This reminds me of when my wife bought her 2012 Audi Q5. I told the salesman NOT to have the guys wash it AND to leave the plastic on the seats. Well guess what.....they were in the process of washing it and the plastic was taken off the seats. I had to really scrub the seats because of the dirt/grease from techs driving the Q5 in to check everything out. The salesman asked apologized and if the vehicle wasn't so scarce, I would have asked my wife if she wanted to walk. But the whole buying experience from that dealership was one BIG F**K up.
To the OP.....I would go in and raise HELL! Maybe you bought on of those plate holders that slide underneath the front of the car? You would still have a plate, but it can be moved out of the way for shows. And as far as them making you pay the $1500....if it was me, I'd tell them to F**K off and see them in court!! You asked them not to install a front license plate and they did. As someone already pointed out......people don't care, but I think people aren't very smart too! Let us know what happens please. |

On the ZL1 our dealership received the tech performing the PDI was told specifically not to install the front plate. He did not install it.
Then I see the car wash guy installing it. Ugh I yelled at him but by then it was too late. He just thought he was doing the right thing because the tech forgot to install it. In other words you can ask the manager and service manager and even instruct the tech working on the car, but in the end you cannot control everything in the dealership environment that happens. Oh yea I was pissed and it was not even my car. As for your situation, I see it as three choices, 1) take it and live with it (unhappy but you will survive) 2) have the dealer make good on it (my guess is this is not very likely) 3) walk away and pay for refusing the car ( ouch $1,500) |

Ask the general manager if he's ever seen Marathon Man - where Szell forcibly drills out Babe's teeth. If he has, tell him that as you see it, your ZL1 is Dustin Hoffman's character, Babe, and the tech is Laurence Olivier's character, Szell, and that they have to make your ZL1 right. Best of luck.

You cannot order a bumper from GM painted unless it is a over-run blem part (only available at select "outlet-shop" dealers). They are not available at this time. So any cover bought will have to be painted by a shop.

[QUOTE=97SS;5362136]From what I was told by the dealerships, is that it is there responsibility to install the front license, since it is illegal to not run one. Basically, if its not installed and you get a ticket, you can throw it back onto to the dealership, since it was never install. QUOTE]
Nope. Its your car. Dealer has no obligations to put licence plate frame on. That is just dealer B.S.

I would walk away. Tell them they broke the contract by not holding up thier end of the deal. They did not supply a car as specified by you.
You have no obligation legally to pay them freight or anything else. In fact, You may have a case for damages caused as result of negligence on their part. I would order another one the way you want it if it were me.

This is not a true statement. I have had many dealers noy install the front at my request and it has not been installed. I have a good friend that told the dealer not install it and it was in the purchase and sale. The mount got installed and the dealer replaced the front bumper.

It's so infuriating is to give people simple, clear instructions. Then they totally disregard said instructions, or they are incompetent, or both.
Here in VA, we are required to have front plates on the car. But the dealer is not required to put them on. All three Chevy dealers I visited told me they never put front plates on ANY of their sports cars, and from waking the lots that was true, they don't. You even made it clear what you wanted, then they turn around and to the freaking opposite. I would want a whole knew front end popped onto the front. |

Did you accept sign and accept delivery on car? Tell them to keep it and wait for another. Wouldn't care if it took 6 months or more to get another.

We lived in Nevada with a front plate requirement but it is not required nor is dealer required to install bracket unless car comes from factory stock with such bracket/attachment hardware. "If the motor vehicle was not manufactured to include a bracket, device or other contrivance to display and secure a front license plate, and if the manufacturer of the motor vehicle provided no other means or method by which a front license plate may be displayed upon and secured to the motor vehicle: (a) One license plate must be attached to the motor vehicle in the rear; and (b) The other license plate may, at the option of the owner of the vehicle, be attached to the motor vehicle in the front."
