I read that article, dealership is silly for not giving the customer a new ZL1 . I would also be pissed if they wanted to give me a used car with mileage not knowing if that car with 10000 miles was abused.

And in worse condition than his first one. The thing that bugs me is that he sold two cars that I'm sure he loved for that on. He is still making payments on that new zl1 and can't even drive it. Gm should have just shelled out the money bought him a car the way he wanted it. And it would have kept everyone happy and in the car world would have boosted gms image

id have a new car out of them. trust me. that service guy, in jail too, and he'd be paying for it, or 1/2 of it if the dealer picked up the other 1/2 for hiring a that guy who stole the car.

then if i dodnt get made whole again by the legal way, i'd tow the car to the dealership front lot with a huge ass sign telling what the dealer did. and park there all day every day till i got my new car. whos gonna buy or service a car at a dealership who steals cars, crashes them, and wont pony up?

That is total BS. I would not be so forgiving to those crooks

It just makes me irate

I have always hated dealerships, this is just icing on the cake.

The thing is tho not all dealerships are douches I have been to good and bad. But like this is just giving all dealerships bad names

How is that not basically theft from the guy at the dealership? Its not like it was an alignment and the car needed to be driven to if its good. I hope that guy gets fired and both the dealership and guy to wrecked the car both get shafted for large amounts of money.

did you read that link all the way, hes fired, and got arrested. that still dont let the dealrer off the hook, their employee stole the car while in their care. dealer is fully liable in my book.

they should give the dealer the ins pay out, then get a brand new year car with no balance or further cost to the cars owner.

This type of stuff is easily handled if you remove all emotion from the equation! First off, no payments, second, hire a lawyer. Third, sue the General manager for defamation as he accused the car owners as being just as bad as the employee who stole the car. The lawsuit will include the dealership and name the employees as well, including the fired employee! Then I'd find another dealer to rent me the same car, those cost's along with legal fees would be included in the lawsuit! Then I'd pay for a full page add locally, hit twitter, FB and also make some calls to corporate. The Corporate calls will get a lot of mileage, they don't like negative press!

This story is all over the place it was on yahoo last time I checked the dealer really should give him what he wants. He's not asking for something out of reach he just wants a car that's he's completely happy with. Offering him a previous two owner car that was also wrecked and needed tires at 13k is far from fair. They're going to end up losing a bunch of business because of this and should of resolved it from the get go. Last time I checked I read through page 35 or so and I don't see anywhere where they arrested the ex employee.

Dealerships and insurance companys are both crooks, the dealership should have to pay for his car in full.

This sort of story makes me embarrassed to work at a GM Dealership. I would likely quit if one of our guys stole a car and wrecked it and the shop didn't pony up and do the right thing. We have a ZL1 on the show-room floor and I know what they sell for, so this is insanity. As a GM Employee, I agree they need to do the right thing, put the guy back into a new car and push it to the insurance company.

I know they have good insurance, I was covered to drive anything that was on the premises, owned by the dealership or not, so as long as he WAS employed by the shop at the time of the wreck, it should fall to the insurance company to pay it. So the dealership should have been good enough to the customer who bought a $60k+ car brand new and put them back into another one and put it to the insurance company to take care of it as they are paid to do.

I would sue them for sure that is some bs. I really hope they get what they deserve a new car.

I say every car lover in Delaware should show up once a week and protest this dealer let his salesman show you every car on the lot then when it looks like you are ready to make a deal whip out this article and say "No thanks you can't be trusted" just before you sign. . .yes I have a dark side
