It has been an exhausting day. But Chey is home.

We did hit a couple of road bumps with the physical car itself:

Papers were signed, everyone was happy, we walk out to get the car and there is some shmootz on the rear bumper. I saw it there on Thursday but was told it would be taken care of. It wasn’t. So back to the garage it goes. They could not fix it to absolute perfection but at the same time it’s not the kind of mark that will create any future problems. For the shmootz I got the mud flaps I wanted, my first oil change is free and they gave us the tube of touch up paint that is my car’s factory color. That’s a nice bonus too because there will be plenty more shmootz’s to come.

Everyone was happy, and this time we actually get in the car to drive away and there is a coffee stain on the inside of the driver’s side door. So back to the garage it goes. The coffee stain came out with some heavy duty cleanser. No problem.

Everyone was happy, but getting tired, and we actually drive away but before I get out of the parking lot I see a scratch on the trim between the front windshield and driver’s side door window. So back to the garage it goes. Some manager type guy comes to me and says (kind of snotty) that they are just going to get me a new car, that I keep finding scratches and every car has scratches. I said if it can be taken care of I will drive away in this car. An unscratched replacement part was ordered.

I finally drive away. Far, far away.

In the end I was able to negotiate both the car price and trade amount I wanted. And for a smaller monthly payment I have a brand new, two door, five speed, higher optioned, sexy car with mud flaps and an extended bumper to bumper warranty with accidental wheel damage coverage. Hey, alloy wheels are expensive!
