YOU get a new car and they can make more money probably because they get another sale and all the GM holdbacks on the new one.
WORTH A TRY!!!!!! Lord knows you might come out way better and have a cherry car with no damage!
(Let me know if you like the idea!!)

Seems like a good theory, but considering how much dealers lowball you on clean cars, I can only imagine a car that needs a month's worth of bodywork and a repaint is gonna go over like a fart in church. Theres no way this would work out.
