Dealer possibly crashed my car!!

vipor · 12-28-2009, 04:20 PM

if it really is that same car they're probably band-aiding it first

nogoodname · 12-28-2009, 04:21 PM

if the damage cost isnt too much, they dont have to tell you

i don't like that kind of talk sir.

i was waiting for my car in make-ready the night i was picking it up and was just looking at this maxima i was standing near. the rain channels on the roof were all effed up and there was a lot of random hazy spots in the paint. turns out it was a car they had trucked in from another dealer. was not supposed to be wrecked/repaired/repaired poorly. lucky for whoever ordered it i was bored and saw some obvious issues.

guess they'll do whatever they can get away with.

They don't have to disclose any damage if it's under $3000.

that's the fact

one guy bought a G37 at MSRP... A year later, someone scuffed his bumper... so, to the body shop the G goes only to find a pickle... they looked at the scuff and stuff.. pulled out the paint thickness machine and realized half the G is factory paint and the other half isnt.... straight down the middle.... Dealer denied what was found

Where were these pictures taken?

V8KILR · 12-28-2009, 09:45 PM

Do you mean which city? Road? Country?

They were taken on the road less than a block away from the dealership in Ottawa. I guess the clown decided to tromp on it pulling out of the lot and turned it around putting it in the snow.

Your friend should have taken down the VIN # so that YOU could verify if this was indeed your car.

V8KILR · 12-30-2009, 05:48 PM

It's all sorted out now. The car that was ditched was a second car so mine is sitting at the dealer waiting for me to take delivery. I'll pick it up sometime next week maybe.
There was almost 10 grand worth of damage on the other one. 2 wheels and tires, some suspension parts, front rad support and body damage of course.

Hey V8KILR. I just saw this thread. I'm from Ottawa too and just bought a 370Z from the same dealer (6M Carbon Silver, Sport + Nav, picking it up in the spring). I'm guessing the car in the ditch was the owner's car? He's been driving one around hasn't he? If I had seen that and thought it might be mine, I might have thrown up a little bit. Glad it turned out fine for you.

How are you 100% sure that is not the car you are buying?

Hey, sorry for the late reply.
The owner drives a base model 2009 that he had last year. That's the one I test drove last July.
The one that was ditched was intended for me but they were lucky (or perhaps I was) that they received two identical cars at the same time. I physically inspected the damaged one and the tech certainly did a number on it. Close to $10,000 in damage. Two wheels and tires, a couple of rear suspension parts, body damage and even the front rad support to name a few. I was told that they were going to fix it and send it to auction.
