wow...never saw that one coming

 

Do not expect the dealer to do a professional detailing job like the pros. Also shocking that you had them attempt to 'detail' your car 3 times. Is there any clear coat left on the car?

 

Anytime I buy a new car I follow this rule: wash, claybar, polish & seal the paint. Either I do it myself or have a pro set it up. I then do the maintenance myself. Anytime you take it to a car wash you will have the swirls. You need to factor in this step when budgeting your purchase. The dealer doesn't have the ability to fix a car that has been parked outside for 8 months. I have owned a few new cars in the past 10 years & just returned to Infiniti. I am hooked & the paint would not sway my decision.

 

Have fun with a Bimmer / Benz, you'll be going to the dealer with alot more problems than just swirl marks

 

Dealer is the last place i want to wash or wax my car...if i wasa buying a new car and they couldnt fix the issue either buy a differnet car or go to a different dealer even if its 100 miles away

 

Something to always remember. As a buyer, nothing is final until you sign the papers. Papers don't get signed until you've inspected/test driven the vehicle and accepted it. If something is amiss, papers don't get signed, deal is left hanging until car is prepped to your satisfaction. With a sale on the verge of completion, dealers will usually do what it takes to make it happen. NEVER ACCEPT ANY PROMISES THAT SOMETHING WILL BE DONE AFTER THE SALE. This is the more powerful leverage a buyer has.

 

So what did u do? U give the car back?
Looks like you already signed the purchase agreement

 

To bad ignorance isn't painful.

 

Agree with BB.....BuBye

 

You should've never driven the car off the lot until everything was to your standards.

When i test drove my wife's grand cherokee, the steering wheel vibrated when braking and accelerating. The salesman assured me that it was a simple fix and that since it was a new vehicle the problems would be covered by the warranty. He tried to get me to take it home and go back the following week to have it fixed. I laughed and said that I wasn't going to sign anything, let alone drive it home, until everything was fixed. They said no, I walked out...they called me back and agreed to fix the issues before any paperwork was completed.

 

^This.

It's the sales dept. that reemed you. You could very well buy from another dealer (good excuse for a road trip). If your local service dept. is good then there isn't any reason to dump Infiniti.

No it wasn't. Chips/scratches/dings in paint, on the lot for 8 months, and I'm sure it had more than 5 miles (8km) on the odo. Unless you were F'd in the B, no grease, this was figured into the purchase price.

(technically new, but...)

That's one way of looking at it.

1. Bought "new" car that didn't look new. Accepts dealers promise to make it appear new without any confirmation of "how".
2. Drops off at dealer to have "new" car made to look new without any confirmation of "how". Starts collection of "swirlies".
3. Takes back to dealer to complete "swirley" collection.

I'll stop you right there. I wouldn't buy a new car that had any issues, none what so ever.

Good question. Should have asked yourself that before signing those papers.

You're making an assumption maybe?

I took my car in to have the differential fluid changed (required at ~2k miles for cars with the LSD). I was told they were a little backed up (busy day) and it would take a little longer than expected. I got a croissant sandwich, danish, a caramel coffee, a 25% discount, and they offered me a loaner if I couldn't wait the extra hour (which I took because I had to go). I was a bit worried at first, fearing it may be taken for a "joy ride" (taking the loaner meant I wasn't picking it up that day). Only 1 mile added.

Just yesterday I took her in for service A. They "price matched" another dealer without question. I had a number of attractive girls (none hotter than my wife) swooning over me (offering me drinks, snacks, etc.) while I waited. I asked them not to wash my car and guess what... they didn't wash it (no Infiniti dealer has pulled that one off yet).

You got F'd by a dealer too?

Go easy on 'em next time. *grease*

I've had the same number of issues with BMW and MBZ as I've had with Nissan/Infiniti (0).




OP, get her detailed and call it a day.

 

what I want to know was what did IP spend $65k on? Was it an M or a QX? I know it was a G.

 

Yeah, talk about a $hitty deal! Even in Canada where we pay more for everything, this guy should have pad less. At least $10,000 less.

 

drama queen

 

Is that your first brand new car? it makes sense if the answer is yes.

I always put a side note that says do not wash the car after service..
