[linuxworks]

how come they call it 'pro bono'?

if you aren't getting paid, isn't that more of an 'amateur' status?

Used car dealers must be the same all over the world, Always trying to pull little stunts like this. I would defiantly drive round and talk face to face with the guy. It is to easy to make excuses over the phone.

Congrats on the choice of car, I love the 350Z.

 

[cantsleep]

thanks for the inputs. i see that i should have had it checked before i actually drove it out. ehh, but again, it is too late for that..

anyways, it is a big dealer in south coast so i think they will somehow arrange a service. but the time it takes.. man..

What's wrong with a 350Z?

 

[krmathis]

How about paying them a personal visit instead of calling?
That often helps, meeting them in person.

 

[slypher]

Funny thing I just finishde reading a roar and track artical about 350 zs and thier long term reliability at the doctors ofice today. it sound like they suffer from many fit and finish problems to get them in at price piont. Most of the problems are well know and cover by factory warenty so hopfully you can get coverage.

 

[cantsleep]

going in tomoro to make an appointment, in person. apparently, they didnt set up anything for me yet.

I am not 100% precise in my response, but good enough for this situation. I am not saying you are wrong about oral > written doc ...it's just that in America we do things the American way

I agree to an extent, I should have said I was speaking from the perspective of someone who has studied/is studying Australian Law. Though I think you'll find the laws are very similiar, the oral part of the contract exist unless it contradicts the written contract in which case the written contract takes charge (put simply). (I'm aware it gets a lot more complicated then this, but basically 90% of the time the above is how it'll work out).

I am speaking from someone who has sold products in a biz in America...my attorney told me that I was governed by Article 2 of UCC and I am sure it said written > oral if oral was before or at the same time the K was written. And I had to make sure to get something in writing if I were selling more than I think $5000 worth of stuff.

went there 7 30am in the morning and just came back. it was so damn tough to get things done. actually, it hasn't resolved yet but they signed that they will fix small tear in top and the power mirror.

they werent willing to do anything but after i showed them the email conversation that i saved, he finally said ok, right before i was about to drive out of there.

and this was it:

i was thinking, just because im somewhat pissed. can i file a small claim for my old license plate frame and the remote key? and perhaps, even gas since he promised?

another thing is that they all have their sales license on the board but i didnt he his.

I am finishing what I started...
I always do...

It's not me that makes the decision on when they can schedule an appoinment for you to come in.
I told you that and you wouldn't listen.


I gave the service manager the request/due bill to schedule it, so if he's busy and can't schedule it right away.
Your going to have to deal with that, period.

It will be taken care of, you just have to be patient.
We're not going to screw you over.
Relax.

ME
i can just forget about you and you can just forget about me.
i know that. but i want YOU to finish what you started.

you can call me when you will.
i wont get upset at you.

after all, we'll have to see once or twice more, either we like it or not.

James,

We need to wait until Monday to call them to set up the appoinment. They're not open on weekends.

As for the top and side mirror, that will be taken care of as promised.

I can have them check the sockets too. Not sure what they'll do, but I will mention it to them.

Sorry about the gas, it was late and we must of forgot.
I'll take care of you when you come down for your appoinment.

I believe you will get a loaner, I'll have to check with the service department Monday.

ME
hi,

have you made an appointment?
when should i bring the car?
also, as for rental, do i get a free rental with insurance?
if not, maybe i can drive that accord again during the serice.

i made a quick list of the things that they can do for me.
1. right mirror not functioning
2. right sear mirror is cracked!(needs replacement)
3. hole in the cloth cover top
4. electronic sockets, both front and back, dont work
5. keys
6. this is probably check but transmission oil/engine oil/washer fluid and so on
7. my payoff was $6433.60 so maybe i can get $66.40 back as a overpayment
8. this is very minor but when you buy a car, dont you normally fill up the gas tank? dude, mine was empty and i had to stop by at the gas station on my way home!

thanks,

James

Also I spoke to my girlfriend about her clothing line...

She is very interested in speaking with you about it further.

Best,

Remote keyless entry system w/rolling code protection, remote front window down & trunk release
according to the information

many thanks,

James

Dress for business. Park the car in the front of the showroom at its busiest time. Talk about your problems firmly, but with decorum. Lower your voice when they start to talk turkey, but do not accept their offer to take the converstation into private. Finish the negotiations in the main showroom area. Be vocal, but keep it civil. Good luck.

 

[cantsleep]

i got an agreement, for the repair.

and it has been past one month since the date.
whenever i call in, the service dept says that they dont have the part..
and still waiting on the required part to arrive.

can i file a claim on this since i now have em in writing and it's past one month?

i bought the extended warranty on this. i think i should cancel the warranty, too..
