Can I have my own mechanic inspect the car after delivery?
I'm comfortable buying online, but I'd feel better having my own mechanic look the car over. Is that allowed during the post-delivery inspection period? How does that work with the 10-day window?

Yes, absolutely. The 10-day post-delivery inspection period is exactly for this. Take the car to your own mechanic and have them go through it. If they find something that doesn't match the report or description, contact your Sales Agent within the window with documentation.
I booked my mechanic in advance so I could get the car looked at the same week it arrived. Don't wait until day 9 - give yourself buffer in case anything needs follow-up.
