine home, whacked £15 or so in the tank and then took her out for a drive. A bloody good clean came the next day :y:

[Jamie]

Usually, drive it.

Seriously though I usually take it for a drive it's always a saturday when I get a new car lol. Then I'll show my pals and then on the sunday I'll hit it with a mega clean because no ones clean is like mine unless I see evidence of previous owner being on DW ect.

I would expect a car to already be fairly clean or I wouldn't buy it. All my cars thus far have been mint examples.

On the monday I'll post up a thousand HQ pictures on OC/ here.

[vtrbob]

Regret it lol

[cyne]

Nothing. Both the cars I've bought have been put on my drive for me haha, I'm too lazy to even bother driving until I need to.

[Viper]

When I got the Datsun the first thing I did was drive the Fiesta :S

[admad]

I fill it to the brim reset mileage clock and go show it off/ go for a drive except when I bought the last saxo that time I regretted it and just parked it up used it for work and sold it 4 weeks later.
*awaits abuse*

[brianS]

Cry as I drive off thinking about the depreciation

[motocrossjord]

Tend to show my friends, and drive it. Like a normal person.

[deano_123]

sniff the drivers seat to ascertain how many farts its recieved

[frenchcarparts]

Christen it.

:clapping::clapping:

[0110craig]

Fill the boot with French essentials:
Jump leads
Socket set
Trolley jack
Jerry can
Tow bar
Duck tape
Tie wraps
..

Stick the Cali scents in clean it for about 4 hours then take it for a proper drive.

Then drive to halfords and stock up on ripspeed Yo!

[cloke]

Service it and fill it with petrol.

[jimmyboy]

I never tell anyone when I'm getting a new car so I can spend the next few days surprising people :D

But usual stuff..... stick in the dvd headunit and xbox, brim it, service it, clean it, then go and show off :)

[rob_s]

Have a wank init.....


I buy that many now and just drive whatever I'm selling if it's got tax the same sequence, get it over pit and check everything on it properly

Make a note of anything it needs

eBay to find the cheapest supplier

Valet it

Service it. (all of them now after one biting me on the arse that had supposedly not long been serviced before we got it)

Mot if it's got less than 3 months left (unless it's one iv taken in p/x)

Take pictures

eBay/auto trader and soon my website


I buy and sell cars... Lol

[Matty16v]

They're unlikely to get sex full stop, let alone when you've just bought a car :P trololol

[Stissy]

[matt_vtr_15a]

hahah jelly bean man!

I suppose it does look like a very small, toeless foot though..

[saladdodger]

Park it and leave it for 24hrs, check for leaks and fluid levels when cold.

[jasonmayall]

I drive home, hoping nothing goes wrong with it.
Clean it, Give it a once over, go for a drive, then probably clean it again!

[matt_vtr_15a]

Some of you worry too much, and I wouldn't buy a car I had that little faith in I had to check everything on it once it was in my possession or even give it a clean..

You bought it to enjoy it, give it some hammer...

[iw_laurence]

I press every button, adjust the fuck out of the seat to get the perfect seating position then go for a drive :)

[sam_16v]

on route home find out its top speed ;) then fit sound system

[saladdodger]

One thing I do is to 'save' giving it the beans and build up to it so I have something to look forward to for the first few drives lol.

Get the blood stains out the seat and dispose of the dead body in the boot.
