[QUOTE=Hall of Fame;7329535]Well first of all, I have my cars insured for an agreed amount with my classic car insurance co. I did not say he wasn't entitled to get a replacement vehicle. I stated he is not entitled to any more than what his car was worth when the incident occurred .
Now I do have an issue on the way it was handled. The dealer gave him a loaner car while HIS insurance co, Geico was trying to get a solution. Then the OP decides to go to the media and blow this situation to his favor. Well that little episode backfired. Now the rub.. the owner KNEW this would happen because he has written books and knows of the confidentuality (SP) between clients. Owner wanted an upper hand for negotiations. Well that failed. The dealer got upset of the media exposure , in which I don't blame them. So the ball is in the owners hands. He can take the deal, negotiate another if the insurance co accepts or go to arbitration with HIS insurance co. Fighting your own insurance co. should get interesting. And if you are wondering who was buying the replacement vehicle... the insurance co. Not the dealership. I like their commercials ..
You do realize you sound like an idiot right? The original poster had no intentions to "get the upper hand". The poster simply posted an experience that was handled poorly. The dealership I bought my car from didn't catch major parts that where broken on it and I posted about it on here just explaining an experience. People do this everyday. The magnitude of tho situation gained enough attention and care do to the people on this forum posting and talking about it. Not the original poster. He has had very little to say. Someone whom wants attention would be on here with the rest of us combating and stating his two cents. He has rarely posted since. The situation is horrible and the dealership will be the ones to hurt. They screwed up. And you know damn well gm is doing something but it won't be going public to any of us anytime soon.
