My new TL-S was in the body shop this week to get the rear bumper replaced due to a small area where the paint was not finished. So today the body shop guy calls and says "Well we got your back bumper replaced, but a dump truck backed into the front of your car and it now needs a new grill and front bumper." He assured me it's just a scrape and that he has pictures. What do you think? I don't feel like it's a new car any more. Should I request a new one, or some kind of compensation?

 

How old is the TLS? If I was you I get a new one

 

It is not even 3 weeks old.

 

The bodyshop should pay for the cost of the repair that the dumptruck did. That's ridiculous. Sorry to hear it man.

 

Oh, trust me. They're paying. I'm at least gonna request a nose mask and some oil changes too. What other accessories would be nice?

 

I think you should request a new one. If they can't do that than ask them to give you nose mask and put a body kit on it.

 

def try and get a new one nothing that happened 2 the car thus far is ur fault and none of this was even done on the road the reason y u brought it in in the first place was a factory mess up and now a dump truck hit it on sight of the body shop again it is acuras problem and they may agree to give u a new car but they may throw some bs ur way like u have 2 put out more money if thats the case than settle only on a body kit and other stuff beleive u me they will tell ya if they give u a new car its a big loss for them but it's not they fix ur car and sell it as a demo for a little less than u payed so either way they will come out on the positive side w money believe me acura didnt become one of the biggest car sellers by losin money there a many tricks of the trade.........Dont settle until u get what u want.....Peace

 

I think you should ask for a new car. I believe that if u complain to the right people you will be able to get it because the car isn't even 3 weeks old. The story is outrageous. How long have you driven it?

 

request a new car.



@cUr@-TL

 

yea request a new car or threaten them with a lawyer!!

 

NO WAY would you get a new one (not without putting some serious $$$ on the table). But hey, I "guess" it wouldnt hurt to ask, but I would personally save myself from the embarrassment.

 

Yeah, you can ask them about getting new car, but I am sure they'll :lol2:.

Just have them replace the part that is damaged.

 

Ask the responsible party to buy yours and a new replacement. That's BS, a 3 week old needs paint job and body work. Take whatever actions at all cost, or you'll regret later.

 

I got it back. They said they'd fill up the gas tank but when I got there it wasn't even filled up. Screw em. It does look brand new with 2 new bumpers and a new grill. I'm still gonna call the sales man to try to get something out of it but there's no way I'd get a new car. It wasn't really their fault technically and the garbage truck company had to dish out 800 bucks to fix it.

 

all is fair that ends well

 

Ya Dont cheat Acura..

I mean if it wasn't there fault in the first place, Ya the back bumper was factory related but the front was someone elses fault..

Anyways if you get a Bodykit out of it, It is good!
