Welcome to the world of Land Rover
You'll love it once you get it.
Generally check;
a) everything works - all lights, etc.
b) paint finish - should be fine
c) panel gaps, especially rear tailgate upper and how well doors shut, etc.
I am sure others will advise shortly!Sill protection - LED internal lights - LED reverse lights - boot liner - Dog Guard - Rock sliders

getting pretty excited.
i currently drive a c class and have a pathfinder for all the mucky stuff.
thought it might make sense to get one vehicle that can do both.

don't forget the servicing deal, just be aware you only get full amount if you do 10K miles a year or less, but still very worthwhile.Joined the BMWX5 45e group

Hopefully your shiny new Graphite will have been safely unloaded by now. What colour is sparkling in the sunlight?
