Anyways so heres some bullshit right here...
Cliff notes: Dealership screwed me on the 3m tape, told them i want the whole front end done or gimme my truck back, or ill get lawyer.
Ok so when me and the gf were making the deal with the dealership, we said we wanted 3m tape. They asked where on the car, i said the whole front end....that was the end of that. The next day i went in to sign the papers and Kelly (finance manager) told me the 3m tape only covers the whole hood...i was rather pissed because it was costing $600 but whatever, i accepted for some stupid reason.
So i picked the car up yesterday and only about 1/4 of the hood was done. So on my way to the dealership to find out wtf this shit was, i stopped at a place that does window tinting and 3m taping (brought my Cobalt, 370z and the truck there...awesome work for good price). Asked how much it would cost to tint all 7 windows and it was $255...pretty good. So i asked him how much they charge for the strip the dealership put on my hood....he said $100. Not only 500 less but they go another 2-3 inches up the hood then where the dealership stopped at. So i asked how much it costs to do the full front bumper, half of the hood, fenders and mirrors...$490 and he said "they are using some fucked up shit, ours is alot more glossy looking..alot more shine on it"
So i went to the dealership, told the sales manager and the finance manager the issue. They said that where they left off on the hood is there version of the "whole hood" because of the 2 vents on the evo's hood. So i explained to them that i was under the impression that the 3m tape protection was suppose to cover the bumper, hood, fender and mirros....any other dealership does that..even the nissan dealership i got my 370z from and for the $600 as well.
So they said they cant do the bumper and all that cuz it costs to much. First they said "well if we take your hood off and do 100% of the hood, will you be happy" i said "no, because the initial deal was for the whole front end...then you told me only the whole hood...but you guys only did 1/4 of the hood, i want the whole front end done"
So they talked and said "how about we give you full paint protection and undercoat for free"....i said no, i want the front end done.
So they got the GM to come down...told him Nissan and the tint shop do it for a fuck of alot cheaper...he called nissan and couldnt get a hold of anyone (he only let the phone ring once since i could hear it). He then said "i dont care what they do at the tint shop...so stop bringing them up"
So he kept going on about the cost of the tape, i then said "i dont care what it costs you guys...its $43,000 coming out of my pocket, i want my car protected and i want the deal i asked and paid for"
Once again he through the paint and undercoat at me, i said no...i asked how much does it cost normally to do that...would have cost me $2000 to get that. I said why not use that $2000 value towards my 3m tape? He said no cuz its not what they cost, the paint and undercoat only costs them $70-90....so i was like "wtf! only costs you $90 and you want to charge $2000!!!!....if it costs normally $3000 like you said to do what i want to my car, how much does it cost you?" he said "parts and labour...$300" I fucking lost it then. But then he came back and said "wow, hold up...we were nice enough to give you the car early, even though you havent put your down payment down" I said "fine, take the car"....he asked for the keys....i said "here...heres the keys, i want the keys to my truck back" he said "doesnt work like that" and he stormed off.
So Kelly was about to go after him and i told her "tell him that if i dont get my 3m tape, ill be getting a lawyer" he came back and said "you can try and sue us, but you will loose" So i said "even if i loose, you guys still get a bad rep....its a loose/loose situation for you"
So Kelly came back about 10mins later and said "if you give us the car and we do the front bumper, fenders, hood and mirrors, and pick it up friday with your down payment...will that work for you" i said yes, thats what i want....so the deal was made. I asked for the deal in writting and me, kelly and the manager signed it. They gave me a Lancer GTS until friday.....
So....lets hope when i get the car back friday...its in perfect condition and what i want on it.
