New car pre-delivery checklist

Listed below are the points you must check before accepting delivery of a new car.

1. Accept delivery of the car only during daylight hours so that you can inspect it properly. NEVER accept final delivery of a car at night or while the car is not clean (a new car should always be delivered sparkling clean).

2. Ask If the car has ever been repaired (even a minor repair). Some dealers will only tell you if you ask.

After I did just that It seems to be saving new bookmarks and retaining them after restart but it will take some time to trust it again.
