What should I check when my auction car gets delivered?
My car is arriving this week and I want to be thorough. What should I check at the moment of delivery versus during the 10-day inspection window afterward?

At delivery, do a quick walkaround for transport damage and note anything on the carrier's paperwork before signing. The detailed verification happens during the 10-day inspection window - match the car against the inspection report line by line, then get your own mechanic to check it. Document everything with photos.
Check the odometer against the listing right away - it's the easiest thing to verify and important for the paperwork.
