I just had a few questions as to the condition of your car when you picked it up. I went to the dealer and the car (a 2003 coupe 6mt navi aero) had some issues. It drove beautifully...as it should. But the exterior conditon concerned me. The rims were all scuffed. The rear bumper had some scuff marks as if it hit something very lightly. And tehre wa sa scratch about 3 inches long on the trunk lid. I told him I would take it only if all of these issues were dealt with by tomorrow. What would you do????

 

well first id give them more than just overnight to do any body work...at least give them enough time to do it right.

 

he said he would swap bumpers w/ another g coupe. and rims too...i dont know what to think about it

 

So isn't that an overnight fix and what you asked for?

 

Yea it is, but you wouldnt be weary about what the car hit? There are no dents just really scuffs looking like it made contact with something. I am trying to aslk, am i being too crazy? I just feel like I should be getting what I am paying for here. Even thought its used its not cheap.

 

Your buying a used car, you get what you pay for, most cars are sold as is condition wise, he shouldnt even have to fix the bumper or rims so dont complain.

 

IMO you have every right as a consumer to be concerned with the condition of any vehicle you purchase, new or used.

Keep in mind that sometimes people don't park their vehicles very well and do the "parking by braille" technique. Also, considering what it takes to make a scratch on the trunk and a small mark on the bumper, that could have happened at the dealership. If you've never owned this car you don't know how easily the paint scratches, and you definitely have no idea as to how flimsy the bumpers are.

Next time you see a G at the dealership, simply and GENTLY push on the back bumper. It will flex rather easily.

My guess is that if you change the oil, transmission fluid, diffy fluid and check everything else out under the hood you'll probably be alright.

How many miles and what's the price?

 

24k miles and the price is 27,465.

 

If you think it's worth saving ~$7k for 24,000 miles of use then go for it. Just remember the warranty terms and even though you have 36,000 left there are only ~2 years left on that warranty.

You might try to negotiate in another 1 year extended warranty into that price and see if they'd be willing to do that. It never hurts to ask. If you had at least a 3/36,000 warranty that was bumper to bumper it might not be a bad deal...
