Prior to Shipping.
Before the motor vehicle ships out your representative will discuss vehicle preparation with you. In most instances the car will need to be cleaned inside and out.

Fuel levels should be at around a quarter tank of gas and you will want to make sure that other fluids such as antifreeze, water, oil, and other fluids are filled correctly.
