Ok so im looking around my car and for some reason i didnt notice a lil buldge from the front bumper in the wheel well area and its not flush like the otherside. So im like wtf how did i not notice this before so i take it to the dealer show them and since i work m-f day said bring back on sat. Then a light bulb pops in my head and i start looking/feeling underneath the front bumper and what do i find some curb rash

dumb owner before me must have hit a curb or something with it and im guessing that is what caused the buldge. So do u think the dealer will fix under warranty or look at and just say well u hit a curb but we can fix for XXX$$$?

So i warn everyone when buying used go over car with tooth and comb and dont let urself get too excited lol.

If you bought it used you're probably sh*t out of luck to be honest. But even if you bought it new and drove it off the lot and then came back they'd probably still tell you the same thing, oh well. Should of inspected it before delivery. But in the end, it just depends on the sales manager or GM of the dealership if they woke up on the wrong side of the bed or not...Good luck!

Out of luck man. They wont fix it for free, especially if its a used car.
I bought a front splitter spoiler on Ebay for $300. But it would cost me $180 to fix the damage and repaint it.
Still it would have costed $700 for a new one unpainted from the dealership, and another $250 to get it painted.
Things like this, you just weigh them out.

Got any pics of the damage? I'm having a hard time visualizing how bad it might be.

But yeah the dealer probably won't help you out with it. Sorry man.

Silverlsinva · 02-23-2012, 11:08 PM

ill try and post some pics tomarrow.

Pic of buldge.

Dr. Love · 02-24-2012, 07:26 PM

They won't fix that. They fix things under warranty, not damaged by accidents.

Dznts · 02-24-2012, 07:29 PM

i really dont see that being from a accident. i would definitely take it back to the dealer and show them. even if the previous owner hit something i dont see it causing that part to bow out.

Parag · 02-24-2012, 07:36 PM

you could fix that yourself, just take it apart a little, it will fall back in place, then put the clips back in.

Looks like the fender well is cracked also. I might be wrong though

caliguy · 02-24-2012, 08:37 PM

Looks like the facia, if dealer wont repair, undo couple screws from fender well, apply little heat to it see if it will pop back, or kinda apply presure see it goes back, but not alot of heat.
