  7. Re: Upcoming Project - Dealer Ruined Brand New Kia

    The customer closed the deal in the early evening so he didn't see the damage until the next day. They wash it, it looks shiny under the dealership lights and the next day you wake up to a horror.

    Re: Bueller.....Bueller.....

    No joke. In fact, I was reading up on the movie car yesterday. Turns out there were at least 3 of them, possibly 4. 3 were replicas built specifically for the movie and 1 was the real deal used for...

    I died a lot reading this thread. The OP went into this thinking he was doing the right thing for his vehicle. Gets the whole top to bottom package for the price of a mortgage payment and gets zero...

  25. Re: Audi A6 Delivered by Carmax..... Compound sling included.

    Thanks so much ! Yeah, I don't know how that car got out the door like that. No clue what Carmax policies are as far as detailing, but this one slipped through the cracks for sure.... or they did it...
