Wow ... Read the entire link and other stories within links.

Thanks for sharing.

Putting a small recorder in the car is genius! Especially if your going in for service.

Bastards!!

Cool thing they got caught!

Too funny!

Wow, don't let the dealer leave the lot with your car.

scionide · 10-08-2012, 10:31 PM

Wow now I'll be even more paranoid, time to get a camera lol

This is why I do not trust anyone with my car.

I would pretend to consider the offer from the sales manager to trade up for a newer Camaro SS. I would then mistakingly pop the clutch (pretend it was an accident) and drive the car through the showroom window (being sure that I strategically hit a few Corvettes and/or Camaros). Of course timing it perfectly so nobody inside the dealer/showroom gets hurt.

I would put on the biggest show with how it was a terrible accident and I was so sorry. I would them simply get inside my car and drive off.

This (so called accident) would be a huge inconvenience and loss of revenue due to the interruption of sales and construction costs. I understand that insurance would pay for most of this mess, however, the damage to the dealership and new vehicles would be enough satisfaction for me to walk away happy.

My actions described above wouldn't be very smart thing to do. But then again, that's where my mind goes when I'm really pissed.

Glad the owner caught these kind of guys !

Didn't feel like reading entire thread - whats the current status is anyone going to get into trouble for this? Hopefully the dealership takes action

I would chit a brick if they did this to my car. Thankfully, the only times I've gotten service done i was waiting at the dealership, meaning they couldn't of taken it on a test drive, i would have seen them because i have my eye on the entrance and exit.

FYI, some dealerships have back entrances from the pits purposely so that they don't have to drive past potential shoppers all the time. Best and only way to tell is to note the mileage before and after.

just saw this on yahoo a few min ago. what scumbags. i have a local nissan dealer here thats terrible. dunno if they would do this sorta thing but they won't ever have the chance to work on my car. i can't even get past the guy at the front desk without getting a bad taste in my mouth.
theres also another small local auto shop that has a rep for joyriding. very good mechanics but they also will not have my business.

im sure this happens everywhere... they have to take the car for a test to diagnose an issue.. i can imagine it's very tempting to be handed a set of keys to a sports car.
