It is a great starting point to convey some wishes and issues, I already doctored it up with some specifics I think are pertinent to my situation.
One question I have is.... how well did or do you think your dealer actually took this letter to heart and did all the things requested on it? Did you ask/request they sign off that they performed all enclosed on it?
I will certainly present it, but I'm not sure I can force him to follow it any more than his normal PDI......
When I took delivery the shop manager handed me a copy of the letter with each item initialed by him, all testing results stapled to it as well as their PDI report then my sales rep went through each gizmo setup item with me and initialed those.
The letter serves a few purposes:
1) puts dealer on notice that you know about PDI process and expect it to be followed with latest toolset used. It essentially just reinforces the PDI.
2) gives the new owner a checklist of items to remember when taking delivery so the excitement of delivery day doesn't overwhelm getting some essentials completed.
It is the composite result of many owners' reported problems and missteps by dealers. It was more important in the earlier days when dealers didn't have as much experience delivering these vehicles and the Jaguar knowledge base (e.g. Topix) and toolset used for PDI were not as extensive and refined as they are today. Also, for those newer to the forum, early on there were some systemic hiccups (bunk isolators, poor ATT SIM registration process, ICTP glitches, etc) that are history now and no longer included.
