They better be prepared for a fight because there's no way I'm accepting damaged goods like that that I just paid 30k for.
Glad to hear that you're getting a new car. Just wondering what exactly exploded in your engine. All these horror stories make me think I'm driving a 2012 time bomb with RS package.

As far as the new car goes, they claim that they're working on finding one in the area right now, mind you this is after about 10 phone calls to every available manager I could talk to. They said they'd hopefully be able to secure one this weekend and have it available on monday but I'm not confident in anything that they do there so it may be a little while.

I highly recommend anyone looking to buy a new car to avoid this place at all costs. The entire staff there is completely incompetent! I kid you not, between the process of me test driving the car and signing the paperwork, literally about a 10 minute time span, the salesman LOST my registration to my trade-in car, which I had given to him in an envelope also containing my title and such, and then tried to say that we never brought it in and that we were stupid for leaving it at home..

I feel like I'm about as calm and patient as they come, but I was honestly about to blow a gasket in that place. I was just waiting for Ashton Kutcher to jump out from behind a door....

Should of gone with McCluskey IMHO
