IF you have it in writing you are golden. If not, well, I hope for the best.

I hope they don't pull a bumper off another Z on the lot. I think there is a vin# attached to each bumper iirc. At least tell them to swap the vins.

We are talking about a car that will depreciate in value as soon as it left the parking lot, you don't need an extra hole to deal with.

Just for the record, the BBB does jack crap about stuff like this. The BBB is a joke dude and I work at a dealer so ask me how I know...

Wow. That's just not right! I don't understand what's up with dealers sometimes. They act like they did you a favour by selling you the car and you should settle for what you got. I would've gone ballistic if it was my car. That's why my car has yet to see a dealer for any servicing. I realize that I may eventually need to go to one if something crops up that is warranty related but besides that, I will be handling all maintenance items.

Back to your issue, I would not settle for anything less than a perfect car. Period. Even if the hole is not apparent unless you look underneath, I know it's there and it would drive me nuts, especially on a new car. If the dealer does not make it right (going to GM or Owner), I would contact Nissan directly. I once got excellent service after a call like that.

Like others have stated, I would expect a factory painted bumper and not a repaint. Let them take it off another new pearl white 370z. That's not your problem.

It depends upon personalities, where you service your car etc. I am not combative and it would not bother me so I would not pursue it. If I made a scene and got what I want, I might not feel good about taking my car for service there in the future. They could do a ton of damage.

If I intend to use the dealer and his services, why make it a huge deal?

TexasChuck · 12-24-2016, 09:33 AM

Good for you. I'm glad the dealership finally stepped up.

I had my bumper switched with another brand new PW 370z. I don't know what happens to the other car (since the bumper now has two holes). i sincerely hope that this dealership doesn't screw over other innocent guy
