RIP 2012 ZL1 #1635 Pt. 2
To the person who began the "anyone find it a little unusual the OP only has 1 post and just joined? I hate to be skeptical, but to doubt is to learn...."
If you would look on the registry of the 2012 ZL1's, you would see my name listed there. This is an absolutely true story, and just because I am not a techie person and have not joined the social media bandwagon doesn't mean I can't bring a story to people's attention when I have been wronged. The story is absolutely true. At least from my end. I have my doubts about whether the dealer is telling the truth or not. As far as pictures go, if someone can tell me how to post them (they are on my wife's laptop, not at an http://) I will be happy to. By the way, the dealer is located in Georgetown, DE and is the only Chevy dealer in that town. The local paper (Cape Gazette) has been notified. I do not know if a story has been published yet or not--they only publish on Tuesdays and Fridays. PLEASE--if someone will tell me how to post photos, I will be happy to show you the before and a few afters... Thanks for all the support from this group even though I am reaching out for the first time. To the skeptics out there, I have absolutely nothing to hide. If any of you are into first generation Camaros, my name may be familiar. I wrote 6 books on first gens including: The 1969 Camaro Reference Book The 1967-68 Camaro Reference Book The 1967-1969 Camaro Recognition Guide John R. Hooper |

OP - You can post pics by clicking "Post Reply" (not quick reply) then select manage attachments. You may need to resize them depending on the acual size. It's actually easier to create a free account at photo bucket. You can bulk upload there, then insert the url here.

If this is a true story you should sue the shit out of that dealer and have the employee thrown in jail.

Now for more specifics: 1. The dealer refuses to give us the insurance information--not to me OR my insurance company. Just to make myself clear, the service writer for the dealership went into the building on a Sunday when it was closed and stole the keys to my car. This was NOT a test drive--it was a joy ride. When the police came, the SOB had the nerve to tell the cop that he (the service writer) was my best friend. AND THE COP BELIEVED HIM!!! Come on, folks. This isn't a Honda Accord we are talking about. Shouldn't the cop have been a little leery of that and called me to find out??? 2. I am sure I will have to get a lawyer, but that costs money that I just don't have right now. 3. I have notified Chevrolet Customer Care and got a "thanks for being a loyal customer, but we don't have any control over our franchises." 4. The insurance company finally "totaled" the car today. The original adjuster had to bring in his boss due to the nature of the situation. I didn't want to contact an attorney until I was sure they weren't going to try to fix the car. 5. I posted photos of the car on the dealer's Facebook page last night, but they took them down. 6. I don't have a Facebook page, but friends have been posting it to their pages. 7. My next step is to contact the local TV station. We live in a pretty small area, and word will get out quickly. To all of you believers, thanks. Your support means a lot to me. I suppose I shouldn't have asked "what would you do" but maybe just let everyone know what happened. Only a true lover of his car would understand what I am going through right now. Losing the car is bad enough--being mistreated by the dealer just adds another nail in the coffin. John |

Insurance companies are only interested in giving you market value. This is how it works in our system. We only get the depreciated value of the asset we lose. Its up to the dealer and/or GM to make this right. If they are pressured/embarrassed enough, they just might make things right.
Additionally, I would press charges on the guy who took it for a joy ride. Press full charges and stress that a paint job does not require a test drive.
