Did you tell them about it when you received the car or did you take delivery and then notice it. This will make a big difference in my opinion.

Then I think you stand a much better chance of them fixing it for you with no hassle. Still, did you tell them about it before delivery or after?

How could they fix it? If it is a scratch on the body, maybe they can just paint it. But if it is on the head light do you think they will replace the front cover? Thanks.

By the way I have not accepted that car yet.

My sister bought a new Ford Contour and at delivery she found a spot on the car where they left bird $hit for too long on the lot and it ate into the paint. After 2 weeks they decided that they couldn't fix it and took her car back and gave her a new one. That was FORD!!!!

Let us know what happens.
That car sit in the dealers place for 2 weeks or it is in your sister's hand for 2 weeks?
