New z damaged from dealer help!

Talk to the manager and demand they fix the damage. You would be hard pressed to get a new car unless there is sagnificant damage that cannot be fixed.

Hard lesson to learn, but go over any prospective car purchase with a comb next time. You have too. But small stuff like the scrapped front flaps and lip are expected if the car has been driven (especially 500 miles) so don't expect that to get fixed. But anything from a collision needs to be fixed.

My car had 300 miles on it and I had some scrapped lips and flaps. I was not happy about it but decided the car can not be perfect since it was apparently driven several times.

These are all good reply's.

I did speak with my lawyer early today and he advisd me of the nys lemon law rights which are pretty informative. I don't have the link but go to nys attorny general website and search lemon law consumer rights.

It says the dealer should fix any thing that is damaged on a new car free of charge. It also states that if the car is in the shop more then 3 times for the same problem then the car is consider a lemon and either a full refund or a comparble car should be isued.

This will be the 2nd time and the car has already been in the shop for 2 weeks.

I am not trying to screw anybody over or get something for nothing. I am trying to protect myself and my purchase.

The car still has the rotational off balance noise at 60 mph.

I am taking the car to the dealer today and we are going to look at it on the lift and see what to do about resolving this.
