I took my tls in to acura of memphis for service today and they gave me $50 dollars a day to get a rental. The problem is that all the cars are rented so i am stuck with a grand prix gt. It is slow and cheesy. It is all plastic inside. I can't wait to get my car back.

It's amazing how much you all b!tch about FREE LOANER CARS. Ya know they could just say F U and tell you to take the bus. Loaners are a dealers choice, not a requirement.
Be happy you got what you got. You could be walking.

Sucks the better rental cars were out, but that must be a great dealership. $50 a day is alot!!! Most insurance companies wont even give you that much towards a rental, and thats part of what you are paying them for.

I bought my car through acura of memphis. They are fantastic. They replaced my fog light that was hit by a rock i think and a chip in my paint that was also my fault and they did it under warranty. I cant even tell it was there. Also he took apart my door to fix a squeaky handle and fixed a squeak in the dash. And I do realize that 50 a day is alot. They are a great dealer and I don't deny this, I have never been treated better by a car company.

Wow, sounds like that's a good dealership! Maybe I should have bought my car there instead of at Little Rock.
BTW, I told my dealership about a big ass chip on my hood and they were like "hmm, you need to buy yourself some touch-up-paint. The lady at the parts department can help you out".

Happy Camper!
HMMM!! When I take my '91 Legend with 150,000 miles in for an oil change or minor repair Flatirons Acura of Boulder Colorado has always given me a loaner. I've gotten decent Intergas, a CL Type-S! and even got to request a TL to try out. Sure it was a 1999 with a few miles on it but I still got to play with it. The wife hated the seats. They were slippery and she complainted they hurt her back. I told the Type S had better ones. I guess need to keep Flatirons in mind when I go shopping for my new TL.

I share your pain!
My beloved TL-S got into a fight with a Ryder truck almost a month ago and finally the Jerk's insurance appraiser found some time to take a look at my baby and decide how much to pay up.
I got my rental yesterday ... (drum roll please) ....
a 2000 Chevy Impala !!!!
Click below if you want to take a look at this beauty. It is a behemoth that made my garage guy almost fall off his chair laughing when he saw me pull up in it!

The kicker is that this was the last car in Enterprise's lot, and the manager made like he was doing me a huge favor by giving it to me. Seems like an Impala is a double upgrade!!!
I guess the one good thing about it is that people on the highway think I'm an unmarked cop!!!
