I'm sure there is a few TR's out there that the owner requested not to be prepped. I just don't quite know what is involved in dealer prep, so feel free to enlighten me, thanks.

Back in the 80's dealer prep consisted of after the vehicle was delivered to the dealership a mechanic would bring the car into the shop. Put it on a lift, pull the wheels and check brakes and then install hub caps or center hubs, install the fixed mast antenna, check all fluid and inspect for leaks, check all accesories to make sure they work and test drive the vehicle. Paid 1.2 hours. The guys loved them it was easy money. Also the dealer prep included pulling the interior protective plastic and cleaning the car for delivery.
I thought 'dealer prep' was the routine shhit they would have to do to a car to sell it anyway. Like washing and taking off the plastic from the seats and floorboard. Stuff like that. It's just a way to rip off the consumer.
The way you worded the question, did you find a brand new TR on a lot somewhere?!?
No, but I have seen two in the last two years that still had the plastic on the seats.
I think I saw Dealer prep on one of my cars listed for $180.00, I was ripped off.

With Turbo Regals I am sure there were some acceleration tests done as well.
This has never made sense to me.
I have a car battery for sale. If you want it, you have to pay me to go to the back to retrieve it, and then to lift it up on to the counter before you can have it.
Its not like I would do this anyway.
