I just went to South Coast Acura again to fix a side panel that was coming off and the green light they forgot to reconnect when replacing my radio unit and those bastards wouldn't give me a loaner car anymore. What sucks is that I've received their loaner cars twice already and they didn't care about my age before. Instead, they sent me to the local hertz and now im driving around a 04 chevy impala around for the day. Has anyone else under 25 experienced this craziness? Shouldn't you be entitled to a loaner car no matter how old you are? I'm 22 but i still gotta get to work...... grrr......

Side comment on the impala:
i got the 04 with only 4000 miles on it. Haven't checked under the hood to see if it's the 3.6 or 3.8 engine. The impala's horrible! It's worse than my friend's hyundai xg! The car handles like a boat and the V6 I got feels slower than our I4! w00t w00t for tsx. MUCH better than an impala.

It depends on the dealer's insurance policy for their loaners. I ran into that problem the last time I took my car to my dealership...they sent me to Hertz also... So maybe they switched their policy.

yea, sometimes it's 23, sometimes 25, it all depends on the insurance plan that the dealership has.

Junkster, whose never got a loaner before

soopa

Junkster

That's what happens when some idiot under 25 wrecks a loaner and then ruins it for everyone afterwards.

taewlee

don't blame just the young idiots, what about the older idiots who wreck the car? if a 30yr woman wrecks a car, should acura ban 30 year olds from getting a loaner?!?! w00000t w0000t!

taewlee, try Tustin Acura, they gave me a loaner car with unlimited miles just have to stay within cali, heck they didnt even have me sign anything, just tossed me the key and i was gone. from what i've read on many posts, South Coast Acura has a lot of strict rules here and there

taewlee

but tustin acura is so far from my workplace at fashion island newport beach =(

My 25th birthday is coming up this month. I will have to take my car to dealer after that.
Where did you get your car at? I got mine at Pasadena.

Yeah its all about the insurance the dealer has.. They get better rates if the only give loaners to 25+, however most dealerships are 21+ these days.

If my dealer refused to give me a loaner I'd lose it on them! I'm old enough for them to take my money but I'm not old enough to recieve the same treatment as other owners??? I just want to see them try to pull that shit on me!

Don't go to Woodfield Acura...they're 25+...otherwise you'll get a hertz treatment..

rottencorpse

Hey why did you bring up the Hyundai XG? My cousin in Korea drives XG and he thinks it's the best luxury car in the world. I couldn't stop tease him about the car.

taewlee

It may just have been that they didn't have one of their loaners available at the time. I ran into the same problem with my local dealer a couple of times. They usually just contract out to the local Enterprise Rent-A-Car when they run out of loaners. Plus, I usually call in in advance to schedule a loaner if I know I'm gonna need one.

Fortunatly / unfortunatly at 29 i dont have to worry about that anymore..
