I brought it in for two small warranty items, a jammed trunk, and a bad antenna, on 12/19/06. and told them not to drive it off the lot, and the next morning, Gene B, an employee, took it on a ride and wrecked it, causing about $15,000 in damages to the front passenger side. The chp report #marin chp 9350, officer Pozzi, lists the driver as driving too fast for the conditions which caused the accident. An accident is something that's unavoidable. This was pure careless acceleration out of a turn, trying to pass on the right shoulder, into the gravel, and he spun out donut style, and got run down by some poor box truck, which was also damaged due to this guy's careless negligent driving. Now I'm going down to make my $829 monthly payment, and my new vette, is sitting in the body shop, wrecked. The dealer is refusing to replace the car or compensate me for the lost value on resale. It took two days to get a claim # and a rental. I found some drugs under the seat in an orange prescription bottle, codeine acetominaphane, and some other pills. My wife is heart broken. It has ruined our christmas. A lawyer will cost us $5,000. I have more pics but don't know how to post them. The dealer says his driver was not cited for reckless driving, but the police never do that unless they witness it, and even then, it takes 100mph in a 25mph zone for them to cite. It might help us for people to let the dealer know they bad publicity will prevent them from buying from that dealer. It will take 6 weeks for the car to be repaired, and we will not be driving it even after it is repaired due to the filthy nature of the drugs and the accident. This has ruined the car for us.
