Boca, you're right, almost - They delivered the car to me after they closed and only 1 sales guy was left and it was dark. My previous car was stolen so I did not have the luxury of driving around dealer to dealer to find a dealer that had what I wanted on the lot. Yes, I did call this dealer but they "sold" my car before I got there so they had to bring one up from the sister dealership 50 miles away and for some reason that took 5 hours, hence it was nighttime. Had it been sunny I would have refused, but what can I do? Of course I would prefer a perfect car as it should be, but other than writing a letter to the GM I'm not sure what I can do? Now that I've had the car for a week and put miles on it, I'm sure there's nothing I can do to return it? I asked a lawyer here in souther Cali but he said it needs to be a major mechanical defect to return the car easily, but some swirl marks might be hard... what can I do???

Actually, Bocatrip, check out my thread on meguiars forums just so I don't explain it again, but its also got pictures showing my dealer installed swirl marks.. if you or anybody else is interested...

WORD OF ADVICE!!!!!!!!!!esp. black

Wash your car before you bring it to the dealership, they will treat your car a lot better. Request that the service rep. ensure not to wash the vehicle.

Hmm i'm live in minnesota and i never had a problem with them washing the car.... they just take forever to do any damn service work. They've washed it twice, come out with some water spots, but i have black car and its a free wash, can't complain too much... haven't found any scratches yet, just found a bunch of spots where they missed the dirt.... just wash it yourself, at least you know its clean.
