Unless of course, if you do some major service on that dealer which gonna takes 2+ hours.

I think they may give you a hard time if you did buy it some where else, but so far, not Infiniti South Bay. In fact, I told them I didn't buy it there and they said "Oh, no problem, we'll give you the 7500 tune-up free of charge". Well, maybe they just wanted me to start going there instead of Glendale?

All they needed to say was "I apologize for the inconvenience, but we are all out of Infiniti loaners today. But we'd be happy to take you to Hertz and have someone there help you get into a car while we work on yours."

Done. And I'm happy.

So, I called the Stealership on Saturday 02/03/06 at about 10:30 in the morning, since my car got the Service Engine Soon light (drove fine, don't know what is wrong with it) on Friday Night. So, they said they are all booked for Saturday (which I expected). I asked if I can drop off my car and have them look it on Monday, since I usually come home after the service dept. is close on weekdays. They said they have no loaners since they were booked for Saturday (makes sense, since they shouldn't have any loaners if they can't fix your car on the same day for being completely booked). So, I said thanks and will try and make it in on Monday before it closes and have a loaner available too. She said, "Well, what I can do is give you a call if I get a loaner coming back today so you can drop off you car". I said that's nice.

At about 4 pm on Saturday afternoon, they called and said they got a couple of loaners that were returned and I can drop off my car before 5 (since that is the time they close). I dropped off my car, and lo-and-behold, I got a loaner. Get this, it's an 07 Diamond Graphite with premium with only 1300 miles. Man, how I miss the nastolgia of the smell of new leather I said "Hey, let me make sure it has enough gas" and was plesantly surprised on the car (even had premium package on it). Kinda cool walking up to the car, having the keys in my pocket, and just pressing the little button on the doorhandle and it opens with a little *beep beep*. Also, pressing the start to start the car is kinda cool too (don't know if I would pay 2K for all this though). I would give you guys a detailed Impression of the car, but I'll leave it on another thread.

The service guy said he won't be back until tuesday so if that is ok for me to keep the loaner until then, I said Sure and that it'll give me time to try out the new car. He said "yeah, it's a nice car...have fun with it". Yes, it did have enough fuel for 4 days for me. The 07 has this "miles until empty" on the LCD screen and it had 80 miles til empty. So, that was fine.

To sum it up, it's all dependent on the dealer. This isn't Infiinti's fault if you don't get a loaner. Once again, Infiniti of South Bay came through. Although now, I'll have to wait to see what the SES is all about.
