Got a POS loaner from dealer pt 2

Well first it was a filthy and smelly G sedan that was about to fall apart. Now I get a Ford 500 this car is weird to say the least but hey at least it's clean. This is the reason why I will never buy any kind of domestic car. Cheap is written all over this car and it drives like a boat on a wavey ocean. I want my car back NOW! Bitter party of one, AGAIN!

My dealership in Az started give out crappy loaners. Dented doors, paint peeled off of bumpers, torn leather, tint peeling off of car. Some of those cars look like they went through a fall out of some sort. New management changed that around real quick. I missed my car also. Hope you'll get yours back real soon.

It is the car that replaced the Taurus, but ford actually spells it out "Five-Hundred."

i can top that.

i bought my first g, an then blue over a year ago. i traded in a 1999 solara, that was in good confdition - but nothing like the feel of a new car. when i picked up the new ride, the dealer had accidentally put several dings in the car that needed to be fixed. i told the, about it and scheduled a time to get it fixed. so i show up a few weeks later - what do i get - my old trade in back! and i noticed a few g sedan loaners sitting there doing nothing at this time too!

gotta say, some infiniti dealers are on it. some suck. i think its certain folks at dealerships that give them a bad name. for instance, my second g was purchased a few months ago - obsidian black. i explicitly ask the salesman not to drill holes in the front bumper as i already purchased the stillen front license bracket. so what does he roll up with after personally taking the car to get the temporary plates - my new bumper holder drilled into my front bumper! arrggghhh! he even told me he forgot, but said i had to live with it as he couldnt turn back time. arrgghhh! i talked to the sales manager who agreed to swap it out, but he hasnt returned five of my calls...

i bet when its time to swap it out for a day i get a yugo or something next.

Blow the car up and throw it into reverse on the expressway. That'll get you a new loaner

I got an 04x sedan for a loaner this weekend..smells like crap..but it is fun driving the auto..different..does'nt feel like its the same car as my coupe at all..I did'nt think it would feel this different..thing has got some nutz tho..gets right up..glad I did'nt buy the auto..can't stand the constant downshifting it does in "d"..and i'm not wanting to drive it in manual shift mode cuz there ain't no clutch!..lol..glad i'm taking it back to the dealorship tomorrow..

Dealorship this time instead of stealorship because they actually cut me a deal on getting my stillen sways installed..

Well, here's my story. I'll leave out all the details but I'm still waiting for them to replace my seat as it is making that horrible creaking noise and they tried to fix it three times. After that, they said they will replace it (have to wait to see if they actually will do it). Anywho, they gave me an loaner and it was almost to E. So, I said I don't want a car almost to E. So, we checked 5 cars, all pretty close to E. I take an 04 with 25,000 miles on and I have to say, I am So glad I didn't get an 04. Man, does the interior look cheap, the brakes were horrible, and the gauges were backwards . I swear, those brakes just were too sensitive: you barely step on them and you feel like you are going to get whip-lashed. So, I took it anyways since it had at least 1/3 left in the tank. Well, after almost a week, they called and said my car is ready but lo-and-behold...the chair is still creaking. This is when they said they were going to replace it. I said I don't want this POS 04 loaner so they grabed an 06 with 7K miles on it (it still smelled like new leather) ,had the dealer stickers too and made them fill it up. So, almost 1 week at the dealer and they still haven't gotten the seat in. Still waiting...and waiting...
