I disagree with you on this. This was not a mistake. it was a delivertate attempt at free advertising at gthe expense of the new owner. These is NO EXCUSE for any dealer to make ANY modifictions to a new car until the owner has asked for it. The car is on loan to the dealer in most cases from the factory, but in this case that does not even apply as the car was ordered specifically for this customer.
I would not accept it. Ask them to locate another one with your build specifications and if they cannot contact GM Customer Service. They do have the ability to replace off the line for dealer mistakes. You might have to wait a couple weeks, but it should not take much longer than that. And I would ask to use another dealer for final delivery. No reason this crappy dealer should reap the benefits of the sale. |

Illinois is a front plate state..I'm a newly retired policeman( having lots of fun riding my Harley's and driving my newest GO FAST CAR) The dealership does not HAVE TO do anything in regards to drilling out that front bumper for a plate holder...my last KOOL Dodge B5 blue SRT8 was delivered NO holes..my 2012 Camaro also..(see Avatar).and so forth....tell that dealer to "BITE ME" and walk away OR ??? Have a great day. As with many things in life not all are ABSOLUTES

First off, sorry dude for that happening to the car you ordered. I personally would tell them you don't want the car now that they screwed up and I would find my car else where. My dealer broke our deal and I ended up having to do the same thing although mine wasn't for the license plate.

97SS, I've been trying to ignore your posts because all you want to do is argue with others about "The law" when your reference is not from a legal website. Anyone can post on ehow (http://www.ehow.com/how_4913937_beco...ng-writer.html) so I would say find a different source from a legal website or find the actual laws. My wife is also a LEO and our state does not make people have front license plates thank god! However, at worst it may be illegal for dealers to sell a car without a front license plate bracket for states that require it. However, it will not be illegal for the dealer to not install the bracket. It will be illegal for the car owner to not have it mounted on the front of the car for states that require it. Here is California law, as you can see a dealer only has to supply the means to mount the plate: Quote:

Here is the California Vehicle Code right off the DMV website: http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d05/vc11713_17.htm If you read it states "either of the following must occur" in which case I chose #2 Secondly you don't know who I am so don't insult me and presume I don't know my job. Next time do your research and get your facts straight before you tell people that its the law. Oh yeah, and no hard feeling you moron. Quote:
