The ball is in this guy's court. He might be able to bargain said vehicle off this dealership for a 10-20k discount perhaps if he still wants it. I would demand to see the vehicle straight away to determine if the damage is superficial or serious. I'd then also spend 20 minutes looking at the vehicle and offer them 15k less for it.

Why do you think most dealers also own a panel shop?4 panels is a lot of damage.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too am of the opinion that apprentices didn't work on FPV's, only the senior mechanics.I'm picking my car up from there tomorrow, after having it's 3000k service and some other items attended to. I hope mine wasn't the other F6 Bad luck about the car, I'm sure the owner can refuse to take delivery of it. I was told I didn't have to take delivery of the Velocity XR6T I ordered when it arrived in Winter White. As part of the delivery process you sign a document agreeing the car is in good order; I take it this is not the case thus the document shouldn't be signed. I'll ask my salesman exactly what happened when I pickup the F6 tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More likely, if the guy doesn't accept the car they'll fix it anyways and wheel it in the showroom as floorstock.He'll get the option of cancelling the contract, ordering another one or taking the current car.
