Bunjy Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Go figure, hubby and I go to look at new cars on lot and found the perfect vehicle on lot with only 5 miles, We purchase it and tell the salesman NOT TO WASH THE CAR. Next day we rush to the dealer to pick up our new ride only to find the salesman wiping down the car with a towel to dry it off from the rain. Needless to say anything dirt on that vehicle was rubbed into the clear coat! My face was full of disappointment and needless to say I told him to keep the car. You would think they would get it, do not wash probably because customer doesn't want scratches on clear coat DAH! My tour to the wash bay frightened me as I saw the towels they used and rusty metal detail carts with towels draped over them ready for the next victim! How can they even think anyone wouldn't be appalled if they only knew! Kat, 378 Pete, Timmy8784 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingsford Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 (edited) Sound like a scene from a horror movie! Lol Sounds like a typical dealership. My truck had 33 miles on it and sat in a show room when I bought it... Looked like crap under the right light. Spent about 5 days fixing whatever it is that they did.

SYMAWD Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I guess I work at an atypical dealership. Also, a lot of cars come pretty swirled out from the factory. The dealer isn't always the one doing the damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunjy Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Then they look at you and say, "I was just trying to do you a favor."... NOT! (Or maybe he did --we cancelled the sale and kept our $30,000.00)! We bought our challenger from these bozos a few years ago and worked ourselves to the bone to get all the scratches buffed out. Sounds like some of you are feeling my pain from similar experiences! Thank goodness for Adams products and instructional videos. My heros! How about a Adams sticker that says " Adams polishes my cars first responder" or a take off of the "One Adam 12 " TV series for a Adams spoof!

Bunjy Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 I Agee Matt, some do come damaged from the factory. What happened in taking some pride in the work that is done right from the build to delivery. Wonder if Porsche or Mercedes have these issues?

What happened in taking some pride in the work that is done right from the build to delivery. Wonder if Porsche or Mercedes have these issues? Since you mentioned it, yes. I took all of the pictures below immediately after the transportation wrap was removed. Where I work, each new car gets a hand wash, clay, polish, and wax once it's sold, so atypical I guess compared to most dealers.

All cars do to a certain degree and actually Ferrari has some of the worst factory defects of the premium brands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garsnow Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 Thats a bummer, but shouldnt be a deal breaker. Thats why you're on the forum and Adam's is here to help. I agree with Buddy, I've seen Ferrari's that I couldn't believe left the factory in the state they were in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will! Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I can't say that I blame you in the least for telling them to keep the car. I know I would have when we bought out Accord. I very specifically told them not to wash it or no deal. Surprisingly they obliged... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunjy Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 Yeh, you are probably right, I may reconsider if they add some sugar to make things right and want to keep my future business . I've spent plenty of money with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunjy Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 William I sure learned one thing when you tell a dealer you don't want the vehicle washed ya better say or wiped down. In other words don't mess with the exterior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
